I'm Home

I'm Home Original Post by Janet Kwiek at 8:33 PM PST on 05/29/2007 Carol Stream, IL – RNY (05/25/2007)
It was a very intense surgery. When he opened me up he found a ton of scar tissue and adhesions that he had to remove and re-route my innards some. There was also a peach sized mass that he found and had to remove, no cancer Thank You Jesus. Then he had to fix a hiatal hernia and large ventral hernia. So I used up too much time on the table and had to get a band instead. Came home today w/anti biotics for an infection somewhere and have to see a ton of Dr.s in the next week but I'm home and on the mend.too tired to talk-thanks for all prayers-Janet

Hi Janet, I am so glad to see you are home, and the Dr. fixed you up. You get your rest and recover, I hope you are feeling better soon.

im glad your home now and no cancer. i hope you continue to feel better tomorrow. What do you mean they had to do the band instead? Do you mean you went in for a RNY but they ended up doing a lapband?

I am glad that you are home and doing as well as you are. When you feel up to chatting some more tell us about the band, I am going to assume you meant that he put in the lapband or some other type of band. Get yourself back on your feet and fight off that infection. You have some of the best doctors in that group and they will get you through it.  Christine

GLAD YOUR HOME JANET.......SOUNDS LIKE ALL WENT WELL WITH YOU!  YOU GET SOME REST AND I WILL LOOK FOWARD TO READING YOUR FUNNY COMMENTS SOON!

Dear Janet: Glad to hear that you are home and resting.  It sounds like they fixed you up pretyy good. Fight the infection and follow all other orders and I hope you will be feeling better soon.

Hi Janet!   I'm so glad to hear an update on you.  Wow, sounds like you need some serious RNR.  Listen to your body and just take it easy.  Good to hear the mass was "clean". Big Hugs!! Christina

WOW! glad to hear all went well. Glad to hear the mass was benign. Take it easy and get yourself  better. My prayers go out to you for a speedy recovery.

Oh Janet, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that.  Hopefully this is the worst of it and things will get better every day!  You have a great group of doc's looking out for you.  So hang inthere and you will be fine.
