Hello All!

I am re-reading my Vst account. I recently have Been well enough to reach out. I have been down a long rough road.

I am SO sorry to have left you hanging. I do not recall making this post. I wanted to post to update you if you hadn't seen my post in the complications section. I never meant to leave you guys hanging like this. Please forgive me.

I am doing so much better!! :) I had a leak that caused my heart to have trouble and several other things went south. Iwas in the hospital for too long. Christmas and the New Year weren't normal this year. Bless my family for doing so great!!! They brought everything to me in the hospital.

I am no longer in the hospital. I no longer have any tubing!! :) I no longer require daily medical intervention, but I see my doctor/s weekly now. A couple days ago I started PURÉES!! I am getting ready to drive. :) I am not completely back to my normal life, but I am working on it. The leak brought tons of emotions and I see a counselor weekly until I am on my feet again.

I want to thank everyone who wishes me well. You guys have been so amazing. The support is amazing to have. Your words are heartfelt. You're messages have been this on going and constant positive current that has pulled me through many challenging times. I can't fully express my gratitude in words, but please know I am so thankful for your posts and well wishes. I have been humbled by the support I have received here on VST!!!

I hope your journey has been amazing!! I would love to hear how your doing!!!

Wishing you the Best!!

Respectfully,

Sannah

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
