Another surgery for me....oh my!

The bulge is from where the mesh has been rejected by my body and instead of my tissue and muscles growing into the me**** isnt. ANd the bulge is my innards ( intestines and bowel) sticking out. So on September 29,2008 I will have my fifth surgery since my gastric bypass. I do have a umbicial hernia which will also be repaired at the same time. For the first time since my GB I  cried to be facing another surgery alone is just hard for me emotionally.. And to top it off my favorite Aunt died today so I am really having an emotional roller coaster....

Pattye-you are not alone.  I'll be happy to drive you to the hospital and sit with you and call your honey and let him know you are ok.

Deb you always know how to make me cry...

Now now, I just thought it would be a great way to hit on doctors.......

I know only one good looking doc there and hes the one that puts ya to sleep....wonder if hes boring

I'd offer to hold your hand during surgery and find out-but you might prefer he stay focused on his job.

I'm so sorry Pattye that you are going through all of this.  My prayers are with you that all will go well.  Do you think this is because of the WLS?  I'm also sorry to hear about  your Aunt.  Please know that we're here for you!!  I can't even imagine what emotional roller coaster you must be on right now.....

Sweetie this is not the first complication I have had from GB...lol I have had a hernia and gall bladder removed back in March and now this....the one thing I have learned from this,,is to make sure you don't let life be taken for granted. Have fun enjoy the small things and always surprise the anthelogist by grabbing his tush after he gives you the happy meds..the look on his face is priceless

I'm sorry.  I had my gallbladder out many years ago.  It seems we all learn not to take life for granted as we get older.  You're too funny.  I can just imagine the look on his face after you grab his tush...that's nice to have that to remember for you go to sleep!!!

Pattye, you crack me up!  Grabbing his tush is something I never thought of!  Seriously, I am so sorry you are facing another surgery.  Take Deb up on her offer.  It will be comforting to have someone with you.  Hang in there. Surely this will be the last surgery for a very long time and maybe forever.
