Hi Everyone, I just wa...

Hi Everyone, I just want to let you all know that I am doing really great after all the complications. I am the one whose pouch and intestine completely detached and got very sick although it did not present itself as a leak because my body created a protective pouch around it. (Is God good or what!!) I had 3 surgeries and 4 endoscopies but the GOOD NEWS is that in the 4 months since my first surgery, I've lost 100 pounds. I am now actually eating real food and salads. My gastric bypass was revised in August so I am starting from square one again and that lengthens my window of opportunity to loose the next 120 pounds. Thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes. I especially want thank Julie Jenson and Lisa Cyr for your Emails. It really encouraged me. ( I go to the first Tuesday support group, so hope to see you there!)

Great to hear you are on the mend and 100lbs so far??????? That is Fantastic!!!!! Keep up the super job! Theresa

Hi Heather! So glad to see you on the board and to hear you're doing SO WELL! 100 POUNDS! WOW!! Awesome! You've been through more than your share of complications and I pray it's smooth sailing from here on out for you. It was great to run into you at the Dr's office last month! I missed this month's meeting, started a new job about 4 weeks ago and was scheduled to work, but I'm going to make sure that I'm able to go in October. Look forward to seeing you there! Julie

I was so glad to hear that you are doing better!! I have been unable to attend the past couple support group meetings because my parents have been ill. However, I will make every effort to go to the first Tuesday support group meeting in October. Look forward to meeting you in person! You definitely deserve the best after everything you have gone through! You are such a strong person to have overcome all those obstacles! Your story will give hope and strength to many people out there that are going through tough times. Keep up the great work! Hope the weight loss goes well for you and that those plateaus pass you by! Take Care and hope to see you soon! Lisa
