Back home again in Indiana

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I had my surgery on 4/17. I went back to my hotel on 4/18 and drove half

way home on 4/19. On 4/20 after another four hours I got home at 10:30 am

Indiana time. I had only one shot of demerol in the hospital. Walked

around every hour and felt pretty well, all things considered. No where

near the amount of discomfort I expected. my only pain was in my left

shoulder, I guess it concerns a nerve in your stomach. I have had diarrhea

for a few days but no big deal. I am eating yogurt mixed with whey, which

makes it really sweet and I like it better than plain yogurt. I had broth

and jello too. I am starting the creatine and glutamine today. I had to

give myself injections of Lovenox in the tummy to ward off any blood clots,

as I have a clotting disorder. Today I started my coumadin, a thinner, and

stopped the Lovenox. I feel so great, it is hard to believe I just had

surgery. Much less discomfort than my gall bladder removal!!! I was

saddened and scared to hear about at clinic, 4/15. My thoughts and

prayers go out to her family.

The carafate is not bad at all, the citrucel I mix the sugar free orange

flavored with 2 oz of water and it goes down easy. I am thrilled to be on

the other side and will gladly answer any preop queries, you need to use my

name in the re box, so I will be sure to see it. A big hug to all my

littermates, Sue in Veazie, Maine, Sue in MI, Jess, Cheryl, and Marcia.

Does any one have the web site address for post-ops? I guessed I missed

this somewhere along the way. Joy and peace to you all,

nne in Indiana

nne,

Welcome back!! It's good to hear from you, and I'm glad everything went well.

I have to admit, I was a little worried for you due to the clotting disorder.

It's sounds like everything has been almost a breeze for you! Keep us posted on

how things go, what foods you find you can/cannot tolerate, etc.

Congrats on being " on the other side. " It was nice meeting you at clinic on

4/15.

BTW, did anyone see Carnie today on Good Morning America? I have the day

off for Good Friday and I watched it. She looks amazing and is SO full of

energy. Did she have the open Roux-N-Y or was hers lap?

Best / e

Carnie had the laparascopic RNY. My boss gave me her latest People

magazine, and it had an interview with her. Yes, she does look terrific.

Her life certainly has changed in the last year. I think it's great that

she's getting what she wants. No doubt her wedding will be beautiful.

Carnie looked beautiful but I did notice that her hair was looking a bit

thin. But it wasn't that bad. I could live with that if the weight came

off.
