in Introduce Yourself
My weight loss journey start with me yo -yo dieting for years. In 2010 I decided to have gastric bypass surgery. I had my surgery in February 2010, and 1 week later I was readmitted in the hospital for a leak, abscess and pneumonia and fluid around my spleen. . I was in the hospital for 12 days. I had a stent put in for 4 weeks while the leak healed since they couldn't go back in because I was 1 week out. I was put on TPN for 1 month and only had liquids. I was out of work for 2 months instead of 4 weeks. While I was in the hospital and getting all the Ct scans and other things they found I had a large mass on my ovaries. Once discharged I was referred to my OB/GYN doctor who ordered a pelvic ultrasound which also showed the large mass and the radiologist thought it was cancerous. Mind you I found out these results the day before I was to return to work. I was referred to a GYN oncologist who scheduled me for yet another surgery. She reassured me and was confident that because of my age that this was probably benign. I had surgery on 6-14-2010 and they removed 1 ovary and 1 fallopian tube so I will still be able to have kids. YAY!!! The tumor was also benign. I was out of work again for 6 weeks, but through it all GOD has been on my side.I have been through a lot but thankful for all the events that happened I feel so good. I am down 155 pounds and counting looking great and feeling great. I am looking for new friends & more support. You can never have to much support.
