Sannah,

I know exactly how you feel, i was sleeved Nov 28 and I have a 14mo old and felt so helpless! All he wanted was for me to do everything with him, I felt so guilty. But now my Dr. cleared me and I can pick him up, cuddle and play with him. It's all worth it. So far i have lost 25lbs since my surgery. Good luck!!!

It's funny that you say that bc I look now how I always looked growing up until I got pregnant at 19, then again at 20, but still was only about 40 pounds overweight until I had my son and dilated cardiomyopathy in 2009 and the swelled up like a balloon. I am not pregnant in that first picture but everyone thinks I am. It's great to look like me again.

Hello,

Not sure where I left off. But I was re-admitted to hospital for Fluid on my heart and severe dehydration. The two stents are making it hard to consume anything and keep it down.

My heat is healing. The cardiologist did a lot of testing and is confident my heart was/is inflamed due to surgery.

I am just getting settled in back home.

I have been trying remain positive, but have times When I just cry.

I am on a twenty day countdown until the 25th On this day I will get my stents REMOVED or REPLACED!! What a nightmare if they have to be replaced.

I hope all is clear because the anti nausea is making my vision very blurry.

Thank you for all the heartfelt words. You guys lift me up!! Thanks you SO much.

Best,

Sannah

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
