So, update for me: had surgery at 1240 on 01/16, it took approximately 4.5 hours due to excess scar tissue. Came out and my heart rate shot up to 170's. Dr eventually called two rapid responses one of which turned into a code blue. Apparently, I was having a anaphylactic reaction to Dilaudid and needed to be intubated and bagged. Now I have a GI Bleed. I spent Thursday through Sunday night in the ICU.

At this point, I am regretting this surgery. I hesitated to tell everyone my surgery story because I didn't want to deter anyone from following your passions. My situation was rare but yes, it did happen. Perhaps, one of these days when the unrelenting pain subsides, I can look back and be optimistic on my thinner future, but as of right now, I do have regrets.

I don't want to be a Debbie downer, because for some of us, it's our only chance at happiness and a healthy life. But just listen to your body. I wish everyone many thoughts and prayers of a speedy recovery.
