6 Months After A Fail Surgery....i'm Thinking I Should Try Again?
Thanks all!! I've always had a fatty liver...Diabetes doesnt help..I was 235 now Im at 219...but it's like my old time yoyo diet...it comes and goes...Im condider Obese..But not Morbid...My main reason to do the surgery was to get rid of the Diabetes..and now my sugar are starting to rise again..so it had me rethink about the surgery... I feel like the surgeron now know my history and will be extra precautious to make it work the second time around...I guess I have to restart the process...I will see where it leads me....HEALTHY I HOPE!!

6 Months After A Fail Surgery....i'm Thinking I Should Try Again?
Hello All!!! I truly have disconnected my self from this Forum...I couldnt go back to something that reminded me of what I Failed at. About 6 months ago...my surgery failed...my Liver was to big...So my Dr. ended up closing me back....The AMOUNT OF PAIN...I was in...I swore this would never be done again....Today I thought about maybe doing it a second time....IM SOOOOOOO SCARED!!!!! THAT PAIN, THE DISAPPOINTMENT, FAILURE..It's a feeling that still to this day saddens me. My beloved friends had their successful surgeries and they are simply wonderful people...Im so bless they are in my life...My husband was and still is AMAZING!!! Talk about REAL LOVE!!! He help me when I couldnt clean myself or bath, or even get dress...He attended to our toddler who had no idea why I was in so much pain and so sad at the time...Im rethinking about doing this...but their faces, my parents faces, their worries...It scares me to put them throught this again!...But It something that just about everyday runs through my mind!!!! I will keep it in a matter of prayer and have faith maybe the second time around will be a better experience!! Sleeve- A-Licious is back on the Forum!!!
