So to make a long story short, this what has been going on.I came home after leaving school and they admitted me to the hospital for 3 days.
They then let me go home with new meds and a new plan to make me feel better.
I then went back into the hospital for fluids December 16 came home throwing up
constantly. I was then admitted the 17 I was there until December 26.
They pretty much said I was not leaving until they fixed me.
I sat in the hospital not know what was going on for days. On Monday 21 they put
a scope down my throat to see if they could see a stricture and try dilate my sleeve to
fix my acid reflux problem. So they did that and dilated my sleeve. Well it didn't work as
well for my reflux and all of our options were exhausted and we had to turn to surgery..
The gastric bypass would resolve the reflux. So on Dec 23 I went into surgery for the bypass.
Not only did they do the surgery but they also took my gall badder out and added a
feeding tube as a precaution, because if I couldn't eat or drink we could use that.
I was in a for a really really rough recovery. So I was in the hospital recovering for
3 more days until they discharged me. Spending Christmas and pretty much my entire break :(
I have been in so much pain and I have really been down emotionally. I have my
feeding tube - which is the most painful thing I have ever experienced on the left side
of my stomach and then I have 2 draining tubes on my right side. I feel just terrible.
I get my drains out Monday and I'm not sure how long the feeding tube will be in.
I'm freaking out having two WLS in less than one month and I am pretty much second
guessing my decision to get the surgery to begin with... It's not even about weight loss
anymore its about my health and getting back to my life which has come to a screeching halt.
