hi.... looking for support

[Guest guest]

i had roux n y 10-12-05 went back into the hospital on the 18th with a

leak and had surg again 10-18-05 at that time they nicked my bowel and

i got sepsis that poisoned all my internal organs... had 3rd surg to

fix that ...was not expected to live... was in medical coma 8 days in

ICU 11days and in hosp 31 days.... now i have been home since

thanksgiving but am experiencing alot of depression... i came home

with 3 tubes including a feeding tube... i am now tube free and have

been eating " real " food for about 3 weeks... everything seems to make

me feel sick when i first try to eat except mashed potatoes... some

soups do ok but i am (of course) craving the way i used to eat... i

have been through so much... i still have a 4 inch open incision in my

abdomin so i cant even exercise yet to help get rid of the blues....

any help or suggestions would be great... i was hoping to find someone

who has been through what i have but i am told most of those people

died... i am rare.... please help
