Post-op complications?

[hende289 1]

Hi all. My surgery was on May 16th, the 1st week was going okay, no vomiting no pain, just a lot of gas that would only come out as a belch. I was having bowel movements so the Dr said to give it more time. By Monday May 30 I was back in the hospital. I was vomiting, couldn't keep anything other than liquids down. Turns out part of my intestines was pinched shut. A full week here in the hospital, but finally feeling better after a second surgery to correct the blockage. All the posts I see people are doing great after surgery with no problems. Anyone else here have any complications?

Yes there are plenty asking for help and advice on here. Me included. If you read the back pages of the forum [it goes back 20 years] Some people get away trouble free but about 1 % [ my guesstimate] have small hiccups at the start. My incision line swelled and took a long time to go down, so going through the stages of re introducing foods was harder for me. By 4 months things began to be easier. I have zero regrets
