(this is my first after photo) 1 mo.
Ok OK I know it's been too long since my last post. I had surgery 5/6/09 and everything went well for the first 24 hrs. I developed pneumonia and an A flutter with my heart. My heart rate was 152 for several hours. They moved me to critical care and tried medicine to bring my heart rate back down but it didn't work. Luck me... sooooo they decided to do a cardio version. For those of you not familiar. It's like you see on TV with the paddles and charged and everyone yells CLEAR and they proceed to shock the everlivin shit out of you. The doc made sure I was completely asleep so I wouldn't remember anything. Which was greatly appreciated since several doctors told me it is not a pleasant experience.Here are the numbers:
My heavest was 383
The day of surgery I weighed in at 345.1
After 6 days in the hospital I checked in with my doc 3 days after I was released so 9 days post-op I had gained 16 lbs. - FLUID-
Two week check up I was down 36 lbs.
And one month check up I was down 51 lbs. since my surgery date.
I'm feeling real good, still tired and weak, but went back to work today. Trying to get back in the groove of things.
And I promise as soon as I figure out how to get the pics off my computer at home and onto this one I will post before and after pics.
