Checking in

[Redmaxx 740]

Hello everyone. It has been a while since I have been on here. Just wanted to check in an let everyone know what's going on. First things first, we found out we are going to be first time grandparents. We are very excited. Next, I blew the engine on my brand new 2018 Jeep Compass. I am fighting with FCA about trying to get rid of it. My dad was sent home with Hospice (he lives in Texas and I live in Michigan). Then on Friday (7 Sept 2018) one of the guys I work with rushed me to the emergency room. Turns out I had a blocked bowel. Scar tissue had formed and blocked the bowel. Luckily they caught it in time and the bowel did not die. They had to fillet me like a fish and I have about 30 staples holding my guts in. I am very sore and on a liquid diet. I guess it is a known complication but not a common one. Who would have thought that I would have a complication almost 2 years after my RNY. Very happy to be on the mend.

Did the jeep have one of the Tigershark engines? FCA knows those engines can be hit or miss, ESP if there is an oil blockage for the hydraulic lifters/timing.

Sucks about everything man, but glad you are getting through it!

Well yesterday (1 Oct 2018) was my first day back to work. I was very tired last night when I got home and a little sore. I am supposed to take it easy at work for the next 4 weeks and I know that I over did it yesterday. Overall I am doing great (still don't have a huge appetite) and I go back for my 2 year post bariatric surgery check up on the 24th. I am still grateful to my surgeon for giving me this tool to help me lose the weight. The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner.

Just over a month since the emergency surgery. The incision is still a little sore but overall I am doing great. I got sick early this morning, I was freezing (my bed was wet from all the sweating) and I ended up in the bathroom 3 times. I finally got what ever it was out of me and I was able to get about 30 minutes sleep before I had to get ready for work. I will definitely be going to bed early tonight.

UPDATE: Today I am finally feeling better, but I still really don't have an appetite to speak of. I see my surgeon for my two year check up and if things don't get better I will talk to him.
