Sorry for the typos..I'm using a different computer

Thank you so much. I just read it and now I am scared. She doesnt recommend the surgery anymore. She was so for it. I feel so badly for her and she is so sick. Is anyone on this board know anyone 5 years out or more and are they ok? Help us,

WOW, I just read her story and I feel so bad for her. She was one who was always so supportive of everyone else. Iwill keep her in my prayers, that is for sure. I still would recommend this surgery to anyone who is eligible for it. I have kept my vitamins up and so far, so good. Hope she gets better and that her outlook will get brighter too. God Bless You Sandy

Cindy, Hi, I found this guy on this site, and he is 18+ years out. I haven't spoken to him, but it would sure be nice to know how he feels and is doing. I too am praying for Sandy and wishing her a quick recovery. She is so good to everyone. Congrats on your weightloss...Amazing!

Wasn't Sandy using the spray vitamins? I wonder if those had anything to do with her deficiency. I will keep her in my prayers. Let us know if you hear anything more. Hugs, Jaimee

Hi All..As a member of Sandys support group, I can tell you she did use the spray vitamins for a few months..not her entire post operative period. She no longer uses them. Who can say how this happened, since she tried to be a perfect WLS patient. She currently has an NJ (not NG ) tube that her husband places formula in every couple of hours. Her surgeon is bulking her up so that she can have a revision done. She would enjoy your emails I am sure. She doesnt get on the computer a whole lot, but she does try her best. Will you please add her to your prayer list tonight? Lisa Durbin 416-346-? Dr. Selwyn

Lisa, I will absolutely pray for her. I can't imagine how devastating this is for her. She has been such a support to others and it really doesn't seem fair that this happened to her. Let her know I am praying for her and thanks for the info. Hugs, Jaimee

Cindy, To answer your questions, I am home after 8 days in the University of Cincinnati Hospital. I was in there for IV Multi-Vitamins, and Thiamine. I am now home with an NJ Tube. I am on 24 hour feedings. I will keep this tube for 3 weeks. I will than have an EGD by Dr. Calvin Selwyn. He will than do a revision surgery, not a reversal. If anyone has any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to call me. My number is on my website imnotfatanymore.com. Thanks for all your prayers. Sandy
