Bill survived the 5 hour surgery!



Recommended Posts

My husband Bill had lung cancer. He was under the knife for 5 hours after them delaying the surgery that was scheduled for 7:30 the night before to noon in the morning and he actually went at 2:30. The surgery itself was a success. They were able to do it with small incisions and not crack his ribs thank God. Because of all your prayers the surgeon's hands were guided by God. But in intensive care it was a nightmare. They had to tie him down so he wouldn't pull out the tubes especially the breathing tube. When I saw my strong man all tied up and a tube down his throat it was too much for me. He looked like he was dead. I broke down and had to get out of there. I stayed at my youngest boys house and did manage to get 4 hrs sleep. Getting ready to go back. My middle son stayed in hospital room with him.

Please continue to pray for his recovery. Thank you.

My prayers are with you and your family. I went through this with my brother this past April. Thankful to God that he made it. They removed half of his right lung and he is going through radiation in 2 months. He started chemotherapy right after he had his surgery. Your DH is in great hands as long as you leave him in Gods.

So glad to hear he made it through the surgery well and with a less invasive procedure. It's hard seeing a loved one in a state like he was, but just give it a few days and prayerfully all will be much better. Don't forget to take care of yourself during this time, make sure you are getting plenty of rest, fluids and don't forget to eat as well. I will be praying for a speedy recovery. Take care and God bless!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
