Home yet agian.

Well Just wanted to let everyone know that I am home from the hospital agian.Most didn't even know I was in.This is really getting to the point that I am so mad at myself to even been in the perdicament to even have to have this surgry done.I will be one of those people that has a very long recovery road ahead of me.I have numerous blood clots 2 being in my left lung and the new one being in my new belly pouch.With the new one in the belly pouch it had also backed up into the old stomach which caused me to have internal bleeding.SO being on blood thinners they could not do what I needed done because I would of bleed to death basically.So Im damed if I do and damed if I don't at this point.I just have to watch everything,deal with the pain,and probably be in and out of the hospital.What a way I have lived the last 3 weeks.I been in there more than home.My poor family more than me.As it was they had a delivered thanksgiving dinner cause I was in the hospital and Im not seeing X-mas being any better.I haven't even bought ONE gift.OK im done biotching,I just been an emotional mess and this was a place to vent.

Very sorry to hear about your difficulties, Naomi. This will pass, though. Hang in there. What is one holiday season compared to the rest of your life? Many of us are praying for you. You concentrate on rest, relaxation and recuperation. Hugs, Lois

oh naomi, I am so sorry your having a hard time with this, I had my surgery a day after you did and I have been watching your progress I am so sorry your having to deal with these blood clots I know they can be scary but soon you will get over this hurdle and begin to be thankful for this surgery it just seems along way from here... but you will.... i was having the same issues you are having in the hospital, the rapid breathing the rapid heart rate and the difficult breathing but for me i was sent home and it just developed into a chest cold for me. I will be wishing only the best for you and hoping to hear how your doing and improving.... keep smiling you will love this surgery once you begin to feel better... Beth

Naomi , I am so sorry for your set back .. .. I know how troubling this can be . I watched a great friend of mine go through an ordeal where I thought I lost him .. and today he is on the mend and a big looser .. I am sure you are an emotional wreck .. having doubts, but these are things that we know can happen during this surgery and it is tragic that it has happend to you ... please do not let this get you down . I know my words are not going to be enough for you ... but I want you to hang in there .. do everything you can to get better .. I know you will .. and just keep your eye on what all has happend .. you had surgery to fight obesity .. and you will mend .. and I promise you .. a year from now .. this will all be a blurr .. and you will be so healthy . Just know if you need anything , If your family needs anything , you can count on us here .. we are here for you .. however you will take us .. Again , I am so sorry and wish you nothing but the best and will pray for your healing . Much love , Natalie

Naomi Sorry to hear about your difficulties, I can imagine how frustrating it is for you and your family, I know it may be difficult to be patient but you must try and keep the faith, as I am sure you have read about many folks that have had difficulties and they have overcome them, just take a look at everything Natalie has gone through and continues to go through, now if there is anyone that I could understand throwing in the towell it would be her, but NO!!!! she hasn't even come close, she will get through and so will you and both of you will be much stronger in the end. So stay strong, be patient and most of all put your faith in the Lord to get you and your family through it all, especially this time of year. God Bless and hope to hear the good news when it comes for you and hope to see at the group meetings. Keith
