well hi everyone im finally home after 43 days in the hospital. i had serious complications following my bariatric surgery. the surgery actually went well,
but afterwards i got an infection in the chest. i was put on heavy doses of morphine and antibiotics. i literally dont remember anything from may 27th
until june 14th. during that time ive been told i coded twice and had 2 more emegency surgeries. i have already lost 65 lbs. i started a year ago at around 455
and today im around 339. its been a brutal last month and a half. im pretty much i constant pain. my stomach is still open, there is a wound vacuum in place to shrink all the skin together and close the wound, which should take a month to a month and a half. im pretty bored so if you want to chat call me.
more later

Glad you pulled through. I hope you continue to feel better. I can give you some advice from having several surgeries. Take it Easy! Don't push yourself. You don't want to open your wound back up. Hang in there!

Take Care

Jon,

Glad to hear you are back home! It's was a little scary there for awhile.

When you are feeling up to it, give me a call.

Hang in there and get better!
