I am HOME!!
Hi all,
I am finally home again. I am doing good since surgery. I have even lost all the water weight that I came home from the hospital with and lost another 4 lbs. So I am feeling pretty good right now. I stayed with friends and did pop in and check out the messages once in awhile but didn't post any. Seems funny saying I went into the hospital weighing 418 and came out weighing 438 and yesterday morning was 414. but that is what happened.
So, just wanted to Thank Emily for posting for me while I was gone and letting you all know that I was doing good and that I did good during surgery.
I go for my first follow-up appointment on Thursday the 14th. so we'll see what the dr. says then. The Dr. did tell me that he had removed some scar tissue besides doing the RNY, and I have noticed a difference in one area. I think the scar tissue was putting pressure on my bladder as for years I have had problems with leaking constantly and I have noticed that now I am not having that problem. so YEAH!! Of course that may be TMI for some people. If you ahve never had that problem you don't know how embarresing it is to have to wear pads constantly and still leak through them at times.
Now to get busy and get some other things done, but still need to be careful and watch what I am doing so I don't overdue. Talk to you all soon.
It's SO GOOD to hear from you. I'm glad you're home. There's no place like home, to recuperate. :) You sound great, and I'm so happy that you've felt relief in one area, already. It's only the beginning! :)
My prayers continue for you. Sip, walk, and rest. Don't rush things. Enjoy the journey. Welcome to the Loser's Bench!
Blessings,
