I'm sending prayers your way. I can't imagine what you must be going through. I have my surgery consult this Thursday and even though it scares me to death after reading about your experience I know I will make it through...just as you will. Stay strong and remember why you are doing this in the first place.

asifitsthelast - It's obviously a slow process, but you will get there. Think about what you have already endured. You're on your way now!

Asifitsthelast....how are you? Hoping you are on the road to recovery.

:-0 I am almost speechless at this. How are you doing? I really hope this is getting better for you. Thank you for posting your experience and keep on keeping on it HAS to get better.

This photo was taken 2-2. Not trying to gross anyone out I just feel people should see this. I have yet to have a day with out pain. My wound has to stay open and heal from the inside out.

This is not commen! So dont freak out....hard to say right. At this point yes I have lost weight. I never had a true addiction to food. I've just been big my whole life. I dont miss food. I'm never hungry. I'm just out of work way longer than expected.

I will update my profile here soon people. I even have all my costs lol. Anthems website lists everything. I have so much o need to pick a day I have patience.

Yes. Very slowly though bc the wound is so deep. But all the nurses that come to repack me always say it looks meaty lol. Apparently its good that the inside of the hole looks like a fresh cut of meat

Yes it looks good, it's better to heal from inside out. Get well soon okay, keeping you in my thoughts! Keep us posted on your progress.
