I had surgery on Mon oct 19th was only supposed to spend one night. I had a lot of scar tissue the doc had to take out(from colon cancer 10 yrs ago) it seemed the surgery went well. but I had a fever in recovery-my blood pressure was way low and my heart rate was way too high. I tried to stand up and almost hit the floor if not for hubby.I was rushed back into OR because of internal bleeding. in the last three days have had 2 blood transfusions and both hands and arms so bruised up from needles and I.V.'s finally my hemoglobin numbers got up again so I was discharged today. now seems I can focus on the sleeve part. pretty bruised up on my stomach and hard to get in and out of bed but I continue to walk and take my pain med. I weighed in the day of surgery 229 and today I weight 240 omg so glad I was warned of this. all I have had over the 3 days all together is maybe a cup of broth-two runny jellos= and a non caffine tea. but I am still so glad I was able to have this surgery.I did wake up with shoulder and neck pain from the gas but has gone down a lot. ask for pain meds they will help. I am not hungry so far. but making sure I get in the liquids now that I am off saline. If I sip too fast it makes me burp and my throat hurt. ok off to night night.
