Topic: RE: May 4th Surgery - Rny - any one else?
Hi Mary
I am doing fine now. After getting out of the hospital on thursday I have been walking and getting my protein and drink in as much as possible. I still have both a feeding tube and blood drain still attached to my body but hope to have my doctor remove them on monday. I am probably looking at 5/26 to go back to work. Still in a bit of pain but the meds help. Once they stablized me in the hospital I started doing much better and I spent the last 4 days in the hospital on the regular bariatric wing. I was told to walk so I was walking at least 8-10 times a day just to get rid of the gas and speed healing. So now I am doing pretty well. I am glad you got your stitches out. My doctor is supposed to take mine out on monday as well. Yes it was a scary and horrible situation but I made it out alive and better then ever so I thank God every day for seeing me through this. Now I can get on with this new and exciting journey! Best of luck to you as well. Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Craig
I was stunned when I read your post . That must have been awful and scary. I am so glad you are okay and hopefully doing well. 18 blood transfusions and such low blood pressure, thank God you are okay. Hope the rest is downhill for you. How are you doing now? being at home is so much better and i was only in the hospital two days, i can imagine how glad you are to be home after a week in the hospital.
I got my stiches out on Friday and feel a lot better. Still on pain meds at night. Was supposed to go back to work on Wednesday but doctor and I thought it would be better to wait till Monday the 23rd instead - which is fine with me.
Are you moving around yet? do you have a lot of pain? i hope not.

Hi Mary
Just got home today. My surgery was a nightmare. There were several complications during my surgery due to scar tissue and how the previous surgeon removed my lap band. He apparently just ripped it out which cause massive scar tissue that my surgeon had to remove. needless to say my surgery which was supposed to be 2-3 hours ended up being almost 10 hours. I also crashed in the recovery room when my blood pressure dropped to 10 over 15 and no I am not missing a 1 in front of the numbers. Also had to be given 18 blood transfussions because I was bleeding internally. The good news is that after 7 days I am alive and well and finally recovering at home. Glad your surgery was such a success.
