Well its been 11 months and i've finally lost 200lbs! I am very excited. It has been a long rough road but it's getting better. I had my revision on march 5th and it went very well. He was able to do it lap instead of open this time...man the difference was amazing!! I went home the next day and had to keep reminding myself I had surgery. He spent about 4 and a half hours in there removing scar tissue etc. He did have to create a new pouch..my first pouch was completely adhered to my liver, he got as much of it out as he could. He thinks that may have been one of the reasons for my pain when I ate. So hopefully strictures are a thing of the past, I wouldn't be sad if I never had to have another EGD again!!! I know i've had my fair share of them. It's going to be nice being able to eat without chasing it with pain medicine. Well just wanted to share my excitement with everyone!!! I only have 47 more lbs to get to my goal weight and 74 lbs to get to my surgeons goal weight. I never would have thought it would have been obtainable.... I'm glad I was wrong!!!! Hope everyone is doing well!!! Rose

Oh Lizzie, I am certainly praying tat you don't have mono too. Let's hope you are just tired from taking care of a sick child. All mom's know how draining that can be. Prayers for you. Also, my daughter missed a month of school due to pneumonia complicated with asthma. It is possible to get caugt up and the school can send a tutor to your home to help your son keep on top of his work. I used to tutor children like this often. It could be children with all different ailments. Check into it. You don't have to pay for it. Praying, KimM.

I will definately pray for you, hoping you DONT got it, and for a speedy recovery for your son. That age it is hard for them to be sick. They have so much going on that they like. Really bums them out. Hope is all well soon Take care of your whole family. Prayers are out to you and your whole family. Kathleen
