Journal Entry for March 26, 2008 Mood
Wednesday, March 26, 2008

I am approximately 10 months out from my GBS. I have had some rough times, but I am doing better. I am pleased with the GBS and would make the same decision of having it done again. My last surgery was on March 19th to take my gall bladder out which should have been done in the beginning. I chose a surgeon that I found out later is what the surgeons call a surgery factory surgeon. I ended up going to the surgeon my mom used and he is very nice and has very goog bed side manners. Instead of doing 20 surgeries a week he might do 4 he is the one who did my gall bladder surgery. I have talked to him about doing a tummy tuck and he said I did need one because of getting a rash and irritated where the skin hangs and laps over, but he told me the insurance companys are starting to pay for this. I know I have had alot of abdominal surgeries and this would probably be the last one for me. My husband asked me if he could take some of the fat in put it in my breasts and I told him I wished, it seems like I cannot find a bra that fits now. Its like I have to roll them up like a jelly roll and then put them in my bra. I hope I can get something done with them to I want to start doing exercises but I have to wait til I heal more from the gall bladder surgery which the dr said won't be until about April 7th when I go back to see him.

I am down to about 125. I do not weigh everyday which is bad if you do because if you don't lose you get all upset and it is for nothing so I try to weigh about weekly.
