Funny Story



Recommended Posts

Funny story... Last night I when laying on my back I thought I found a bump on my left side by my incision and started freaking out until I felt my right side and realized it had one also. I was feeling my ribs. For the first time in a long time I can feel my ribs with out pressing extra hard. It's amazing what 48 pounds has done.

Congrats! I made the same mistake. I woke up and felt a hard lump on my side. When I pressed on it, I realized it was my ribs! When you start feeling the car seat press on your butt bone, let us know! :-P I started feeling that new sensation about a month ago.

My Surgeon examining/feeling me for cancer after seeing my mammogram felt mine with surprised expression on her face. Another puzzled question came from the people viewing the cat-scan at my local hospital. They don't schedule much bariatric surgery in my low population part of the state, so my placement was done in a specialty hospital 200 miles away. It took me several moments to realize they were encountering my band! I go for days not thinking of it. I kind of chuckled at myself!

      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!!
