thanks for checking in..

i feel pretty good. i'm scared of abcesses. i still have the hole, i'm on a tube feed so i'm not eating or drinking. but i do take ice a few times a day and my medications. even saliva worries me. on friday i get a clip and i hope so bad it works. i want to eat and drink so bad. iced tea especially (homeade with lemon and a bit of honey)... gahhhh!

well today was my clip day! it took them an hour, i was on versed and fentanyl so it felt like 15 minutes and i have a bad headache and threw up after. but they got the clip on there! can't eat or drink yet till dr. gives me the okay (and i go for a test to make sure i'm healed). im so grateful that the procedure was done now lets just hope it heals!!!

Ana! This is such hopeful news. I pray it heals well and you can move on from this! Thanks for keeping us updated!

Great news Ana, now work that clip girl, I know it will work for you and it will be all uphill from now on! I have you in my thoughts, and I am always happy to read good news from you!!!

Finally Ana. I am thrilled that they got the clamp in. It definitely will seal the leak and soon you will be on your way. Follow instructions Ana. I know you have a problem with that but I think you have turned a corner on this and all is on its way. you know where I am if you need me further.

[AnaBanana 63]

i think it's going to work too.

i was pretty sick yesterday after the procedure. i vomited a few times, i hope that doesn't mess with the clip. i vomited bile too yuck. it's so sour. that was just the one time. this morning i woke up and vomited dark greenish bile. i hope this is just trauma from the endoscopy.

oh i will follow instructions. i can't eat or drink till the doctor okays it. i'm all for that.

has anyone heard from freespirit63?

[sleevethefatbehind 95]

No, but I just messaged her to let her know people are wondering how she's doing. I'd be curious to know, too.

Anna you sound more positive than you have in the past - that's great to hear. Sounds like this is going to be the answer you need. Keep us posted!!

Thank you for thinking of me. Anna hang in there. My team of doctors told me I was going to have my spleen removed and my stomach. I had a drain for my abcsess and a feeding tube through my nose. I was told this.month Iwould have surgery. Head oof the dr team said when henconsulted with bariatric surgeons they told him good luck with this case because it was so unusual. The leak was right at oseophugus. There was a fistula between spleen and stomach leak which means they were feeding off each other which would make it difficult to heal for one or the other. So my abcsess shrunk, fistula is gone and my Drain was removed. By miracle of God my leak was healed andnthat was just on Friday. My nose feed tube was supposed come oit monday but it was bothering me for the past 2nd weeks so bad. Yesterday I started gagging. Went to emerge and its out. Yesterday was my birthday and it was the best gift ever.

With that said it was a bumpy road. My stomach and maybe my spleen are staying put.

Anna I thought for sure my destiny was to have RNY to fix this problem and here I am. Please hang in there. Trust the process.

I am so happy things are starting to settle down for you and you are beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I remember that feeling well.

Some of us pay a huge price for our eventual goal to health. But for me and most others it was worth the fight. I find I am a different person because of what happened to me and because I fought so hard to keep it and stay alive. I think I appreciate the sleeve more then if I had had an easy breezy recovery.....
