Angel Report on Sherry (Sher's Journey)
So happy to hear she has come out of surgery OK. She will be disappointed, but once she realizes her life is better as a result of it, she'll be OK.
I had to have a longer common channel than I wanted due to my large fatty liver. Dr Inman felt she would risk my life by making it shorter, so she did what she felt was best for me.
You have to appreciate surgeons who take your health first!

Hi all!
Quick input considering my usual wordiness.
I didn't put out a renegade post yesterday because yes, I was disappointed but I'm grateful to Dr. K for continuing to put my health first. It was nothing either of us did wrong, it's just unfortunate that the liver was so enlarged but the right thing was done and I'm ok with it now.
Now I just have to unlearn 4 years of nutritional info. until next year and learn about this sleeve! Hopefully the lovely Miss Julie will keep her wings for the next phase of this :)
My pain is about a 5 unless I'm moving much like initially standing or sitting up then we shoot to an 8. I'm off the pump now, on Lortab, and taking some gas drops that are helping less than I'd like.
Sleep has been my biggest deficit, it seems whenever I sleep someone comes in or an alarm goes off. My longest solid sleep was last night from 2:30 - 4am when the lab came in.
My upper GI was excellent and I've had about 6 oz of Unjury today.
That's about all I can muster for now, but I'm grateful for all of your well wishes.
Best,
Sherry

Hi Sherry - I wanted to bump this post to the top of the list so that others would see how you're doing. I hope you continue to improve with your pain level. Do you think you're going home tomorrow? Give me a call if you feel up to it - I'll be on the road most of the day, heading back up to Ludington after getting my youngest moved into her dorm room.
Hugs!

Hi Sherry, so glad to see you finally got your surgery, or the first part anyway. I thought of you this past weekend when i was in Michigan and pictured you moving to the other side of the state to be near some good surgeons. I really think you will fare well with this first part and keep everyone informed of your status. I have not been coming here often, but read in once in a while.
