i'm back

Well it has been a strange and unique journey. Easter Sunday I was started throwing up every 15 minutes. Went to the ER and they told me I had a virus and that I would be fine. They also said i would have diarrhea. I did but it was dark. I thought it was s/f grape and raspberry popsicles. By the following Friday I was feeling OK ands went to dinner with some WLS friends. I started feeling pukey again right at the restaurant and got real weak n dizzy. We decided to call the squad because I could not stand up. They took me to Mercy Fairfield South where it was found I was bleeding internally. I also had gallstone pancreatitis. They ran several tests and Wednesday this past week Dr Moreira removed the gall bladder. I still have to have an upper GI and they want to put a camera in me. Appartently you swallow it. On the plus side I am down to 270 at 11 months out. I had a lot of gravel in the gallbladder and a couple of the stones had gotten into the bile duct. It is good to be back and I truly felt like George from a "It's a wonderful life". I got several little milestones. I was able to fit in the regular hospital gown. Thery didn't have to cut the footies to make them fit. Other than being sore from the lap gallbladder removal, I am feeling much better. Thanks for listening.

Wow--what a trip you had. Glad you back and still positive. Hope you get to feeling top notch right away. Sandy

Glad you are back and doing much better! Sue

Jack, I missed you on the boards. I can't believe they left your gall bladder in when you had WLS. Oh well, it is gone now. I had problems with mine years ago and had it removed. Great to have you back and to hear about the weight loose. While you were gone, I had my surgery and I am on my way to my first check up Wish me luck on the scales Welcome home

Jack, I'm glad your home and doing well.

so glad you are home and safe! you were missed!!!
