I have had a somewhat slow recovery from my open ryn and I only began real walking yesterday so I was surprised I lost 18 pounds.

At my appointment I also found out I have a huge infection around my naval. It is red swollen and hot. I started antibiotics today and I go back in a week. The doctor may have to drain it (yuk!).

I have had 2 stuck episodes and 1 dump. I don't ever want to go there again.

Regardless I am feeling pretty darn good. I was busy most of the day and energetic.

Sorry about the infection, that doesn't sound good. Is it just in the skin or something else?

18 lbs is amazing!!! Way to go! I can't wait to see how well we all do, its going to be a fun journey.

Sorry to hear about your infection. Let's hope these antibiotics kick it quickly!

You already know what fails. You also know what works. Pick one.
