craigcu

I'm five days post op, drain still in. I'm getting 10-20 cc every 6 hours, which doesn't seem like much, but who knows? I like the idea of self removal, I changed dressings on the site today and saw where the stitches would need to be cut.. Is my drain volume normal?

kimby, s&w took great care of my dad there in temple. Great facility.

. Great idea Rosie, I think right now my stomach name will be GuRP (gurgling unpleasant reactionary pot). It's name will improve when it treats me better..???? How is everyone doing 5 days post op?

So I have a question so I hope I do not embarrass anyone. But have anyone of you pooped yet?

I'm having a bad night. Feeling very angry and upset with myself for having to put myself and my family through this. Not a good evening. Feeling lonely, even though surrounded by love. Sorry, just had to get it out there somewhere.

hi Rosie, they finally decided it had happened at surgery and was one of those rare cases where some blood stayed inside the stomach. Which when intestines were finally working, came out. So, when the drain was pulling normal fluids out and ct scan did not show additional bleeding, took a wait and see approach. Hemocrit is your most important number to watch for improvement in this case.. And I was verifying everything I was being told real time with my cousins (a surgeon and an internal med doc). I would ask for photos of my lab reports and text them to my team to keep me sane..

Yeah, looks like I'm late day on the 19th, arrive at hospital at 12:00 pm. Surgery around 2 I would guess. A little surreal I think. As far as being on the losers bench, I just want to be able to sit on any bench and not have to check its support and balance to ensure it doesn't collapse under me or launch my 6 yeah old into the air when I sit down..
My list of things to get rid off post vsg:
1: xxxxx clothing. I never want to buy any thing with more than one X on it.
2: seat belt extenders on airplanes.
3: Cpap machine.
Any others?

now this is a great nerve killer. I need a hat....! Awesome..

Diet and omeprezole 20 mg once per day

I have a vivosmart as well. I've had fitbits before but I like this as you can shower/swim with it too. And it gives me messages and allows me to phone screen. I'm craigcu there as well.

Tried grape frost, the melon and finished the both off, very good cold. fruit punch was terrible. I'm going to order the smaller 4 packs through Amazon.< /p>

May the 4th be with you!
