I weighed today......
Thank you very much! I am told I have lost more than alot of people do in one year. The bad part is I have had 4 surgeries because of complications. I keep saying each time they open me up they remove apart of my fat...lol I can dream cant I? I have a wonderful surgeon and his PA (Winter) is the greatest!
being healthy has its rewards....take the challenge and just do it
Monday after Thanksgiving I was in the OR for a serious infection that had me go back in a total of three times. Then on March the third I had a hernia and gall bladder removed. The hernia was bigger than a football and it lookd like I had another boob. THe saddest part it looked better( more firm) then my real ones.

Thats so awesom Pattye,
It sure has not been a easy go for you! Anyone that thanks wls is easy should talk to you. You should be very proud of yourself you are doing great! My prayer for you is that your health will get even better and that you will be able to say goodbye to all the complications!!! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing both sides of this surgery, the good and the bad it will help me if anything happens to go out of wack to know hey things can happen you did not go into this blindly.
God bless and have a great week! Karla
Karla when I go to support groups I am open about everything that I have gone through. I will show my big incision from having open rny to showing where the drain tubes and the feeding tube was. I just dont believe in paiting a rosy picture when its not all perfect. I plan on being at the Bethany support group meeting on the eighth if I leave Myrtle Beach SC on Monday I will be at the OWLO one the following Tuesday and the Face to Face at the hospital. Hope to see ya there.

Thank you for being willing to share. If anyone thinks this is the easy way out, they don't have their facts straight. It takes a lot of hard work and discipline. But it does give you a "secret weapon"!
I'm so sorry you've had such a rough time of it. That just doesn't seem fair! But it sounds like you are well on your way to good health and I wish you much good luck!
Keep us posted on your progress!
