Hello everyone,
Well I DID IT! Thank GOD its over! I had my surgery the 13th! I was having some trouble with the upper GI after surgery swallowing the bariam liquid was just god awful and they were having trouble reading the slide so I had to stay an extra day but everything came back okay. I came home on Friday, slept like a baby, and then on Saturday had a really bad day. I just could not get enough fluids in I started to feel really sick, I was sweating and extremely weak. My sister had to call 911 so I could be taken to the hospital.
They gave me an IV and filled me up with fluids, had a cat scan, and everything came back normal. They think I am constipated because I have hadnt had a bowel movement in a week now. I tried milk of magnesia, pruinds, and a fleet enema. I felt little relief from, the fleet enema and have a DRs appt tomorrow. Other than that I am feeling much better. They took my JP tube out at the ER and most of the pain is still gone.
I am still taking the pain medication..I don tknow how people dont. Hows everyone else? Im already down 15lbs!
