Surgery day!
Aug 26, 2011
Surgery day went well, I arrived at the hosp at 11:20am was taken back to a holding room, my IV was started, no small feat there, I ALWAYS have trouble with IVs they can never find a vein, but it was my lucky day! no poking and prodding it slid right in, yeah. my parents and hubby were allowed to sit with me. I was seen by the Anesthesiologist and my surgeon for last min question. . I was wheeled back at 1:20, right on time DR. Choban said think of some place very warm a very nice beach, as someone was applying a O2 mask and I don't remember anything else until someone said, Mrs,....... its over and your doing fine. I felt like there were bricks on my abdomen I dosed in and out for a while could not keep my eyes open they wouldn't focus any way. soon I was taken to my room, where Jess my Rn told me I was doing great and she put a PCA controller in my hand and said you might want to push that. I was also on a insulin drip, because my sugar was way out of control, I'm not diabetic but was for 18 hrs after surgery, I was told to expect that. I had a cath in, it was removed the next am then I was taken down for an upper GI, the radiologist remarked no leaks, said DR Choban did your surgery right? I said yes and he said well that's a given, she does good work, good to hear. the Iv came out on Tuesday evening and I was released after 2 meals Wednesday and home by 4pm. I got car sickness on the way home. dry heaving but nothing came up, good thing I'm sure that would have hurt.The staff was great at MT Carmel medical center. they took good care of me. I'm glad its over, now if the gas would move...........during surgery they also repaired my hiatal hernia! 2 for 1 deal hope it doesn't delay healing time.
