Postive thoughts for Tammie

Hi guys, A friend of mine, Tammie Miller, is back in the hospital. She had surgery the same day as my hubby, but has been plagued with problems. Mostly nausea, dehydration, 2 stricture openings and now it looks like she is going to possilby have the old gallbladder out. I think she could really use some prayers or positive thoughts right now. She is kind of getting a little on the depressed side. She's been in the hospital 4 times since her surgery and she just wants to feel good. Doesn't want to eat, can't get enough fluids in. No fun. Thanks guys, I sure do appreciate it! Val

VAl, Prayers and good thoughts are going out to Tammie right now. Hope you can post soon that she is feeling better and on the road to recovery. Don't you think it would just be easier if they took out our gallbladders when they did the RNY ? So many people end up having them out within a year or two of post-op anyway. Nancy

Thanks Nancy! I will tell her tomorrow. Actually no. It adds to the degree of difficulty for the sugery, plus adds another internal wound, more potential for risks and infection. If it is ok when you have the surgery chances are it will be ok later on. Now, I do know that if you have gallbladder disease already, that most surgeons generally take it out when they do the RNY. It is an easier procedure if you have the open, but not as easy with the lap. It's kind of a person to person thing to. Thanks again tho for the good thoughts. I know she's tired of being in the hospital and tired of feeling icky! I will check on her tomorrow. Val

Val, She is definitely in my thoughts and prayers. How awful! Hopefully, this will be her last problem, and she will have nothing but good health and lots of weight loss in the upcoming months. I have always heard that prayer does help, and every little bit counts! Take care, Jenny

Jenny! Hey! Me too! I hope this is it! Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers. I will be sure to tell her. She is potentially having her surgery around 2:30 tomorrow. She's an add on so you know how that goes.... See ya! Val

I will definitely pray for her. Let me know if there is anything I can do. Hugs, Jaimee

Thanks Jaimee! I appreciate it! I will know more today, hopefully this will be the key to the puzzle as to why she has been feeling so bad lately! Val
