Hi ...here is ..my update lap rny surgery - 7/10 Gave my surgeon a rought time messing and tangleing up with a netting that supported 2 stomach / umbilical hernias repaired in 2004. So instead of the usual 5 - 6 ports I got 7 very itchy incisions. The gas that inflated my stomached pressed too much on my lungs that I had an asthma flair up and needed nasal O2 and imbulaizers treatments so I could breathe easier. Only pain I had was the liver retractor port site and chest pain from stubborn lungs that refused to inflate fully after surgery. after a 2 1/2 day stay - came home bloated with fluids & gas! went to scale and was shocked to learn I gainned 15 lbs --gosh moping around the next few days feeling like a over inflated beach ball - waiting to burst! The past 2 days have been the best for me both physically and mentally. I'm feeling stronger each day, contentfull and amusing myself over little simple things. What a High!!! Prehaps blame it on the blasted heat wave , the withdrawal from those pain meds (ivs, anthes, morphine) getting out of my body, " going stir crazy " by not eating solid foods since june 27 or just simply "finally" taking a easy and doing things at a slower pace and taking the time to really "smell the roses" and focus on my senses . Happy to be on the losing side..... wt 6/27 = 215 wt 7/10 = 205 wt 7/19 = 196 Marleen
