oooohhhhh!!!!!! It's so HARD!!!!!!! It's killing me.....

Well Friends. I am now 6 days post-op. Will I ever do this agian?,, i still cant answer the question. I am down 10 lbs. At least there is a good part!!!!!!... My surgery was great (laproscopic) on wednesday October 20, 2004 at 9:30 am. They sent me home in two days (Friday) becasue I did well.... what happened then????? All of a sudden, all the insicions felt great except one. The deepest wound, got hot, red, i couldnt walk, everyone telling me i am supposed be walking, could not get out of bed... called the doctor on Monday because I couldnt anymore. I knew something was wrong!!!!. He said come in immediatley... How lucky!!!! Opened my womb with his hands, started screaming I could just kill him. All the puss came out, smelled horrible.... I had an infection. I am now on antibiotics. Just wondering, when am I gonig to start loving the sacrifice... I hardly cant walk without pain. Dont take pain meds because all the ones tried, I am allergic..... I am trying to have a clear mind about all of this, a positive attitude, but how can I if i am in so much pain??????????????

yeah when people say you took the easy way out wouldn't ya love to smack em???lol I had surgery last monday the 18th lap rny, same as you,,, went home wed. started bleeding from my rectum, went back in for 2 units of blood and two more days in hospital now seem good, at home still sore but did manage to walk around the block yesterday, my incision sites are all healing but one is a little red, so I'm watching it, and I go to doc thur good luck with your infection, and I will pray for you

I am so sorry to hear about your infection but thankfully it is opened up now and you should soon start feeling better. I will say a prayer and send good thoughts your way. Take Care Carol

First you must take a deep breath! Get your pain under control and slowly move forward with a positive attitude. You have taken a big step had the surgury and every thing else will get better. We will pray for you. Remember no matter how bad you feel you still must walk a little. take care and keep smiling . xo xo Teresa

I hope you feel better, I had surgery on 10/20 and it didn't go as smooth, I was intubated and spent two and a half days in ICU, and now I have an allergic reaction to prevacid and have hives all over. But I haven't once regreted this decission as I knew I had no other option. The positive is I have lost 11 pounds and am off of my diabetes meds and blood pressure meds that I have been taking since 1997. Keep your chin up and remeber this to shall pass and you will start enjoying this decission! Take Care!

Lisa, I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling bad. Just reading your words about opening up your inscision makes me want to scream. It isn't easy. But the rewards are going to be worth it, I am sure of that. Try to relax and let everything fall into place, it will. Good luck, Amber

EVEN THOUGH I HARDLY CANT WRITE, I THANK ALL FOR THE WORDS SAID AND I PRAY TO GOD THAT THIS WILL PASS SOON.

Hi Lisa, I totally know how you are feeling. I am 3 weeks post op and I still ask myself was it worth it but when I look at the scale and realized that I have lost 25 lbs I say it is. I had my surgery open and my incision is still healing. It gets better each day believe me. So, I hope you feel better and things will get better. Laura
