Well I finally was sleeved on September 4 2012. At first I thought surgery was a success with no complication. Wellll needless to say I am still hospitalized. I did developed blood clots in my lungs and now going through all that. Hardest part is my daughter cries at night for me and I cry for her. But I have actually exercised for the first time in a long time by walking the hallways while waiting to heal. I am officially off pain meds now for 2 days. AND they are also considering lowering my diabetic meds already. In all honesty the surgery is not bad at all. It is the aftermath to beware of. Hopefully I will be going home tomorrow and they did delivery my oxygen for home use for the time being. Hopefully it will be for a short time. Please keep me in your prayers that I do get to go home. 2 extra days stinks being in the hospital!!!!

I'm sorry to hear that. I'll be praying that you get better and get out of the hospital soon.

Sorry t hear that,I was operated on the 3rd Sept home the 5 sept.No pain gas anything I asked the Dr if she definately did the op.The only thing my sugar went crazy the night or the op.

I will pray for u.

Sorry you've having issues. I know how you feel. I ended up with blood clots all through the arm my i.V. was in and had to go back in the hospital a few days after I was released. You'll be better before you know it!

Feel better!

Hang in there!!Keep us posted

Rocky start but now you can heal. Best of luck and no looking back except to compare before and after pictures!

u will forget all of that after a while believe me ........ every time u step on the scale u will forget about the hardship u been threw

I'm glad you are getting over your complication so quickly.

I pray for your health and that your little one may be in her moms arms soooooon ;()

Cheers

Happy thoughts and prayers to u! keep us posted!

Icing on cake......my poor Aunt Nina lost her battle with cancer on Tuesday. Of course my cousin did not want me to know due to the surgery I was having!!! Now I can't even go to the funeral cause it is today and I am still in the hospital and than they are transporting the body to Ohio to be buried next to my Uncle. This totally stinks!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry the "why me" question is one doctors don't focus on enough, but it's your journey and your life and it has it's own meaning, try putting you illness into the whole of your life- is this part of the struggle something you can handle? Is it what you need to truly move on from the past? And could this untimely death remind you of what could have awaited you if you didn't change your life? Everything happens for a reason, death is part of life, but you still get to live!!! We're all thinking of you & praying for your recovery!
