Lacking Patience

Jean Barker · 08-18-2006, 12:09 PM

Hi,

I had bypass surgery the 2nd of August. During the surgery, totally unexpected by me, the doctor also found two hernias and a fatty mass that had been sitting on my blader. It's funny; for the last six plus years I complained about severe stomach cramps and pains, and always having to wear a pad. I was told that it was becasue of scar tissue from repeated c-sections, and the fact that I was fat. As of the day of surgery, I no longer have to wear a pad. The hernia opertions are causing discomfort that would generally not be felt if I was just recovering from the bypass surgery.

I am doing well I think. I did not expect to feel quite this "punky"

once I started the stage 3 eating regime. I guess that's why I just joined this chat group. I need some feedback from others who have gone through this.

Hope your surgery went well! I've lost 36pds since surgery!
