    So, a follow-up:

    The recovery is going well. I'm still a couple of days away from getting back to "real" food, but the custards, milkshakes, jellies (jello), soups, and other pureed-style foods haven't been too bad - although I am looking forward to a plain ol' burger or a meat pie or even a small kabab.

    The wounds are all healed and the scars aren't too bad (gotta luv those "dueling scars"). I'm also down to around 115kg (250lb) from 140kg (310lb). So things (on this front) are going well.

    The not-so-good news is that I start dialysis on Friday (June 1st). My kidneys took a hit from the surgery (ie the stress, etc) and are now down to 5% functionality. They usually start a patient on diaylsis once they hit 10%, but I was holding steady at 8%-7% for 5 -6 months while I was waiting for the stomach surgery, and as I was feeling OK and not really showing any symptoms, my renal (kidney) specialist was happy to hold off. Now, however, my general health has fallen off the cliff so he simply said "It's time."

    So now I'm on the waiting list for a transplant. By the time I'm at the top of the list my weight should (will almost definitely) be under the 90kg (200lb) mark, which was the whole point of the gastric surgery in the first place. At the moment the average waiting time here in Oz is 4-5 years, so I'm hoping that some nice, kind individual takes pity on me and donates me a kidney, otherwise I've got to wait for some poor person to pass-away so I can have their's.

    The upshot of all this is that I get incredibly fatigured doing anything - even this post I had to write in two parts with a 15 minute break in the middle - so I don't know how quickly I can churn out DOE/DOR-updates, etc - I'll try, but I'll have to see how things go.

    Anyway, thanks to all who have wished me well over the last couple of months, and I'll try to stay as engaged as I can moving forward (and if you know of anyone with a spare kidney, let me know, OK ).

    Cheers

    Ouch. 5% functioning certainly doesn't sound great. It's good to hear that the surgery went well and hopefully they can address the kidneys in short order as well. Wishing you well.

    Kidneys have a VAST reserve of functioning that they can lose, especially when you take into account us not having to drink dirty and contaminated water (for the most part) anymore.
