Christee,

Where are you located? So i know which one to pick..

Hi I am in HOffman Estates, IL

THANKS!!

Day 13 of hospital stay. Still wanting to go home. Can't keep fluids down at all. Not ice chips,water, nothing. Blood pressure this morning only 95/60. So they are pushing fluids in me like crazy. Now found out I have a rash on my arm. Maybe from antibiotics, but they are not sure. Feel like I took twenty steps back. I was doing so well I could do laps around the floor like crazy. Now I did half a lap yesterday had to stop twice and when got back to room couldn't stop dry heaving. On a brighter note maybe I will get a shower today. Hoping it gets better so I can go home tomorrow.

Praying for you! I wish there was so much more I could do. Hang in there u have had a great attitude so far! Keep it up!

I have sent friend request so I can get added to the group

Hopefully getting better!! Today was a much better day. Took a shower. After 13 days with a drain tube And pic lines that was a huge accomplishment. Hoping to take another one tomorrow! I was able to go on two half laps around hospital floor...without throwing up after = miracle!! Funny thing is the surgeon came by and apologized because they admitted yep admitted to letting me get way beyond dehydrated. But since they have been pushing iv fluids in me like crazy I am feeling better! Biggest items were I drank 16oz of water and 12 oz chicken broth and kept everything in!!! I hope I have turned the corner! My hubby has been such a great support. He's here everyday. Such a good man. Married 18 years and counting. My parents will be back in town tomorrow or Tuesday so I am also looking forward to seeing them. Thanks everyone for your support and kind words and prayers. Only people on this board really understand how hard this is. I would not go back aNd change anything, or cancel the surgery. I just happened to be the 1/100 or however many that just ran into issues. I will tell you that if you are in pain or you think something is wrong get to your dr ASAP!!

I've missed reading up on everyone. I'm 4 weeks post op and readmitted to the hospital yesterday. I will likely be here for a week or so. I thought I had pulled a muscle in the left side last week, but after a couple of days of icky fever and a CT scan it turns out I have "retroperitoneal inflammation involving lymph nodes". I'm a wound care nurse so I only heard blah blah blah. Google tells me it's a big deal, but there seems to be no consensus on the cause. If its not related to my RNY surgery I have seriously bad timing. Hope the world is treating everyone else a bit kinder.

Kraney...thinking of you always. Get better soon.
