Guest guest Posted March 7, 2000 Report Share Posted March 7, 2000 Oh Sharon, I am so sorry you've had so much trouble. But it looks like you managed not having to be readmitted again to the hospital like you feared. Just rest, and take care of you. I will keep your number and have you in mind when I do phone contacts. Thank you for being so generous and offering your experience to the rest of us. <<HUGS>> fg At 11:44 PM 03/07/2000 -0800, you wrote: > > > hi everyone, haven't posted for a while.

I am 10 weeks post-op and have lost 52lbs. I think a lot of that has to do with the pneumonia. I haven't felt the same since. I have a very hard time eating and drinking. I pray it will get better soon. I want to feel like most of the post- >ops and feel good and eat and enjoy eating. I have seen many post about wanting people to contact. for their 10 contacts. I would be glad to talk to anyone that would like to call. My story is a little different from most, but I think everyone needs to hear all sides. Please feel free to call. I am home most days and nights. My phone Number is 9192845485 and my name is Sharon Atkinson and I live near Wendell N.C. > looking forward to talking to anyone outré there Sharon > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 26, 2000 Report Share Posted March 26, 2000 So glad to see you doing well!!! I am not post op, but have heard from other WLS pts that if you eat meats, it is very important to chew your food well. fg At 04:39 PM 03/26/2000 -0000, you wrote: >From: gankomah@... > >My name is Gloria, I am about 2 weeks post-op.

Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Tell your son it will get better next week specially when he goes back to the doctor and weighs in. He is going to feel great and.... about drinking, it will also get better . I had a hard time drinking water but now, I'm able to drink much more. He just has to learn how to do it. It will get better with time. Good Luck!! > Hi All, > My name is Debbi, and I'm new to the group. My son, Philip, who will > be 17 yrs old in June, had the bypass surgery last Monday 2/23.
