Just got home from hospital...need some encouragement!!

Thanks Liz, my switch sister for your warm words...its means alot!!!  Im hanging in there...doing my best to heal up and get back to feeling back to my ole self...Im blessed to have such  great support from my DH who is taking great care of me....I will be good as new in no time...

I'm sorry you had to go through with that.  I live every day with the knowledge that something like that could happen to me.  Every unusual pain I worry about and evaluate whether or not I need to be seen.
I have also had two additional surgeries since my revision due to an incisional hernia.  I don't like it but I knew what I was getting into.

Thanks LadyTazz for your reply...It is imperative we listen to our bodies...I will reinforce that for sure...we are our best advocates!!  Now I have concerns about other problems down the road..I have to not let this scare me.  I hope you have recovered from your hernai surgery...this one sounded a bit rough on you....the good thing is each day will get better...and Im hanging onto that thought...

I'm so glad you had an Emergency room Dr. who took you seriously!!!!  Glad it's over and you are home recovering! 

(((HUGS)))

Thanks Roz for your message of support!!..Im glad its over too..the pain was something Ive never ever dealt with..I usually have good pain tolerance...this pain literally knocked me on my knees...Im happy to be home and Im resting and taking care of myself...

(((hugs)))  Oh, I hope you're feeling better today. That is such a scary thing to go through. I'm glad they were able to spot the issue on the CT scan and get you sorted out as quickly as they did.

Thanks Gina for the hugs...I need those right now..It was indeed scarey...wouldnt want to go there again...am thankful to the wonderful dr. who cared enough to stay at work late so he could fix me....I am feeling a bit better today...

Hello! I am new to this forum but wanted to tell you that I hope you are feeling better and encourage you to stay positive.  I feel bad you have been through so much lately. I am glad your doc was able to locate the source of your problem and probably saved your life!!

110 pounds is AMAZING and you should be so proud!!! I am not familiar with DS so I don't know if the surgery you had reversed your WLS but even if it did, stay positive and remember that YOU lost the weight and your surgery was just a tool to help you get there. 

Hi Stacy....Thanks for your kind message...No I am still a DSer...Dr. just corrected the problem.  I am lucky I went into emergency when I did...I am proud I have come so far in a year...and once Im better I will be back to my daily routine that I am missing so much right now...welcome to the forum too!!!

Im glad they got it sorted out for you right away in the ER.  I was rushed into emergency surgery for a bowel obstruction which turned into a rupture during the surgery on 2/16.  I had been dealing with my surgeon and the ER with pain for a month, and they kept saying it was my gall bladder.    Unfortunately I had some complications with the surgery and had to have a second surgery which has knocked me on my butt.  Have you had a complete loss of appetite since your surgery?  I cant seem to eat without getting sick, so getting my nutrients have been really hard.  Ive been down in the dumps since it has happened too, and wish I could get out of this funk.  

I hope you have a quick and easy recovery, and are up and rocking in no time.
