PMarie posting from hospital
Sorry to hear you ran into something unexpected, that's tough. Will you have to be in longer because of the open surgery and/or the hernia? Congrats though on having your surgery and being on your way to better health!

Congrats on the surgery! Sorry you hit a speed bump! I am sure you will be on the mend soon and hopefully a few months out it will be a distant memory(the speed bump)

Much as you hated to hear it, it's not a really big deal. I had a hernia repair and unexpected appendectomy done, open, before Dr. Jones did my RNY lap. So I say I got a three-fer! I stayed in 3 nights instead of the standard 2, and I had planned to take 4 weeks off anyway (just 'cuz I had the PTO available), so things went really smoothly for me! I was a crazy # of pounds UP at my first post-op appointment (due to IVs and getting most of my water in right off the bat), so that was depressing, but by the end of my first month I was down 32 from that!
So it's just a bump in the road, hon. You TOO are now a BIG LOSER!!! Holler (pm me) if you need more reassurance. You're gonna be FINE!!!

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
I was nervous when I had surgery that they would have to open me up instead of lap, but they didn't. I am sorry that you had to wake up to that! Big hugs. It will take a little longer to heal, but you still have the same insides as all of us other RNYs! Hang in there!
