UPDATE!!!

Hi all!!Many of you have asked for me to keep in touch and give an update from my last post a couple weeks ago when I was home from revision surgery!! Well....things are still very "delicate". As I said before Dr put in a g tube into my old stomach and I was attempting formula thru a syringe as instructed. That did not work and when I saw my PCP this week I am again dehydrated and remain malnourished,. They now have continous feeding going thru a pump( 20 hrs a day****il I can get to 2000 calories. I continue to lose weight and my labs are a mess but I am now more optimistic with the pump feedings. My "new" pouch is VERY grouchy and I am only able to get in if lucky 2 ozs of pureed 2xs a day and I have to force myself to do that. I ordered and went back to all chewable vitamins to help in that area. I went on to a yahoo group complications board and granted it is a very low % of people on there but others have similar problems. Again I say I never have regrted having WLS because if I did not I would not be here today. Thanks to all for well wishes you have been sending!!!

I hope this continuous pump will help you get the nutrition that you need. Maybe now you'll finally start feeling better. I hope so! Pamela
