Kmccrary Update
No I did not have to lose any weight before surgery but I did have to maintain. I had been gaining about 5 pounds a month so I was pretty careful not to gain. It definitely could be part of why it has been so hard, but mostly I think I just didn't keep pouchie happy and he made my life miserable. At least he seems to be happier so hopefully we can live together peacefully and I can continue this journey with less drama.
I'm glad you're starting to feel better... carafate is icky, but it does work. I know you've had a heck of a time, but I am glad to see things getting better. *hugs*
