I was in the hospital for 23 days, as the DRs thought I had it, but it wound-up being Severe/Acute Pancreatitis I lost 131-lbs and died 2x

You lost 131 pounds in 23 days?! Good lord!

I had neck tubes in veins, feeding me and watering me, to bypass the stomach and inflamed pancreas, so my body consumed all its body fat and muscle. 2-3 small cups of ice chips a day, was all I was allowed, in the Oncology Wing/ICU/CCU.

I was like a cadaver when I got out. I went from size 38” Lee jeans down to 32”, and they were like bags on me. I’m putting weight back on slowly, now and up from 134 to 159.

I still have stents in my stomach, so I can’t lift weights yet, until they’re removed, so all I can use are 7 & 10-lb dumbells. I need to put muscle back on, not just weight.
