Now as for what Dan found I will explain it best I can, and most who know me are aware that I am , if not anything, pretty straight forward, even if it makes me look a little strange or stupid.
I am overweight, anyone who seen me knows this, my battle with my weight is slowly killing me, I have no discipline to stop eating or excersising, sad I know, stupid also, but it is the cold hard truth.
So I found this site and decided to see what happens and filled out my info, and the amount needed for me to have Gastric Sleeve and also Belly-Button Hernia Surgery, yes in Mexico both can be had for about 6,500.00 , and I added a 1,000.00 for incidentals, but as you all can see I raised NO MONEY, not one single dime, I saw it as God's way of telling me to lose it the weight the hard way, which so far I have been unable to do.
But I was not ever hospitalized with any major issue here, it was an attempt to get money for Surgery in the future , If the money was raised, in reality it was like my dream of hitting the KY. Derby Superfecta one day, most likely never happen.
If anyone still does not understand , please PM me, but I think it was a simple explanation, sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
As for an update, I will try to explain it without too many medical terms, but let's say I still have 2, when it looked like I may have been left with only 1, and still that may happen, think that makes it clear the area of concern, and it spread some , but I am unsure of if it was contained, and my current condition, has me seeking a 2nd opinion down here in Florida, and thanks to you guys, I should be able to get one, as I am still in much pain and to me not actually getting better, but slightly getting worse, details... just trust me, what is happening , should be happening in reverse,( less swelling , hardening, and pain), it is like it is starting over again, yet I was told this would happen, But...I thought healing would be less pain, less swelling , etc.., so I am confused and will seek 2nd opinion.
As for all the other issues in my life, let's keep that out of this, if you want to know, PM me , I can update you, but for those who know me it is basically the same old story, I always seem to stand up and then somehow I fall down and have to start all over again and again, so nothing new there.
AGAIN MANY DEEP HEART FELT THANKS TO YOU ALL
Patrick
