Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 , My heart goes out to you..I know what you went through as I went through similar with my experience. I know the pain was intense, I am glad Dr. moved quickly for you, and recognized the problem. Wishing you a speedy recovery from here on out...by the way I hate to say this but because of going under twice, my hair is now a wreck, the drugs have doubled into it and all I can do now is wait for it to grow out.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Hi , Great to hear that you are home and feeling better. Your journey has certainly been a bumpy one so far. Having that feisty little doctor in there fighting for you was a godsend. Hope you continue to feel better and better. BTW 47 lb. is a definite WOW!!! All the best, Kay open RNY 12/1/03 taba519 wrote: Good Morning all, Well I'm home!!! And what an accomplishment this is! As I posted before I left my surgery date was Jan. 21st in San Diego with Dr. . And let me say what a wonderful individual Dr. is both as a surgeon, and a friend. My surgery went as planned on the 21st I woke up in recovery sometime during the night of the 21st my bowel where the old stomach and new stomach met twisted and filled my old stomach with blood and bile, I woke on the 22nd in pain but more then anything nauseaus. My pulse shot up into the 170's so I spend the day getting cat scan's and ekg's to figure out what had happened. When they figured it out then were going to put another drain into me just to releave the pressure as they were begining that Dr. comes in and informs them she is taking me directly into surgery. Anyone who has met Dr. 's know's she is a tiny little Irish Women with glasses and Bun, but she's fiesty and out the door she pushed my bed on her own and straight into surgery admission, I don't remember much of it because I was so out of it, but I do remember the admission staff telling her they had no where to put me and Dr. saying well find somewhere this is my next patient! She immediatley called my father who luckily was on the way up from the lobby anyway and explained things to him. She was not only great with me she provided excellent comfort for my family during my second surgery. After the second we thought I was in the clear and Dr. released me Monday night the 26th Well Surprise on the 27th I was back in the hospital Nausea's once again, My same bowel had decided to swell and wasn't letting any on the fluid from my old stomach get through so I spend until Feb 1st in the hospital waiting for the swelling to go down which it finally did! AUGHHH so here I am finally at home, after all that I'm recovering and slowly starting to feel like my old self again! Dr. says what I went through she's never had to deal with before! I find that interesting I'm almost 3 weeks out I've lost 47lbs and just moving right along! Well thought I'd share my adventure I'm thankful to be home and feeling better! Good luck to all of those who are on there way, and anyone with Dr. give her hugs from and be good to her!! Have a great day!! 252/205 Dr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
