Bariatric Update

Jul 17, 2015 20:21

As most of my longterm pals here on the Cliffs know, I underwent a Rouxen-Y gastric bypass operation on 22 March, 2004. For any newbies thinking of having the surgery or scoffing at me, thinking I took the easy route out, do not delude yourself that any part of it is a breeze. You have to go into it with the mindset that anything can go wrong, from ( Read more... )

In the time I have gotten to know you, I really consider you a good friend, and I for one, want you around for as long as possible.

That is so incredibly sweet of you to say.

You're welcome! You also have a lot of strength!

I spent basically five years on the maximum dose of prednisone and gained every ounce I lost back. Then I moved to the UK. And well, it's been a shitty few years, health-wise. I've been on b12 injections since 2003, but I no longer have to take 2ccs every two weeks, I do 1cc every 10 weeks now, and I do them at home. I've spent two years on Vita D injections, trying to get to a normal level, and after two years, they've finally taken me off iron tablets, I'm no longer iron depleted. GBS is fucking hard. HARD. My seizures stopped when they were able to get all my vitamin deficiencies in check, I hope the same happens for you ( ... )

I actually thought about tagging you on this, because I was curious about your viewpoint and where you are on the health spectrum at the moment, but I decided not to, because I didn't want to intentionally stress you out, considering all the bullshit you've gone through. I've played around with the idea of having no regrets since day one, but I have to admit my motives have changed. If I live, I'll live a better life without these blobs that don't even have normal feeling to them. I think the fat has crowded out the nerves. If I die, I won't give one single fuck, 'cos I'll finally be able to stop thinking, and thinking some more, and then rethinking. Since 2011, I've wanted to be oblivious to everything. I wanted to stop feeling, no matter what it took. I've realised that the only way to stop the looping memory film in your head, is for you to die. Nuke me from orbit! It's the only way to be sure ( ... )

I am so thankful you are well enough to have the surgery and thankful you found a dr. to do it. also glad you have insurance enough to cover he cost. Yay. Sorry for all the getting lost and stuff. it has been hell on earth here. pure d hell. we will compare notes one day. i have stopped eating again. can't is a better word. shadow has crossed over. she was threatened. chained up while i was gone and used for target practice; she had a heart attack. i want to die. just writing that is enough to make me die.

Holy Hell! tinhuviel July 19 2015, 21:03:50 UTC

Do you know who did that to her? If so, are you pressing charges? That's some fucked-up shit. Do you have any other dogs? When will your house be ready?

b_bopper55 July 19 2015, 23:23:52 UTC

yes, I know who did it. pressing charges is a joke here in good ole boy country. things have already begun in extracting what needs to be done. believe you me. Yes.
