Rushed to hospital 5 days post op



Recommended Posts

Thank you to everyone for your concern and positive thoughts. I'm told that I'm healing well and will go home tomorrow.

The surgeon could not find the source of the bleeding as it had stopped by the time he went in there. He checked my spleen and staple line and all good.

Trying to keep a positive attitude but I'm having some difficulty. I was so positive post op for 4 days.

No , no Andrew attitude is everything...Trust me it could be a lot worse!!!!!!!! Of course it could have been better too but it was not as bad as others have had it...Chin up..forward with the goal and your journey had an interesting bleep in it. A story to share someday...It makes it worth it more when you have to work for it...Keep that in mind..It is all about attitude and will power to face things when they are not going the typical way...Come on now..you got this..K

Yeah that they found nothing and you will go home soon to your own bed. I know that will make you feel so much better. God bless you and you will be positive again.

How very scary Andrew. I'm so glad you are heading home tomorrow. Hang in there, and let that positive attitude come back. It's tough after what you've been through, but keep your eye on the prize.

Here's a positive thought for you, look how this community has responded to your post. Could you have imagined this many people could be so caring and supportive?

Sending you hugs and prayers. Hang in there.

      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!!
