hey guys! How are ya???

Just checking in and letting you know I had surgery. They cut me open and pulled out left ovary with all the trimmings(ewww!!!) LOL and my uterus. Had to leave my cervix though. I am on the mend. I had some problems coming out of surgery. My BS was 271! I could not come out from under the anesthesia! My BP was a little high too. 220?/132. I never have a problem with my BP. Then they were giving me shots of insulin the 3 days I was in the hosp. cause of BS problems! Now I am on actos. Anyone know about it?? Anyhow, I now have my gyn and my endo. Doctors writing necessity letters to the ins. co. Hope it works. Please keep me in your prayers. I was told that the wls wasn't covered because of my small business in MD but I was told if I could prove it necessary they may cover it. I will get on in a couple of days. I need to lay down. They gave me good pain drugs!!! Dilaudid! Good stuff. anyhow, ya'll have a great night! Tammy

Hey Tammy! Glad you made it home ok. I totally know about the anesthesia thing, I do it too, but that sucks about your BP and BS! But look on this side of it, that is definately comorbidities for wls. Now you can definately justify needing the surgery. I don't know about the drug you are on. Earl was on Avandia for his sugar, it was new so this must be another new one. Yes, go lay down, get some rest, and enjoy the pain meds! You are in our prayers! Keep us posted! Feel better! Hugs, Val

Sooooooo glad to hear you are doing ok Tammy. Sounds like you had a little roller coaster ride in the hospital. MY BP sometimes spikes with anethesia as well. Get some rest and feel better soon!! If you get bored shoot me a msg. I should be online today.
