back to hospital!

Last night I was counting the hours till daylight to rush to ER. I couldn't close my eyes for 2 minutes without feeling stabbed. I truly wished I'm dead. So, in the morning I called my doc and told him about my unbearable pain. Plus, I was having a mildly high fever so he urged me to run to the emergency. So I did. And they scanned my belly and analysed my blood. And they discovered I having a small leak on my sleeve!!!!! 2 days ago I was at my doc's and everything appeared excellent. Now I'm back to case1. I'm gonna have to stay hospitalised for 1 week! But the treatement is through iv and antibiotics. No more surgeries according to my doc. I'm soooo down. What shall I do with my kids in the meantime???

Sending you well wishes and praying for a speedy recovery!! Rest now and update us when you can. So glad someone is there to take care of your children.

Sssoooo happy you are healed. You've lost well! Im hoping that you can feel its all worth it in the end. Continued prayers!

Sending a prayer for you!!

I’m so glad to hear that you are on your way to healing. I’m sorry for any negativity you received from people too. This is a hard decision to make and you have to go into eyes wide open. It is a surgery and there are inherent risks. You are cutting out a large portion of a vital organ. It won’t always be butterflies and rainbows. It’s hard. It can be risky. If someone says anything bad to you because your story isn’t all sunshine, then they are likely being closed minded and not seeing the big picture they need to take into consideration. I searched and searched and saw plenty of statistics that were clear that there is a chance of complications.

I’m proud of you for telling your story. I wish you nothing but the best, continued healing and getting back to a peaceful place for you and your family.

So glad to see u r doing better. :). And sorry for negative people , it is important for others to hear all your story and iggy. Cuz things don't always go as planned :(.

So glad you are doing better--wishing you all the best.

Today my stent has been finally removed...What a journey! I've been to hell and back. The doc said I am officially healed but I still have to be aware of what I m eating for a while. Here s a quick sum up:

Operated on april 3rd.

Rushed to ER on april 13th

Stented on april 16th' date=' 1 month at hospital.

So, my leak took like 3 month to close up.

I have a little delay in my weight loss due to hospitalisation and feeding.

Starting weight 231.50 lbs. Today 174 lbs. 57 lbs lost. And it s been a week I m on the slow path.

After all you been through do you regret it? Sorry I just had to ask I still haven't had my surgery. I'm glad you are doing better and continue to get better. Good luck!!!
