YAY YAY that's great news ! ! !

Because of the location of my abscesses, I was hospitalized for a week, had 2 drains placed, and was on IV antibiotics for 7 days then came home with drains for a couple of weeks, and then a couple more weeks of oral antibiotics.

Thanks Tiffy, It's really a relief. The CT scan Doctor was a student of my father in Medical school (My Father still works with RX with almost 80 years old, but he does not have the CT machine). So he was very careful and told me he looked very hard but there is nothing there.

Still about the abcess recover. Was you alowed to eat?

Yes I was allowed to eat. I was about 7 weeks post op, and the abscesses were not attached to my stomach. 2 were floating in my abdominal cavity, and one was in my pelvic cavity. They think microscopic bacteria was left behind from the leak repair even with a couple hours of abdominal flushing bacteria can be left behind.

At least it's much easier recover than a leak. I think that sometimes because we are so weak with the weight lost that desease attack.

I'm felling much better today! But still does not know what was the cause of the fever. They are guessing a sinus fever (since I have an history with it). Did not had to take any tylenol for fever until now (8:00 PM).

I think all info posted here is of great value for others. I will post here a folow up after I'm out of the antibiotical stuff.

Just to let everybody knows that I'm fully recovered from my illness. It looks like it was really a virus. A week after my last post above it went down to my balls! What a pain!

But now I'm in track again only experiencing my first stall.

So thanks everybody that supported me throut this little crises.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
