Update on Shari

Hi all, I heard from Shari and she's doing a little better.  Still in a lot of pain and only taking Tylenol 3.  She's still not able to sleep for more than a couple of hours at a time because she can't lie down in bed, so she's been parked in a chair.  Her doctor has told her to hang in there and it will slowly get better.  She thinks she came home too early and I agree. And on top of that she has not had a lot of help while she's been at home, so she's had to do things herself that she really doesn't have the strength or energy to do.  Her Sig Ot has to work but he has been doing what he can.  A friend who was supposed to help out has been pretty useless.  Her spirits are really good though, she's as feisty as ever so that's a positive sign.  She did make a comment about how she can't believe that anyone would have WLS just to look good.  That's our girl!!

Tali,  Thanks for the update... Shari know she is a silly mess... I can totally her saying that....  She'll be okay in a bit... Sounds like it has been rough on her... I am praying for continued healing for her...

WLS Sucks ass the first two weeks. All you ask yourself is "Why did I do this??!!?!".  It'll pass and she'll be losing weight faster than you can imagine.

I was worried too - the members of this board have come to be my little "family"! I'm sure that things will better for her everyday as she heals!

LOL... you lil you-know-what! One must suffer to be beautiful, that's WHY! You will not be asking that question when the pounds are dropping and you are able to move and live like you have not done for many years.  I am soooo sorry that you are having a rough time. That sucks, it really does. It will make you more - ahem - regretful than many people have to bear.  But only for a time.

I know what you mean Heather.  I would love to be able to just hop on a plane and take care of my sister.
