Having surgery tomorrow

Hey everyone!

I consulted with my surgeon today and I'm scheduled tomorrow morning at 8am for a laproscopy.  He thinks I have either the internal  hernia or scar tissue is adhering to my colon, either way he'll be fixing it tomorrow.  He's pretty confident that everything  should be fine and he can do it laproscopic but, as always, there's a chance it could go to open if something is unusual...but it sounds like it won't need to go that way.  It'll be same day surgery. 

Just wanted to let you guys know.  I"ll post again tomorrow or the next day and let you know how it goes. 

I'm really hoping this is my last surgery for awhile!

DANG....

I am so sorry that you have to go through surgery again, and your trying to get ready for your vacation too! 

I was actually thinking about you earlier and wondering what the doctors had decited, but glad to hear that they can fix it!!!

Lots of hugs and prayers you way!!!

Sending good vibes your way, Emily!

 I know how you feel! I just had to have my gallbladder out this morning because of complications I was having. I hope everything goes well tomorrow and they are able to get everything fixed laproscopic and everything goes back to normal. Hopefully it'll be a quick recovery and you'll be good for that vacation you have planned. Let us know how things go, I'm be thinking about you tomorrow! Good luck!

Looks like we are about in the same boat!!  This surgery feels very much like my gallbladder surgery but that's good because I recovered pretty easily from that and I hope you do too!

Thanks everyone, you guys are the absolute best!!

My surgery went fantastic.  They were able to do it lap. so I have 3 more tiny incisions to add to my collection...lol.   Turns out I had an internal hernia,  scar tissue was adhearing and my colon was twisted. I'm in some pain but on meds but all in all, I feel good. The worst part was that it took 8 attempts by 4 doctors to get my IV going, so unpleasant bu they did give me numbing meds thank God!

 It's really a good thing that I got this taken care of when I did because the surgeon said I would have gotten extremely sick or died had I ignored it.  Moral of the story is - Pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong, listen to it!

I'm at my parent's house right now resting and recovering.  No lifting 25lbs or more for 4 weeks and no strenuous exercise for about the same time. ..that one will be hard but at least I can walk for now.   

Looks like the vacation is a go though!  I have my follow up the day before we leave.

Again, thank you all so much for your thoughts/prayers.  I wish I could give all of you a great big hug and maybe someday I can!
