I had a robotic lap surgery. I had to have everything taken' date=' right down to the lymph nodes due to my precancerous state. The problems I'm having isn't from the hysterectomy itself, but improper placement of the catheter. The tried to replace it 3 times to no avail :'-( so right now I am able to go off antibiotics for a week and then I get the pain in my bladder and a UTI. It is ridiculous. I have a cystoscopy set up for next Friday. The will have a looksy into my bladder to see what damage was done. Hopefully nothing major. If its permanent, lawsuit will be coming around.

Also, if you can postpone til after finals, that would be better. You will need 2-3 weeks and that is w the robot assisted laparoscopic surgery. You'll have the gassiness again, ugh. Plus for me it was heck of a lot more painful than the RNY. Probably due to complications.

Just tell them to make sure they place catheter properly. Good luck. I will have you in my thoughts!!!

Thank you. I already warned my teachers the following week I will be there but I will be drugged up and will only stay an hour not the whole 3. My gallbladder surgery was worst then my rny too so I am scared of this one. I had my gallbladder surgery in December and just as two weeks ago I am able to lay in my left side without the pulling feeling inside

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
