Re: Crazy Glue? Flying 3 DAYS post-op?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I couldn't find the original message but please don't do chocolate

after myo..big mistake as it will bind you up. I could have easily

flown after my myo.

I had a $$$ appt. with Dr. West and he didn't mention crazy glue or

his history on the nys dept of health site. Visit that site.

I'm gonna quote the Dr.- " I'm the only one who can do this for you "

and " I won't tell you you can't have a baby " And while he couldn't

promise that I wouldn't need a transfusion, dr.w would not allow me

the time to bank blood

Well no baby yet (scared to even try) but he's not the only one who

could do my complicated myo..not even close. I found a much better

doc. Take the time to explore your options.

....it's truly nicknamed crazy glue....and it is crazy how it works....

Cyanoacrylates is the REAL name of medical/commercial product......

There is no need to " bank blood " for Dr. West's surgery. Why not?

Because he uses a cell saver.

Preoperative autologous blood donation is unnecessary if a cell saver

is used.

e-

Could you tell me more-how far was you flight? Was

someone with you? How'd you feel? etc.

I am asking because I may have to fly cross country

alone(including a change of planes) after surgery and

want to get a sense of all this.

Thanks, Dawn

It was hard. I was suppose to ride to the airport

with a friend but she backed out that morning and put

me on the bus to the airport instead. I had NO

LUGGAGE. I had my purse with my medications and ID

(oh and a book). I got to the airport okay but really

tired. A skycap saw me and ask if I needed help. So

I guess that means I looked like I needed it huh. I

had booked myself as handicapped so they got me my

ticket and a wheelchair. They rolled me to my gate

and left me by the door. I was looped on Vicodin so I

was feeling little pain but was really stiff by the

time we were boarding. The airline was great! They

were helpful. (The only walking I did other than for

exercise was through security and on to and off of the

plane.) My doctor knew of my plans and used steri

strips instead of staples so there was no worry about

removing them. This was planned for including booking

the flight six days post surgery to allow time for

complications.

The worst part of flying was I had had a catheter

until the afternoon before I flew due to the fact that

my bladder was cut during the surgery and I was still

urinating a lot and the flight added to the gas issues

that we all have post surgery. No one had warned me

this would happen and it hurt for longer than the

first time I had a myo and rode in a car for 8 hours.

When I flew back two weeks later I did have luggage

and took the bus again and was very sore (I only had

Tylenol at this point). The gas was irritating also

after this flight too. (and no this is not a usual

flying issue for me)
