Had my 1 mth post op visit with my surgeon. Im happy to say Im now down 41 lbs! I lost 8 b4 surgery and 33 since. :) Im getting excited and for the first time in a LONG time Im looking forward to summer! I wonder if my Husband would like me to go out and buy some booty shorts? lol just joking. Oh ya.. Ive been off my bp meds since surgery and my bp is great. That was my only health problem b4 surgery so thats a very good thing. My port holes have healed the infection is gone and Im able to sleep curled up with my body pillow the way I like it. :) Im off my pain meds and having no problems moving around. Im pain free!! Well folks thats all for now.

I seem to be able to eat just bout anything on the list Im allowed without getting sick and I am drinking lots of water with no probs. yay! Thats all for now folks!

Set back
Jan 05, 2008
Well, I made it at home 2 days and then back in Hospital. I woke up New Years at 4 am burning up. My Husband took me to the ER and I found out I had a temp of 104. They started antibiotics in my IV and they had to cut me open again to get some of the infection out. I still have a pretty deep hole in my belly and I have a RN who comes out everyday too see me. Its not so bad after the fact but when she has to unpack and repack it back up, I feel like I could just die. The pain is just that bad!! Ive been home again since Jan3rd seem to being doing well and fever is staying below 100. Im hanging in there!!
