Checkin In

Hi Everyone, Just thought I would check in. Looks like weekends are not good for me..hehe....Yesterday my incision on the bottom started to leak out liquids. Well i had a drs appt today and called and got in early and found out my incision had a little pocket of fat that kind of started seeping through. So now i have to pack it twice a day to take care of it. I also got my G tube out and have to change that dressing twice a day but it feels so good for that to be out. I go back to the dr in two and a half weeks for a check up. Oh and I lost another 11lbs which makes it a total of 16lbs gone for ever...wahoo..oh and the nurse said she thinks i may have to get a new binder soon the one i have now is getting to big for me.

WOOOHOOO JESS.... I got my tubes pulled out before they released me... and OMFG... it didnt really hurt as much as it was the ODDEST feeling in the world and was uncomfortable... I guess I yelled, and the woman in the room next to me, who hadnt poopied yet, but was having the WORST GASS PAINS in the world heard me and FLIPPED A LID... and is now in the middle of a MAJOR PANIC ATTACK about hearing the Dr. say "ok, lets pull these out of your stomach now." then me screaming.... OPPS... I just have to get my staples out and my Groshong Cath out on thursday..... But still walking like the hunch back of Noter Dame...lol I dont own a scale, and I think that is a good thing for the moment, cause I would probe be on it everyday...lol.. So I'll see of the WATER DIET I have been on since the Sunday BEFORE my surgery has made me lose any yet... KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK... Paige 6/13/05 375/175

Yeah when my G-tube came out it did feel really weird thats for sure. I go to the nurse when she took it out that feels really odd....lol...she goes it will. The drain tube I didnt feel much of anything since I was in so much pain from it. That tube came out in the ER though. Oh oh poor lady but I understand why you screamed. OH the staples arent bad at all coming out. But boy does it feel good to not have them in. Yeah I still walk like the hunch back every so often though every day gets better. Its good not to own a scale or yes you would be weighing yourself every day. I only get weighed when I see my dr or go to a support group meeting because theres a scale there to use which is nice once I dont see the dr at least I can weigh myself every month. Oh im sure the water diet has helped you loose alot thats for sure though with having all that IV fluid in you. You will have to give yourself time to get rid of all of it. I know It made me gain but now its all gone finally You keep up the good work to. Jess
