Iggy? Where did you go? You ok?

Having a tough day. Back/shoulder pain are intense. Radiating abdominal pain and severe nausea again. Waiting lab results to see what is going in. Leak related? Dr said potential emergency gallbladder removal. I will post again soon. Going to have more meds and try to rest. I feel miserable

Thank you so much!! I am going to work my rear off!!

It's crazy isn't it? So many symptoms to be aware of. It's good that we can listen to our bodies right? After all we know them best!!! I can't encourage people enough to just be aware and seek help when your body is talking!!! So important!!! How's your sleeve experience going?

Hello!! Oh man!! So you have your hands full!!! San Fran is on our list!! I think I am ready now!! Oddly enough I am craving some sun!! Oregon is colder, rainy and often windy. Today we've had rain, hail, wind and moments of bright sun. Summer is mild, but can get into the 100's. Bend is real nice!! My husband works for an airline and one of stations is near Bend. Your going to have a great trip this Summer!! Sounds like you found some necessities!! shopping for new clothes will be so fun!!! Clothes shopping as a fit person should be more fun right? Best, Sannah

So Venla had a checked up yesterday!! I am always worried about her being too heavy. I don't want her to walk down this road. I am working to be active and teach her good nutrition. I want to change my family tree!! Great news!! She is in 95th percentile for height and head circumference. 75th percentile for weight!! So, she is growing and healthy!! She likes the dog food lately!! Haha. I have to remind her she is a vegetarian!!! I hope to get back to my vegetarianism as well!!

Thank you SO much!! Me it!! Today is truly a special day!!

Oh my goodness!! It's a good day today!! Have a good walk!! Sounds like a nice outing!! I hope you can get a little something at your favorite shop!! That would be AWESOME!! . Sorry to her food isn't settling well today. May tomorrow be better! I am feeling pretty good!! 47g of Protein so far!! I generally don't weigh myself. I did today!! Down 66.7 lbs!!! I think that Venla and I will go on walk if the gives us a break!!! I want to drive us somewhere, but I have barely driven but two blocks. Not ready to have little v in the car until I feel confident. Tomorrow my folks are coming over!! Have a great walk and time with your family!!!

Hello All! I am re-reading my Vst account. I recently have Been well enough to reach out. I have been down a long rough road. I am SO sorry to have left you hanging. I do not recall making this post. I wanted to post to update you if you hadn't seen my post in the complications section. I never meant to leave you guys hanging like this. Please forgive me. I am doing so much better!! I had a leak that caused my heart to have trouble and several other things went south. Iwas in the hospital for too long. Christmas and the New Year weren't normal this year. Bless my family for doing so great!!! They brought everything to me in the hospital. I am no longer in the hospital. I no longer have any tubing!! I no longer require daily medical intervention, but I see my doctor/s weekly now. A couple days ago I started PURÉES!! I am getting ready to drive. I am not completely back to my normal life, but I am working on it. The leak brought tons of emotions and I see a counselor weekly until I am on my feet again. I want to thank everyone who wishes me well. You guys have been so amazing. The support is amazing to have. Your words are heartfelt. You're messages have been this on going and constant positive current that has pulled me through many challenging times. I can't fully express my gratitude in words, but please know I am so thankful for your posts and well wishes. I have been humbled by the support I have received here on VST!!! I hope your journey has been amazing!! I would love to hear how your doing!!! Wishing you the Best!! Respectfully, Sannah

Thank you!! I am so happy to be feeling much better!!! Aww! 3 year old granddaughter!! So fun!! I am sure she is tons of fun!!! lucky grandma!! I live in a weird area that can be called portland or milwaukie. Not far from downtown and also not far from Clackamas and 205. Wishing you the best, Sannah

Hello Leann!! Thank you so much. You brought a huge smile to my face. I am SO much better. Not hospitalized, not going to the hospital daily for care. I no longer have any tubes attached to my body!! It's so amazing. I now go in weekly and still require a fair amount of help. But home is best!! thank you for messaging me!! Your message is heartfelt!! Best, Sannah
