Gabylicious Posted January 21, 2012 Just an update on As3 since a few of you have asked me about him. He has been in the hospital for the last month. He has been released a few times after stabilizing but then as soon as he eats something solid he starts puking up blood and is returned to the hospital by the next day. At this point he's getting worse and is passing large clots of blood from both ends. So, he has come to terms with having the surgery now, this weekend. The last time he had surgery his heart stopped on the table, so he is considered high risk for surgery which was part of the reason to wait. He is getting his affairs in order and preparing for surgery. I for one am glad he's having the surgery now, if for no other reason than that he has been in immeasurable pain for the last 6 weeks. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry to hear this...but in a way I'm also glad like you Halo, that he is finally having the surgery. He is young and let's hope that his youth helps him get through the surgery...However I have to ask Halo, does he have another medical condition and that is why he is considered high risk for surgery? I will be praying for him, I can't believe how he has been able to be under so much pain... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
halo0073 Posted January 21, 2012 Yes, he does have other conditions from serving in Afghanistan. His humvee was ambushed by the Taliban and hit by a bomb. As far as the surgery tomorrow, he will have the ulcer cut out and also some of his intestines taken out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

as33156 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Hi Ladies, Thanks for the prays and well wishes. The surgery went well but took much longer then expected. I had two procedures in one. I was suppose to need just one. When they went inside my stomach to remove the ulcer they found a hole about the size of a golf ball where the acid in my stomach had burned through the full lining of my stomach causing acid and other stomach entities to start pouring onto my intestines. They did something similar to gastric bypass to remove the ucler. They pinched the part of my stomach where the ulcer was then cut it out with a laser then stapled and stitched the opening. Then they removed the part of my intestines that had been damaged from the acid and random stuff in my stomach. The doctor told me after the surgery that what they found when they went in was much worst then what showed up on scans and that I would have died in about a month time if I would have passed on the surgery because my kidneys and liver would have started to shut down. So I was very fortunate. Now I must start the long recovery process with physical therapy and a strict diet. Hopefully I will be able to leave the hospital before my 31st birthday the end of February and enjoy some solid foods for a change. I'm looking forward to posting reports full time like before in a few weeks once I have fully recovered. So once again thanks for your well wishes and support.

HappyGoSkillfully Posted October 9, 2014 Great review, As33! If it made you feel horny it is definitely something I want to give to my bf... I'm very interested in this kind of self-effects...yesterday I told my bf all about pheros and he is really interested and immediately asked if there was a phero he could wear that would make him horny....he is having some problems with his sexual drive and we are giving men's pheros a try...so any advice is more than welcome! I'm Glad you are enjoying your first LPs so much!! I just read this and I had to tell you that Dirty Old Man makes me HORNY! Worth a go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
