I didn't mean to turn anyone off to the surgery by my experience
I just want everyone to know what I have posted about my own experience is in no way an attempt to try to change anyone's mind not to have the surgery. On the contrary, with all I have gone through I still do not regret my choice, it just turns out to be a little rougher start than what I had anticipated. I just keep daydreaming about all the good things to come and truthfully with each hour I do feel stronger. Some good things come with a hefty price. Look I have two sons and if you asked me to recall their birth I really cannot, so there you go. I guess what one needs to be clear about is this is a very personal choice and not an easy one. Although according to my Dr. the bleeding thing is really not uncommon with all the reading I did I never heard anyone speak about this happening at the hospital.
On the funny side I keep having these really weird dreams about food and Nexium. LOL..it's true! It hurts to laugh right now, but these dreams really crack me up. They are very vivid. I had this one dream where I'm out to dinner with my boyfriend and I'm going over to fill his plate and when I finish put the plate down only to find the waiter cleared the table. When I go back to my boyfriend the poor dear is worshiping an American cheese sandwich on his lap because he is so starved and telling me how he dropped his Prevacid, which I uncontrollably pop into my mouth without opening the capsule first to dissolve it. Then of course there are these wild sounds that came from my stomach this morning, you would have thought it was alive. I heard that my stomach would make some noises but my God I sure as heck hope that these noises never come out during one of my businesses meetings.
