Good Morning everyone

Hi Everyone Well it is almost 1:00am and I am not able to sleep, no surprise there.  I am just uncomfortable.  So here is the skinny, Tuesday night I ate Tuna and thought it was stuck.  Could not sleep well that night and then Wed. morning it was much worse.  So I called Dr. Gandsas (WLS) and he brought me in Sinai ER to be checked.  Still nothing from BW or CT results.  So Dr. G came to the ER and was looking at my pain and looking at the CT (Cat Scan) and pointed right to a hernia. Then came back to my abdomen pushed down on me and I went through the ceiling.  He then took me to the OR in about 2 hours.  I had moved so fast my head was spinning.  Sorry to anyone that call in that hour time frame or I called you.  I was really scared and upset.  So everything is fine now, I am really sore but I am sure this will pass in the next couple of days.  I have 3 (yes 3) hernia's repaired and a bunch of adhesions removed as well. My bets are that is why I feel like a truck ha**** me.   It was a good thing we found this sooner than later, it could have gotten really ugly.  Again Thank you all!  Your support has been a greater power than you will ever know.  Time for more drugs and sleep. Hugs Kristen   PS: Here is a picture, keep in mind that I am really swollen and now I have a total of 9 holes in my stomach, Golf anyone! LOL

Hi Kristen, I'm a newbie here, nice to meet you. :) I'm glad to hear you're doing well and I hope you have a speedy recovery!  Take care, Brandi

Kristen ouch - hope you got some sleep tonight.  I bet your little girl was worried about her mommy. Feel better soon! Ellen

Ellen I did not get much sleep last night.  Poor Gabriella was up with me a couple times last night, she was making sure her mommy was ok.  She is going to be so tired when she gets up in about 15 mins.  DH is going to help her get ready for school.  She and him both are not use to me being down.  I do EVERYTHING. Thank you for your well wishes. Hugs Kristen

I AM GLAD YOU ARE OKAY!!!!

Awww sweetie..Im sorry for all this shyt..but like you said...glad they found it now and not later...but just think..how tan and goood you looked on that operating table..lol...

Thanks Heather, I was very tan on the table LOL  You know what, it was neat to be in the same operating room but 100 pounds lighter.  Everything seemed to be much smaller. Hugs Kristen

Oh, your poor belly!  Glad to hear you are home in one piece.  Hang low and feel better.  I know since you are 100lbs thinner it has got to be harder to do, but you need to. It is nice that you were able to have your surgeon there and he was able to properly diagnose you. Take care,

I am glad that you are back home and healing up nicely. do you know what caused all those hernia's? that sounds like scary stuff, kid. take this weekend to heal up and rest if you can.

Nicole I have no idea, but not looking to do this EVER again. Thanks for your well wishes. Hugs Kristen
