4 Weeks Post-Op

Sorry my finger slipped! Yesterday was my fourth week post-op. I am finally getting an update sent. I have lost exactly 50 lbs. I developed an infection the second week where one of my drainage tubes were located. I have been on antibotics for 17 days now & have to pack the site. I have gone from 13 meds to 1-2 per day now. My BP is great & Blood surgar is pretty good. The biggest problem I have is low energy and tireness. The last few days I have been dizzy. Everything checks out. My regular Doc thinks is might be a virus or inner ear infection. Thanks for all the valuable information I have read on this site. Steph

Wow Stephanie! Sorry to hear about all the complications. No wonder your body is worn down- between losing 50# and all that other stuff its' a wonder you can even move! As you heal, your energy should start to soar. Soon all this crap will be a memory!

Hang in there Stephanie, hopefully in a couple of weeks you'll be over the infection and things will start bouncing back for you. And when you feel better, and start to see how your body is changing, things will look a whole lot brighter. Take care of yourself. - Deb W.
