some good news! I am actually feeling a little better today! ya for me.... I still have the pneumonia but that something I am going to have to fight for a couple of weeks. The weight is going down, and yesterday I actually drank 6 glasses of liquid. and had 4 table spoons of soup. (after eating the soup I started to get the hot flash like I was going to vomit) but I didn't!.

Thank you to everyone who has been sending their well wishes privately and on my message board. Hugs to all of you.

I hope u get better soon, that sounds awful.

Ok for the last 6 days I have been back and forth into the hospital here in Canada. I have a superbug infection in two of my incisions and pneumonia. If I was in the USA this would have cost me well over $6K now in costs as I have also had to do a CT scan. I am one very sick little person right now. I don't have any energy I am highly dehydrated and really struggling with was this the right decision to change to MI Hospital over Jersulem.

Well its been 5 days since my surgery and things haven't gotten any better! I keep getting these contraction pains, but I don't have gas. I flew home on Friday early and went directly to our local hospital, as I was in so much pain. The results of a CT scan showed the surgery looks great but I have fluid in my left lung. So now I am on IV therapy for the next five days to try and eliminate the issue. My incisions are ok, one is slightly infected but I bought some stuff for them today. My doctor subscribed some pain meds as the ones that Dr. Ortiz office gave to me weren't even pain meds but instead anti inflammatory drugs.

IF any one else has had these mystery contractions what did you do to get rid of them.

I have only eaten once a day right now and barely able to drink.

HELP sleevers I need some advice please....

Well I must say it isn't a walk in the park. I've obviously haven't walked enough because I feel like crap. The first day great the second day. Hell the third day.... When is it going to be over. I can't wait to get back home to my recliner and bed Hugs everyone

Thank you everyone for the well wishes, in just 8 hours I will be on my way to Tijuana and my Journey begins....
