Okay all - there is a patient in the hospital who is a revision - she had her band replaced once and still had issues so had a revision. She had it on 7/11. She is having some issues and needs all of our prayers. Her BP is low and she has not been able to walk. She has an excessive amount of drainage and Dr. A is going to go back in and check things out to be sure she has no leaks. She is very scared, as you can imagine; and everyone who has been here with left today, will be leaving today, or will be leaving in the morning. I will not give her name, just call her "N". Please everyone, say your prayers for her and that she has a speedy recovery. She is here by herself.

Thank you, VegasAngel.

Oh my goodness, the poor thing. She is definitely in my thoughts. Did you get her information so you will be able to check on her and see how she is doing? If so, please keep us updated as well.

I'm so sorry to hear that. She will be in my prayers. Is there anyway that you will be able to update us on her progress?

How is Bob? Are you doing all the driving?

Thanks everyone -- she was on a cpap machine when I went in to see her last and unable to talk, so I left her my email and contact information and asked her to keep me posted as to how she was doing. I also texted Dr. Campos to ask how she was after they went back into surgery yesterday afternoon about 3:30. I haven't received a response yet. Once I hear, I will be sure and let you all know. Thank you for your prayers I know they will help.

will do.. How are you and Bob? hopefully your all doing well..

How is Bob? Are you doing all the driving?

Bob is fine - and no, he did almost all the driving, stubborn man - guess he figured I wouldn't drive 85 the entire way - he did end up gaining us about an hour in time. He finally gave in and turned the wheel over to me about 1.5 hours from home. He was thankful to be able to sleep in our own bed last night and said he tossed and turned until about 1:30 and then slept - I have to go to work today; however, I won't wake him before I leave and hopefully he'll feel rested when he wakes.

Thank all of you for asking.

Glad to hear Bob is doing well. He sounds like the typical, stubborn man when it comes to driving, lol. Lee is the same way.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS

I don't know all the details (yet); however, what I do know is that "N" was released this morning and appeared to be feeling and looking great when she was discharged.

From what I know, she was given two units of blood and was released when she was stable. If I hear anything more, I will let you know.

Thank you again for all your prayers!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
