Andrew

you probably feel better in your comfy bed, and own pillow :)

wow, going to hospital you had to brave through a snow storm - then again going home?? :o

where do you live??? are there igloos around you?? ;)

what exactly did they do during the 2nd surgery??? don't remember :huh:

glad you are feeling "alittle" better

recovery from one surgery can be hard, you have 2 under your belt

so glad that you have good support from family and friends :)

The second surgery addressed my internal bleeding. If was done as emergency surgery Sunday morning. By the time he got in there the bleeding had stopped so we don't know the source of the bleeding. He expected that but saiid it was important to clean out the blood as it would have caused additional problems like a leak.

I am so pleased you do not have a leak...That is not fun and it takes a long time to get better from that one...thank your lucky stars your home and on the mend!!!!

<p>Why were you rushed to the hospital, you have never really explained what caused it?</p>

He was feeling weak, and by the time he got to the ER his BP was dangerously low....he had internal bleeding but by the time they took him for surgery the bleeding stopped so they don't know exactly where the bleeding was from.

Thanks again for everything, everyone!!

I'm feeling pretty good now, 5 days out from my second surgery and 10 days out from my sleeve surgery. Feeling some pressure in my stomach area but I wouldn't call it pain.

After coming home from sleeve surgery I really felt great and it wasn't until 4 days out when I had the internal bleeding problem. So, while I'm feeling pretty good now (again), I'm also very much so on-guard this time.

      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!!
