Thanks for the swinging critters, your good thoughts and prayers!!
Oh babe that's a hell of a situation. I am so glad they got this sorted. Thanks for posting this. I am sooo glad you made it home for the surgery too honey. The thought of a non-bariatric surgeon trying to tackle this is a little scary to say the least.
Glad you're recovering and don't sweat the actelasis they resolve with moving and deep breathing. Keep an eye out for temps spiking in case they turn into a chest infection. I found coughing regularly helped with the re-inflation but be careful of your poor belly!

RIP Mickie aka Happychick. You will be missed deeply.
Oh Lord. What a harrowing story. So glad you got that sorted out! You are very brave. Thank you for sharing your story with us--you never know when you're going to need to know this kind of thing.

Big hugs!!!! I am soooo glad you are doing better! You are so amazing, I don't even know how you went through what you did and are so upbeat about everything. You look gorgeous and I hope you recover completely really fast!!!

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away
You gotta make a decision
You leave tonight or live and die this way

Well, well, well, MIssy, we've been awfully concerned about you. I'm so glad you're back home.
I also had a kinked bowel and internal hernia, but fortunately, mine was easily fixed by a 1.5 hour lap procedure. You, however, have been through the wringer. I'm so glad all of those NY gals helped you out so much. What a great community this is.
Rest up!
