Here I go again...I am having incisional hernia repair and gallbladder removel next week. I look like I am 10 months pregnant and have a hernia the entire length of my open incision. The surgery is going to be done over the RNY incision so I am going to have another 2 month recovery time. I haven't been able to eat anything except for shakes and cream of wheat.

Still I am in better health by far than I was 4 months ago. This probably sounds silly but I feel great when I am not sick. So this is just a bump in the road and it will be fixed. I am going to the Med-Mart to rent one of those chairs that help you stand. I got one 3 days after my RNY and it was a life saver.

Check out my blog to follow my journey.

Wow, I''m sorry!! I wondered how you were doing. I'm sorry for the bump in the road but sounds like you have the mental toughness to handle it all. Good luck.

Oh My gosh!!!  You can't win for losing eh?  I am so happy to hear that you do feel great *some* of the time ....having a lot of those excess pounds gone does make a HUGE difference.

I just moved from Michigan to Georgia.  Been here 3 weeks.  I honestly don't know how I could've pulled it off with the 70 lbs on me that I have lost since April.

I wish you the BEST OF LUCK and I hope this will be the last bump in the road for you!!!!!!  XOXO
