Home from the hospital
Well I have been home a week now and I'm feeling stronger. I had problems with my revision. While in recovery my blood pressure dropped low, I was bleeding internally. I was put in ICU and over the next 1 1/2 day was given 4 units of blood. I ended up staying a day longer then expected.
A day after I came home I woke up and I had a HUGH bruise going from one hip all the way around the lower part of my apron skin to the other hip. And it is the darkest purple I have ever seen. I guess I did loss a LOT of blood.
And back to this liquid diet "fun, fun". But I did this all once I can do it again.
I have felt so much better, no vomiting, no acid reflux and I can actually sleep laying flat in my bed. Praise God.

Diane,
WOW that sounds so scary and I am so happy you are on the road to recovery.
I know what you mean about feeling better after revision , I do to , actually I wonder if they even did anything other than take out my band ...seriously , my stomach and esophagus feel AWESOME , or normal , which is awesome.
I had tons of really bad bruising after the band but I don't this time , just where they gave me the injection in my belly.
I am SO SO glad you are home safe and sound , I think you are the second one I have read about this week who lost a lot of blood after revision.
I pray you heal fast and feel better and better every day
