Surgery Finally!!!
Hello Everyone!!!
My computer hard drive crashed months ago. So I am sitting at my sisters typing this in.
Just to let everyone know I did finally have my surgery July 7. I had about 7 surgeries rolled into one
1. The tried the endoluminal thing that did not work ~~ going down my throat to fix stomach for new surgery.
2. Then they tried lap ~~ couldn't go that way either.
3. So finally they cut me open ~~
Then they tried to fix the old staple line couldn't do that either so they finally had to remove that part of the stomach
I had lots of scar tissue and adhesions which they removed plus they had to remove a hernia that was between fat layers.
But ALL IS NOW GREAT and I am on the losers bench. The first month after surgery I lost 20 lbs then hit a stall this week finally I lost 3 more pounds so I am off of that plateau.
I have been realized to start excersing and swimming now so here we go!!!
I am also on vacation (seeing kids and grandkids) for the next 3 weeks so my posting will be hit and miss till I get back home and get my computer back.
Thanks all for hanging in with me.
I feel as if I am now FREE!!!
