Topic: Night sweats hot flashes
So I am 6 days post op and the last 2 days have been experiencing night sweats and occasional hot flashes........anyone else experienced this? I have not gotten my period, I did think I was going to since I had swollen breasts and tenderness in the hospital.
I had a follow up with the surgeon today who just said my body was adjusting to a lot and these things happen but gave no explanatin even when I kept asking if it was hormonal. I have lost 20 lbs in the last 3 weeks- 10lbs on the pre-op diet and 10 lbs since surgery.

I am so sorry to learn of your situation - and sorry you wish you had to do it all over again and wouldn't do the rny. I however am one of those really annoying people who always has to look for the positive in the situation so I am going to offer it up and hope in some small way it makes you chuckle a bit! =) Keep in mind I had to be completely and totally opened up about 10 years ago - I have a scar that goes from about 2 inches above my belly button all the way down to you know where - so I know what that scar is alllll about! =) So if they have to open you up ask them to give you a nice little tummy tuck at the same time. =) If they have to remove more scar tissue they may just be willing to do it. I checked with my doctor because the adhesion's from my scar are so bad and he told me that when they go in for the adhesion surgery I can get the tummy tuck too. =) It might work!

Oh yea that kind of sucks. my mom has been doing the same thing... but not my husband. And I really don't care about my mom's friends knowing, but they are a little removed from me you know what I mean? I'm glad my husband is sensitive enough to know this is for me to tell.
Topic: RE: Devestated
I am so sorry to hear about what has happened... I feel for you... what a disappointment! Don't apologize for your feelings... they are what they are... there was a time when this stupid PCOS put me in a place where I was devastated too... and I can tell you that you will heal. I know that doesn't sound like much but you will get through this! What is your next step???

Well I went in for my surgery this am. When I woke up, 2 hours after being put under I found out that they did not remove anything except a bunch of scar tissue, and that was removed so they could get to my ovary.
From what I have been told, I didn't get to speak to the doc so I'm going by what the nurse and BF told me.
There was massive scare tissue, several hernias and other problems, that at this time it would be too much of a risk to remove my ovary without the help of another surgeon. And also that they will need to open me up completely.
She took pics, my right ovary is white, all white, and my left, well its a mass of bloody mush basically.
So I came home today, fully intact except for the holes they made to have a peek. This is very devastating for me, I was hoping they wouldn't have to open me up all the way. But I went in knowing it would probably happen today. But to wake up and hear that one I didn't do so good under anesthesia, and two, I'm too high of a risk..
I have had my moments since I had RNY where I wonder what I was thinking, why did I do this. I'm saying now, and hopefully nobody gets angry, I think I made a horrible decision having RNY, because my PCOS got worse after surgery, when so many others gets better.. I know I lost all this weight and I am thankful for that every single day, but this, today and in the next few weeks/months the pain I will have to endure just doesn't seem to be worth it to me..
I am angry, hurt, scared and not even sure yet what I am going to do! Cry, a lot, right now, no it won't make it better but makes me feel good to get it out...
I am thankful for the surgeon to not put my health/life and body at risk of anything! But I am so devastated that it has gone the way it has...
I am so sorry for venting! I hope nobody gets offended. I wanted to just update everyone..
