My initial journey started Aug 3, 2011.. when I went in for a revision from a Vertical Band Gastroplasty to a Roux en Y.
A roller coaster ride from h3ll.. started there & even today I'm left with residual effects from post op infections that left me in hospital for 2months + 1 day & on 90 days of antibiotics via iv.
During the whole ordeal I lost 70lbs in the 2 month hospital stay.. but 45lbs have come back.. thank goodness.. to be honest!

I'm happy to say.. I am on the right side of the grass & hopefully back on the right track.

I won't go into gory detail of my ordeal & in no way blame the procedure for the h3ll I went thru.. it truly changed my life in a good way. Prior to the revision I couldn't eat due to a botched VBG.. I can now eat & live a good life..
Post op I was riddled with pain that lead to a fibromyalgia diagnosis.. but I faught tooth & nail to get treated for a systemic yeast infection, that I felt was brought on by all the post op antibiotics.
The treatment has helped & my pain is seriously decreased.. I'm actually getting back to life & living. The pain was ridiculous & left me pretty much helpless.. but I won & will continue to win.

Sorry.. i tend to ramble..
I suppose I should also tell you I'm bipolar.. so that can be pretty normal for me.. hahaha you've been warned.

Thanks for being here with me.. on my journey!
Friend me if you wish!
