Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  **there's No Place Like Home** HI EVERYONE FINALLY IM HOME! THANK YOU GUYS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT THRU THIS VERY DIFFICULT ORDEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM SO GLAD LISA WAS ABLE TO KEEP YOU GUYS POSTED THRU THIS ALL. I THANK HER ALSO SO MUCH. I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU GUYS AND EVEN ASKED LISA HOW EVERYONE WAS DOING WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL ESPECIALLY ALL THE NEW POST-OPS. (who had the surgery couple days after me and still ended up home b4 me, lol) I HAVE TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST CHALLENGING THING I HAVE BEEN THRU!!!! NOT ONLY VERY PAINFUL BUT SOOOOOOOOOOO SCARY! I HAD 2 DRAINS INSIDE ME. THE DAY I LEFT THE HOSPITAL I HAD THE JP DRAIN TAKEN OUT OF ME (ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ) BUT STILL HAVE THE ONE THEY INSERTED IN ME FOR DRAINAGE OF THE ABSESS. GOD I CANT WAIT TILL THIS ONE COMES OUT WHICH WONT BE TILL WED. UGGGHH . IM SO SICK OF BEING SICK! OF COURSE IM STILL SCARED!!! I HAVE AN OTHER CT SCAN AND THEN GO TO SEE THE DOC ON WED. IM JUST SCARED CAUSE I FEEL LIKE I MIGHT STILL GET BAD NEWS OR SOMTHING. MAYBE IM PARANOID I DONT KNOW.IM STILL ON THE HOSPITAL LIQUID DIET; BROTH, JUICE MIXED WITH WATER AND PROTEIN SHOT. SATURDAY I WILL START THE NEXT STAGE; CREAM OF WHEAT, YOGURT ETC. I GUESS WE ARE TAKING IT EXTRA SLOW. BUT I AM LUCKY ENOUGH THAT I TOLERATE EVERYTHING I EAT AND DRINK WITH NO PROB. INFACT WHEN MY HUSBAND COOKS DINNER FOR EVERYONE IM LIKE MMMM THAT SMELLLS GOOD  . INFACT IM A LITTLE HUNGRY RIGHT NOW. UHH OHHH !!!!! WHY IS THAT!?!?!?!WHILE I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL THEY GIVE 1 oz OF PRO STAT (plain flavor) WHICH HAS 15 GRAMS OF PROTEIN IN THAT LITTLE SHOT. WELL I DONT THINK THEY TASTE BAD AT ALL INFACT I ASKED THE HOSPITAL IF I COULD BUT A BOTTLE FROM THEM TILL I GET MY OWN (which you can only buy online). SO NOW I DONT HAVE TO BE STRESSED WITH DRINKING A TALL GLASS OF A PROTEIN DRINK WHICH CONTAINS THE SAME AMOUNT OF PROTEIN THAT I CAN GET IN A LITTLE SHOT. SO BECAUSE ITS SUCH A LITTLE AMOUNT TO CONSUME AT ONE TIME, TODAY I CONSUMED 90oz OF PROTEIN NOT INCLUDING THE LITTLE BIT OF PROTEIN THAT IS IN BROTHS. I TOOK A SHOT OF PROSTAT EVERY FEW HOURS AND HAD SOME BROTH TODAY WITH JUICE AND WATER. AGAIN MUCH EASIER THAN TRYING TO CHUG A TALL GLASS OF PROTEIN DRINK WHICH WILL TAKE UP ALOT OF TIME AND LEAVE A LITTLE AMOUNT TO GET MORE PROTEIN IN DURING THE DAY. THESE SHOTS OF PROTEIN ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WILL USE THEM FOREVER NOW, WITH EACH MEAL NO MATTER WHAT STAGE IM IN. I WILL TRY MY HARDEST TO PLAY CATCH UP BUT FROM ALL THE POSTS IVE SEEN ON THIS BOARD THERE IS NO WAY IM GOING TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER EACH THREAD. SO TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, CONCERNS, GOOD NEWS, WOOS, ETC I MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO GET TO YOUR THREAD BUT IM HERE FOR YOU. AS OF RIGHT NOW IM CLEARING ALL THE NEW POSTS AND STARTING FRESH. ONCE AGAIN I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK GOD I HAD YOU THRU THIS TIME.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator | If you don't have a leak, the goop from your abcess doesn't have a route to come out. That's why you need the drain. All the pus has to come out from the spot where the pus collected to form the abcess, so it can close up and heal completely. Yes, it's uncomfortable, but it is the quickest way of healing the abcess, next to opening you up and removing the abcess surgically, which I know you'd absolutely hate so hang in there. (((((((HUGS))))))))
