My road wasn't so easy

Hey everyone just wanted to share a little bit of what happened with my gastric bypass surgery I had my surgery on 11/7 and had to have another one on 11/8 and stayed in ICU 4 days after yes that's right ICU and had to have two tubes put in me to drain the fluid's out of my stomach stayed in the hospital for another 5 days

Now am still recovering just got the last two removed 12/7

I am getting more energy every day and every day is better day and I'm just grateful that I am here to tell my story at first I wasn't feeling that I made the right decision but now since I am healing and feeling better it's okay it's okay I should be returning back to work in another week and a half so it's okay

Hope you to continue to stay strong and healthy.

If you don't mind my asking, what happened that you had to have a second surgery the next day?

Bless you! Glad you are starting to feel better.

Birdie bird, you sound great after having two surgeries. I pray you will continue to recover quickly.

Oh, wow! I'm glad they caught it and fixed it quickly. That could've been bad.
