it’s worth it .... how did surgery go?

[CharlotteWebb 275]

My surgery took 6 hours. Lots of complications with the hernias. I ended up with a collapsed lung and surgical emphysema (crackling skin chest neck face).

Had a chest tube to allow space for my lung to reinflate, it worked. Had a rough first few days. Made it work.
Lots of swelling and almost a week post op.
One day at a time. It is improving. Tylenol is my friend.

[med28thmed 118]

Wow, my goodness....praying you recover quickly.

How long did you end up staying at the hospital? Are you able to walk now?

Take it easy.

Yes, One day at a time.

So glad you are okay girl..
I had a hernia repair when I had my sleeve surgery too and it will have to be done again too.??
Did they say why your lung would collapse or did you have problems with the sleeve surgery as well??
Speedy recovery.
