Follow up appt. with surgeon....
I cant believe how very sick I have felt since surgery. I am always very neauseated, have a very extreme pain in the middle of my stomach and dry heaves which about kill me and diaherra. I was released Thursday (June 26th) and went back to emergency room Friday it was so unbearable. The surgeon wanted me to go clear back to Portland but I couldnt really afford the gas for another trip.. so he let me go to emergency room here locally as long as they called him and he could tell them what he wanted. Thank god.. I didnt want to make that trip again!! They took many test, cat scan, xray and blood work and said it all came back good. Filled me with IV fluids, neausea meds and pain killers and sent me home. The surgeon said he thinks I caught a gastroenal bug during surgery and said that happens sometimes. I went to see my surgeon today (Wed. July 2 = a week since surgery) and he said he thinks the bug is just about out of my system now and that i'm on the downhill side of things and that things should start feeling much better for me in these next days to come. I cant wait for that t o happen!!! It seems though as long as I take the neausea medicine and the pain pills I honestly can handle most of whats going on with me now. I dont want to live off these pills for the rest of my life though so I hope it turns around soon! I also got on the scale at the surgeons offce today.. one week post op.. i'm down 10 lbs!

I'm lower than I have been in 5 yrs so it made me feel good to see that! So thats where things stand as of now.. just waiting for that day I can say I feel fantastic like everyone else!!

Oh my gosh! I just read your blog. I'm so sorry about all you have gone through. I will pray that you are on the road to recovery now. Once that they get the bug under control I'm hoping the rest of your journey will seem pretty easy! Just know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 10 lbs.!

Hey Tina, I am glad you are home and out of the hospital. I am sorry that things have been rough for you. It does sound like things are going to start looking up for you though. Hang in there girl!
