New to the boards but long time lurker
Well I had my surgery on the 19th and the next day we found out that there was a block or pinched part of my intestines and so that had to be fixed so on the 21st. I went back into surgery to get that fixed and I wake up late in the day on the 23rd..it seems my breathing wasn't where they wanted it to be so they left the breathing tube in and kept me sedated for most of the weekend. All I remember is waking up and being out of it with a breathing tube still in and intense back pain.. wondering wth ? After they took that out they explained all that had happened and how my back had got screwed up (basically muscles hurt badly and some of the soft tissue in my back/side area is numb)..and sorry i don't know the technical term, and why i had a GI tube in (oh fun..NOT) So my 3-4 day hospital stay turned into a 9 day stay but I am thankful for all the good nurses at the hospital and really thankful for my ICU nurse. Now its time for recovery..it just has been slow when you cant get sleep very well because your back is killing you. Even with all that I think I would still do it again..already down 27lbs at 3 week mark.
