Stitches Infected (Caution: Long)



Recommended Posts

Sorry you had to endure that. You should not have deal with their ignorance along with feeling like crap. Do they not think anyone that has surgery in the US ever gets infections? It happens daily. Oh well, some people are too closed-minded to be breathing the same air as us. I hope your husband changed their attitudes real quick and if not, you should report them. They don't deserve the licenses they are "working" under.

Hope you feel better soon.smile.gif

Thanks so much everyone for your support and yes hubby really was my knight in shining armour again! I am feeling better after being ordered by hubby to bedrest and the antibiotics seem to be working against the infection. He will be taking the advice of Beadingnurse and others and filing several formal complaints against both the hospital and surgery center. We shall see what becomes of it. Yes it pisses me eoff as well and now that I am feeling better, I would love a face to face meeting with all parties involved to give them a few choice words. But I am just thankful I did get treated and will do as advised and let the correct authorities handle them.

I just wanted to say thank you. While you can't change what happened to you, you can force the offending parties to be accountable. Your actions will probably save others from the same type of mis-treatment.

Agreed! Thanks for not letting such inappropriate behavior slide. It should not be tolerated anywhere.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
