Ok..So I had my first post op appt today...with both the surgeon & nutritionist....I am officailly down 21lbs ....and they have a goal of another 15lbs more by the end of the month...we'll see how that goes...Everything seems to be going well...i just have one incision site that is a real pain in the but and hurts..Dr says there is fluid buildup under it and to just keep an eye on it...my other opiton was having him open it back up in the office today to drain it..NOOOOO thank YOU!!!

So I'm allowed to move onto full liquids for another 2 weeks then a week of pureed before I go see him again...I'm scared though...Just have to get my mind straight and keep on trucking...I think I'll try a bit of homemade egg drop soup for din din and see how that goes....

Hi all...so I was in so much pain I rushed to the ER last Monday ...Dr Noyan admitted me and decidd to do the revision a week early. So I had it done on June 24th...the day before my birthday..HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME...no seriously...I was just so very glad to get rid of the pain. The surgery took a little longer than expected...but all went well. I guess he found a bunch of ulcers and he actually had to remove a portion of my pouch.
I was released on Sunday and have been home sipping my clear liquids ever since...sip sip sip right...I got on the scale and as of today I am officially 14lb down from the 277 I was when I was admittted...I'm trying not to get too excited...I'm just taking it in stride. I am sore...actually VERY sore...even more than I remember from the first time around...but that is ok...I'm still trying to take my walks as much as possible....

I go for my first follow up next Tuesday...so I'll keep ya posted

So My oldest graduated 6th grade today...Ive never been so proud...I swear it just feels like yesturday that I brought her home wrapped in a blue fuzzy blanket...yes I said blue...We were told she was boy...and out she came..full head of hair...pink rosey cheeks...and she stole my heart....So even though mommy isnt well...  I pulled myself into her school and wached as my little girl crossed the stage on her way to middle school...

Ok, so I feel like I am about to die...and boy do I ever mean it!!!! I started out on this revision journey about 18 months ago. Recently however, something else has reared its ugly head. I have such horrid pain in my tummy I don't know what to do. It used to be just when I ate solids. Now, It feels I'm standing infront of target practice at the local police department.  I have gone to Dr Noyan. He rushed my Revision paperwork thru Aetna...and today I get the call...I'm APPROVED. Under normal circumsatnces i would do a happy dance. However, right now I will just settle for the shooting pain and uncontrollable need to use the bathroom to go away!!!! So I am scheduled for July 1st...IF I say IF I can make it that long before jumping off a cliff to get rid of the pain... (JUST KIDDING) please dont take that litterally I am NOT suicidal...just a girl in pain....LOTS of Pain.....I'll keep you posted ....
