Hello to all my friends. I just wanted to share my joy everyone. I woke up this morning and weighed to find I am down 4 more pounds. That is 64 since February 21st. I had not been real pleased with the 3 pounds I'd been playing with for the last few weeks. God Bless you all and Good Luck to all who is having surgery this week. I've been trying hard to leave you guys a prayer on your page. Love to all. :o)

Hello to everyone. It's really been a long time since I have posted to the site, although I read it almost everyday. I wanted to share my experience with everyone today. I haven't updated my profile since surgery due to the fact that it's been a long road to recovery but everyday gets better. After reading my story if you ask would I have this surgery again I would have to honestly tell you YES I would.<p> I had open RNY February 21st and have done wonderful with the actual bypass. I did however, some of you may remember, that I had to come home with an open wound due to infection. My wonderful husband had to pack the wound twice a day. Lord knows that man has a stomach of steel. LOL On March 17th I had to have another procedure so Dr. Isbell could partially close the wound. In which since then I have been healing wonderfully. The rest of the incision has almost closed. I have had other surgeries and due to that fact I had another scar located next to where Dr. Isbell had to open me with my RNY which made the scars so close together that I had a poor blood supply in between the incision and the previous surgery and that's how the infection got started.<p> Then, on March 22nd I was hospitalized for another 12 days with pneumonia and a pulmonary embolism. That was the scariest thing I think I have ever had to face. I had to have the fluid drawn off my lungs and that wasn't very fun. I am just so thankful for Dr. Isbell's medical ability to act quickly and save my life. I first thank God for his healing hands. If not for that I would not be here today.<p> I want to add that I am down 50 pounds and have not experienced any vomiting. I can eat almost anything I want. I have not however tried sugar or any sweets. That's what got me this way in the first place.<p> Hello to everyone and have a wonderful day. I just thank God I am able to spend a few minutes with my friends here on AMOS. Love you all.

Hi Beverly- I went through the same thing with an open incision & packing. It DOES heal- and the better your protein intake, the faster! Check out my profile. You have my best wishes and prayers. Remember, if this is your most serious complication, you're doing great. This is just a bump in the road.
