Update: they moved my tube deeper yesterday and it caused my body to have a fit. It's not like the sob was gentle either. So slight fever last night and white blood cell count jumped to 13 but going down. Normal range is under 10. Looks like one more day. I just want to be home. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. Please pray I have no issues tonight so I can go home. Today is day 10.

Geez Frisco, that's AWFUL!!! Are you pleased with your care, or do you think it was less than competent?

You still did the right thing. I figure -- for me personally -- it was a choice between the risk of a quick death under the knife, or a slow death under the fat.

Hope you're still HOPEFUL!!

The care is fine just tired of the f'ing place. I miss my family and home

I got home yesterday at 3pm. At 7:30 Feeding pump was delivered and setup that runs while I sleep. Was taught by the nurse on how to hang my iv, spike the bag, change lines and how to flush my picc and basically said I was on my own but can call the 24 on call line if needed. 3 weeks of this and I'm hoping it goes by fast. It is a God send to be home. So if this is what it takes to be home, so be it. I keep telling myself this is only temporary. The silver lining is that I have lost 27 lbs in 12 days. Trying to stay hydrated as much as possible is hard. I basically add 4 ounces of Water into my tube periodically to reach 28 oz of water in top of flushes and putting in 4 oz of Protein 4 times a day....and flushing after that too so the line doesn't clog. I did have two jp drains and one was removed. I hope to have the other taken out at next week's appt. Its like grown with me so I know it's gonna hurt when its removed. Oh to be able to sleep on my side again.

Well I've been home for a week. Tube was kinked abd had it adjusted yesterday. I've started throwing up saliva. Looks like it is from build up of stomach acid. Doc just called in some meds for me just now to help with nausea and the acid. Two more weeks on the tube but I requested a scan leak test for next week in hopes I can get this tube out. I've had it since 11/8. Just take it day by day and glad to be home. Don't want to go back to the hospital.

Poor Frisco!!! Please dont be too discouraged, if you can. This will heal, and things WILL improve. Do you have a support system to visit you, help with chores, etc? Thinking of you!

So sorry to hear this happened to you. I had a minor complication after my recent surgery and felt scared. I can't imagine how you r feeling. Today I am very thankful that things are in the right path for me and I pray things keep moving in a positive direction for you. Best wishes.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
