Glad to hear your doing better!!! I'm doing fabulous!!! Ive lost about 40lbs since surgery and 17.5 inches. Just joined the gym today so I can work on strength training and toning. Hoping 2014 is an awesome year for both of us!

Just wanted to say Hi! and see how your doing?

I spoke with an attorney and because the surgical specialist I went too would not confirm or deny anything was done wrong it would be hard to get an attorney to take the case. I just don't have the energy to deal with it at this point. I am getting better but it is taking a lot longer than I thought it would.

Can you sue him for negligence? He removed your stomach correct? There has to be a lawsuit there. At the very least I would speak to a malpractice attourney. Hope your scan goes well. I will continue to pray for you!

Oh thank god you're doing better! I know I don't know you but I've been so worried about you!!! Have you spoken to your surgeon & asked him what the f happened? I hope you get some answers at least! I pray for you every night that you're healing & doing well. Take care & please keep me posted.

Dee, Reading your posts have moved me to tears for you. You are in my thoughts and prayers! I hope you're doing better!

How are you doing this week? Lori from TN

Hello,

I've been reading your blog and praying for you this morning. I'm from Knoxville, TN and had my gastric sleeve on Aug 14th.

I'm messaging because as I was reading through your posts I was thinking that if it is at all possible, one of the top bariatric centers in the US is here in Knoxville.

I don't about your insurance, but I think that the New Life Bariatric Surgery center is among the top ten. Dr. Boyce is a top bariatric surgeon and his partner, Dr. Williams did my surgery. Their telephone number is 865-694-9676. Their website is Bariatric Weight Loss Gastric Bypass Surgery Knoxville East Tennessee (TN) New Life Center

I've also heard that Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville is a specialized bariatric center--the surgeons take on complicated cases.

I think that on the New Life Bariatric website their is an email address- I recommend you send an email with a brief description of what is happening and what the tests have shown concerning the surgery.

Thank you- Lori Hunter

Hey there Dee. Read your blog and so sorry to hear that you are having a rough trot currently. Wishing you nly good things.

Dee how are you doing? I hope you are better.....

Hello,
I am new to the site. I also have FIBRO. my pains are most painful in my chest. Can you tell me if, after your surgery did your chest hurt really bad from the fibro and the infamous gas?

Hi, I was just thinking about you. Did you dr apt go well? Are you feeling any better? Sending prayers and hugs!

Hi I just read your post about complications. They are relatively rare so most people won't have experienced them. However if it helps you feel less weird about it, Luke had a haematoma and has come through the other side doing really well. Have a look at his blog. Hope you feel better soon.

Glad your read the message I was worried about you. Every now and again I try a yoghurt that that is firmer and I feel uncomfortable. Wishing all the best.

If you surgery on the 15 you are best on liquids. NO baby food. Rule of thumb, if it will go up a straw or through the gaps of a fork you can have it.
The feelings your having is the back up of food that is not going down. You DO NOT want to put pressure on the staple line. TWO weeks of fluids.
