Well, I have been home from the hospital since Monday evening. I had surgery on Wed Sept. 3. The surgeon went in to do an exploratory lap and to insert a feeding tube to my old stomach because I am severely malnourished right now. So, the surgery was only supposed to be an hour long and that was to explore the abdomen and then insert the feeding tube. The surgery ended up being 3hours long. I had severe scar tissue build up. My liver had so much scar tissue it was attached to my pouch, and I had a lot of scar tissue on/around the pouch itself which was causing all the pain. Also, I had a bowel to the right of my pouch that had twisted and then collapsed in on itself. He had to untwist the bowel and then stitched up so it wouldn't twist or collapse again. Also, I had busted several stitches due to the excessive vomiting I have been having. And lastly, he found a large right ovarian cyst that I will follow up with my OBGYN for. He did insert the feeding tube as well to allow my stomach to heal over the next 6 weeks. My surgeon is pretty sure that the bowel and scar tissue were causing all of the problems that I was having. On the good side of things, I weighed myself last night and I'm officially down 110 lbs since surgery!!! Thank you all for your positive thoughts and prayers. Please continue to keep me in them as I continue to heal.

@@Ginger Snaps I definitely feel like nobody listening right now except my surgeon. I'm currently in the hospital and the doctors other than my surgeon are treating me like I'm making all this up. Its very frustrating. Idk what to do any more

After a ling 6months of dieting I have been approved by insurance for Roux-en-y gastric bypass surgery on May 23. I'm so excited that this is finally happening. I know I waited the 6 months but I think that this last month is going to be the hardest...lol!!
