So I went back to the doctor today for a check up to see if the antibiotics were working and if the tenderness had gone down (it was a rough night). Well the doctor said no and that he needed to drain it right then and there stating that I had an abscess underneath. Once drained he took a culture of it thinking it may be staph (this was the incision site he pulled the stomach out of) and said that piece of my stomach could have had a bacteria on it that led to this infection. I have to continuously change the dressing as he put a drain in to help with it still and go back Monday. I feel like we know our bodies and we need to listen to them. I’ve been talking to them since Monday about this because I knew something wasn’t right. I also feel like everything happens to me and I can’t catch a break 🤦🏼‍♀️





Oh my! You really have had it rough! Happy thoughts coming your way. Please keep us informed of what happens.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
