He was so pleased and I am thrilled beyond words. I am so thankful for this gift of surgery.
The only bad thing in this is that I have started to bruise... I never did before but the last two weeks it has gotten bad. Blood work was drawn yesterday so hopefully we can make it stop.

Way to go gina!!!!! you are in the zone. Can you taste the success???
Regarding the bruising, my bariatric vitamin actually has Vit K in it. A deficiency in that causes clotting abnormalities. If that is what it turns out to be I use the baribest MVI from wlsvitamins.com. It comes in easy to swallow capsule and chewable. Just a suggestion that works for me. Pretty reasonably priced considering the huge amounts that are specific for the bariatric patient in each pill for I think $16-20 for a three month supply,
Great going again!!!
