Not The Best Post Op Week

[kfitch 10]

Well had surgery on 6/6 and released from hospital on 6/8. I have blurry vision and started running fever last night. Went to dr this morning because I can't get anything down due to nausea. He sent me back to hospital for fluids. I am dehydrated and have a UTI. Yuck. I have to go back to hospital 2 times a week for 3 weeks for Fluid. Hope this gets better soon!!!!!

I'm so sorry! I had complications in my first week as well. It gets better, just hang in there. I know how it feels, it's har enough , let alone having more things compound the situation. To be honest, my fist two weeks were hell. But after everything was corrected and I got back on track with recovery it was 10 times better. I will send you my prayers. Take care and keep us posted.

Sending prayers your way. Hang in there. I am six weeks post-op and the first 4 weeks were horrible for me. I was put in the hospital 2 times one in which I stayed for 8 days. I actually had to go back into surgery because I could not hold down even a sip of Water without puking my guts up. I actually had a piece of scar tissue inside my stomach that was causing a small blockage. They removed it and I have improved everyday since then. Everyone kept telling me to hang in there it would get better and it does. I am actually able to eat some food now and hold down fluids.

Go and get your fluids it will make you feel so much better. It will get better. I promise you it will get better.

Please keep us posted on your progress.

My prayers are with you. My doc sent me home with 4 Scopolamine Patches for nausea that I change every few days. It's helping me with nausea. I hope you start feeling better soon.

Please realize there are a lot of us that are having complications, I've had a fever, I pulled a muscle in my stomach, I have muscle spasms in my back and the worst gas ever. I thought I was going to be a trooper, and I feel like a party pooper. Eventually it will work out though.

Thanks for all the words of encouragment. I know it will get better I just have to hang in there. I see people on here that go back to work a week out and I feel like a wimp. I guess we all heal at different stages. I have the patch on but it is not working so well. As they this to shall pass.

Kfitch, seriously, I have said the same thing you said. I feel like a wimp. Actually the skin around my drain is infected and the gas I keep getting is overwhelming, I cough in my sleep and strain. The pain is bad, I have gotten depressed and I honestly thought I was a very strong person. I've gone through c-sections, hysterectomy, gallbladder out, obviously my complications have set me back a bit, and I know that one day, hopefully soon I'll be feeling better. It just isn't today. My thoughts are with you.
