3 months post op.. wow!

[MrsB2007 90]

Surgery was in April 2015. Was horribly nauseous and couldn't stay awake. Couldnt eat anything and barely able to keep Water down. Went back to the dr who then sent me for some scans. The scans showed my stomach was not letting the fluids pass through correctly, and there was scar tissue built up around the end of my stomach. We did another surgery a few weeks later. The surgeon ballooned the stomach open and put botox into the muscles. I woke up and instantly felt 100 x ' s better!!

So.. the fun stuff. I have lost about 72lbs since surgery 3 months ago. I try to stay as active as I can and drink water nonstop daily. Oh... and my hair is now falling out. I take supplements daily. I am meeting the dr at the end of the week to see if he has any other suggestions for me.

I'm going to post a picture for you all to see. The pic on the left was the day or two after I got home from surgery, and the one on the right is from a few nights ago.

Congratulations on your weight loss !! Your face surely looks different.

but how come you end up with scar tissue built up? Did you have surgery before the sleeve ?

[MrsB2007 90]

Never had a surgery on my stomach before.. they said it was a very rare thing that could happen.. something like 1 in 3 people and MAYBE 1 patient per year if that often.. it's a super easy fix and unavoidable. It was just my stomach trying to over heal I guess.

[MrsB2007 90]

I say unavoidable like a bad thing.. I mean it is more like if it is going to happen there's nothing we could have done to prevent it.

Wow, such a dramatic weight loss in so short a period of time, and you look great!

Sorry you had such a rough start though. Way to bounce back!

Thats amazing! Congratulations, stay strong! The potential Hair loss things is really freaking me out- kind of obsessed with my hair...

[MrsB2007 90]

I have tons of hair.... super thick. Go to the hair salon to get it thinned.. so I'm not hurting just yet.. but if it doesn't slow down I may be in trouble soon. I can clean my brush out, then brush my hair half way and then need to clean it out again. It's insane.

Complications happen and I am sorry you went through that even though it was unavoidable. I'm glad it was an "easy" fix.

Congrats on your success and best of luck! Keep us posted!!
