this could happen to you
Not concerned in finding the perfect someone..it will happen when it happens. I want a life back..without waiting for surgery or doing recovery from surgery for the last two summers I have spent the time watching from the sidelines just as I did when I was that gat girl..this sucks.
but I am looking at this side if the road...i have learned more ways to call a hernia everythign but a hernia how to wipe my tush with out bending how to listen to the tummy and laugh at the noises and how to clear a room with gas and look totally innocent

Hi, Patti,
I'm so sorry to hear about this. I think after all is said and done, you'll be the new bionic woman. I envy how you keep a good attitude about it all and are there to help the newbies.
Also, are you going to the group Tuesday night? I have a bag of clothes for the clothing swap but will be unable to attend. I'll be glad to donate it for the cause.

It isn't just WLS that can result in hernias. My sister had open heart surgery when she was 36 and had to have two hernias repaired a few years later (one was really bad). Her original surgery was successful, but they wound up splitting her down the middle, closing that & turning her over to go between ribs on the side of her back. It was emergency surgery for a dissected aorta.
My point is that our WLS surgeries may have been scheduled, but they were also emergencies in their own right. Some of us have had complications and will have more. However, I've gotten off a lot of my meds and am planning to outlive my parents who died in their mid 60s. Since my husband's parents are still living on their own at 96 & 98, I don't intend to leave him to the mercy of some widow lady.
I wish you well on your next round of surgeries. Feel free to vent anytime. If I become too much of a Pollyanna, please tell me to stuff a sock in my mouth. However, I figure you want some positive feedback or you would have gone elsewhere.

My siuster had lung cancer a year ago and she has a hernia....its the fascia that tears and causes this...was told today exactly what has happened to me and I am now more so in control then before. THANK GOD FOR DOCTOR CYNTHIA NYDICK!!!
she took the timer and drew out what happened and told me would do some research and see what she can do for me. Her biggest point that hit home is for me to get back to walking and doing my bands...
Complications can happen thats the whole point of this posting. People who go in thinking that the simplest procedure can not have complications need to know...that they do happen.
I normally dont vent but in the loast few months it feels good to let the steam off...
Hope your and I pray your sister is doing fine.
