July 22,2016 was my surgery. Have a set though. The next day the 23rd. In the a.m. i asked for help to go to the rest room. The nurse came in help me up. Not putting a gate belt on me. Tried to help me to the restroom. I got dizzy the next thing I remember is waking up on the floor. Well got me on my bed. With the help of about 15 nurses. Later that day i noticed my foot was hurting. Come to find out it is broken. On the following my surgery they had to take me back in. I had eternal bleeding. They had to give me 3pints of blood. I have lost close to 25lbs. I really cant do any exercise so that is really depressing. Good work everyone!!!! It is a hard struggle but we can do it. Sent from my N9518 using the BariatricPal App

Well Friday the 22nd had surgery. Went to recovery for a while. Then they sent me to my room. Later that Friday I started throwing up blood then had diarrhea.I did that the rest of that day. Saturday morning about 5 I sent for the nurse because I had to go to the restroom. She helped me up. I got dizzy and the next thing I knew I was on the floor. I was there for about 45min. They got me on the bed. I stand in bed for the rest of the day. I noticed that my foot was hurting and I kept telling everyone. They sent me for a CT SCAN they found the leak and I had to go back into surgery and stop the bleeding. I had the to have 3pints of blood. Well my doctor came in and check on me and I told him that my foot was hurting. He had it x rayed and come to find out my foot is broken. Now I have to go the surgeon and schedule for a foot surgery. This has been a real experience. I don't think I ever want to go through this again. Sent from my N9518 using the BariatricPal App

I am really getting frustrated. My first surgery date was suppose to be today the 13th. They said that they want have a or open for this type of surgery until the 18th. I was OK with that. Now I get a phone call yesterday and they have to change my date again to the 22ndbecause he wants a certain doctor to assist him. I just want my surgery over with. I have so much going on with my life right. Sent from my N9518 using the BariatricPal App

Well I have gotten alot of support from these groups and thank you for that. Well I got into a fight with my husband last night to the point I told him I did not even want him at the hospital on Monday. We are going through so much right now. I know my surgery doesn't help things but I'm not changing it. I have been working so hard for this. I just don't know what else to do. Sent from my N9518 using the BariatricPal App

When we first got married I was at 174. Then I had babies and several surgeries so my weight gain started. I has cheated on me before so I would not be surprised if he did again. Thank you everyone for the support. I really don't have anyone to stay with. I can do this. It will be hard but I can do this.. If he wants to leave after I loose my weight I really don't think I am going to stop him. Like someone said he is controlling. Thank you again Sent from my N9518 using the BariatricPal App

Well as some as you may have read from my last status I really haven't been stuck to my diet. Everytime I try to go half a day I get really shaky. I have been using my Meal Replacements and my Jello but I fill the same way. I really don't know what is going on. Do anyone have any suggestions. Anything would be helpful.

OK I was suppose to start my 2wk liquid diet last week. I have been doing as much as I can. I have NO support from my husband. He says he supports me by buy me the Meal Replacements and sugar free Jello. Then he also buys the honey buns and the pizza. Says you can do it next week. It want hurt anything. Then when I try not to eat anything he say it will be OK go ahead. It's like he does not want me to get healthy. He weighs over 200 lbs also and I am afraid he will leave me if I get real small. I use to be 130lbs at 18,but that was before kids and before surgeries and my hysterectomy. I am not doing this for him. I'm doing it for myself. I can't do anything anymore. I want to fill better. What is so bad he told me if I did get below 150 he would leave. I just don't know what to do. Do y'all have any advice please. Sent from my N9518 using the BariatricPal App

You never know what plans God has for you. I left home when I was 17 with a man I thought I love but in reality I was just running away. After being married to him for 3yrs I got pregnant and I was so excited but he wasn't. So he filed for divorce. I went back to highschool and I was going to raise my baby by myself. Sadly tragedy struck when I was full term and my sweet baby girl passed away. I didn't understand why. Why God would take my baby from me. But now as I am old I am on several angel mom groups. There to support other that has lost their sweet baby. Like my weight. I was not always this big. I had to have a hysterectomy at 26 and I started gaining the weight and I could never get it off. Now I have health problems and lucky I have insurance that pays 100%. The reason I want on this group is for support from others that has already had the surgery. God know I really need the support. Don't get me wrong I have support from my husband and children but I would like to have support from people that has been through what I am about to go through. Thank you for your time and God Bless.

OK I did not know about a drain tube. Where is that located??? Sent from my N9518 using the BariatricPal App

I'm new here. I'm 45yrs old. I need help. That is why I joined this group. That is why I asked help yesterday and I got it. There is no way I would eat bacon after week after having surgery. I want my health to get better not worse but stupid stuff just because of my cravings that I can surely wait a few weeks for. @@Kindle I was you would reconsider I am a newbie and I need people like you for the support.
