Topic: complication......
Hi everyone,
This morning I went in for surgery, was on operating table by 8:15 am. I remember counting down from 10......and then waking up in the rocovery room...
Unfortunately my surgery did not happen, when they went in with the camera, my doctor noticed that my spleen was enlarged. Toooo risky for them to do the surgery. Long story short, I have to pass a test on my spleen to make sure all is ok. I can redo my surgery as early as early as 2 weeks but it has to be done at the hospital. An enlarged spleen can cause hemmerage and the hospital is better equipped for complications.....
so long story short, i am home, i have to cuts...
I'm o.k, somewhat dissapointed....but so proud that Dr. Denis is my doctor. He is amazing, so kind and reassuring.

Well I can tell you first hand that for me the surgery was "uneventful"...and that is a good thing. One minute you're chatting with the nurses in the OR and the next you wake up in the recovery room.
Yes it may be a bit uncomfortable but hey...it is surgery and you've had 3 kids...I was in for less than 24 hours and was fine going home. I have 3 flights of stairs at home and no problem.
Getting in and out of bed and sitting position may be a tad challenging and I felt that sleeping was also but more because I'm not a back sleeper and my back got sore.
I was ready to go back to work easily after about 10 days but I had taken the time sooooo.
So stay positive and think of all the super amazing things that are in store for you...look at me my surgery was January 10th 2012 and am down over 130 pounds!!! I feel fantastic am at the gym 5 times a week and love to go out and do things.
So take the time to enjoy this journey. Good luck and keep us posted.
