Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Hey Y'all, I haven't posted in months. I do pop in and read up on how everyone is doing. I felt I had to write and share with all of you, especially the newbies, how well I am doing these days. I had a horribly painful and depressing problem with my stoma between the pouch and intestine closing up. I couldn't even swallow my own spit. It went on like that for 8 weeks post-op. But, three scope and dilations later I am on my way to good health and happiness. The third time was the charm. I have been pain free and able to eat really well for nearly three months. I've lost 64 lbs since July 21st and am looking forward to being able to exercise. I even bought an adult tricycle. Long story longer, anyone out there who is having set backs, don't give up or be discouraged. Hang in there, listen to good advice, and take it one day at a time. It will get better. I'd post before and after pics, but I am too computer illiterate. Darn it! Hugs, Jony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
