Recovery time after big fix????
Hi. I am 10 years post of from an open RNY. After having problems for 10 weeks and being misdiagnosed and even going through an unnecessary surgery, I was finally correctly diagnosed with an internal hernia and had emergency surgery. What the surgeon found was a mess. I had a blockage where my small bowel had moved into the hernia and tied itself in a knot. He had to do a small bowel resection and re-do the Y limb of my RNY. It took him 3.5 hours to do. I am 4 weeks post op and I still hurt and have little energy. Does anyone know what the recovery time is for a major surgery like this? I'm getting better but it's taking so long...
Thanks.
Kim
