Surgery Tomorrow
Wish me luck! I'm waiting for my call from the hospital that will tell me what time I need to be there in the morning. Just to bring you up to speed - I had a complication that required me to have a g-tube placed in my excluded stomach (the leftover stomach after the pouch is made for RNY) from last August till December. Because the tube was in for so long I developed a lot of scar tissue, so the hole where the tube was can't close on its own - and I've developed several small hernias around the tube site due to that scar tissue. So tomorrow my surgeon will remove the scar tissue and some of my excess skin that has been exasperating the hernia problem. I should be home on Saturday - but I don't know when I'll be up to posting.
Below you can find a pic of the tube hole...it is icky...so beware. I'm just glad that by tomorrow I won't have it anymore. Good vibes would be appreciated!
