Well, Dr Stewart decided there was no reason to wait till next week, he felt the stint would be working by now if it was going to take. Do in the am we are going in to repair it using existing tissue inside. It has to be done open which scares me and depending on dwelling he may or may not be to close me up all the way. This is all a mess, just hope this will fix it for good .

I'll be praying that everything goes well.  I bet Dr. Stewart thinks it will and that's why he's decided not to wait.

You will be in my prayers for a very speedy recovery. I know this has been a very long and difficult process for you. You have been such a trooper thru it all. Please don't be afraid of having your surgery open. It gives the Dr a much better chance of seeing things and resolving the problem. You will heal  quickly I'm sure.

Hugs!

After I had my DS laproscopically, two days later, my surgeon had to open me up because of a leak - I had 2 liters of blood around my liver.  By opening me up, he was able to repair the leak, and I was out of the hospital in a week.  The recovery time is a little slow after being opened, but at least he can fix what needs to be fixed.  The good news is that now, almost three months later, I just took my first trip on a plane, have lost almost 60 pounds, and I'm feeling better!  Prayers for you having success as well!

Having surgery opens sounds scary, but it really is the easiest way for the doctor to get in there, see, and have the room to maneuver and fix what is going on. I bet it will fix you once and for all. Hang in there!

So sorry you are going through all of this.. Big hugs!
