Surgery Question????

Kristine, Thanks hun ~Hugs~ Debra P

Hi deb, I dont really have an answer for your question, but I do remember my surgeon telling me, that it was common for blood to leak into the pouch right after surgery - which causes nausea. ...just thought I would pass that on!! Marcy

Marcy, Thanks hun, that is good to know... Debra P

What?!? Blood leaking anywhere isn't normal nor common. What surgeon told you this?

I was told this by my surgeon, who is well known in the western ny area. He is also a professer who teaches this surgery at the local university. I didnt imply that its normal for it to happen often, he told this can happen directly afterwards and it will cause nausea, which makes sense with all the cutting and re-arranging going on. None of us are doctors, and I was just trying to be helpful!

Marcy, Thanks hun for the info......i was just looking to see if this happens at all since the Dr's were not giving much info but as of today is has stopped but she still have the upset feeling but I think we all went through that for a little bit.. Thanks again hun ~hugs~ Debra P

Deb, Did she have any tests done to rule out a problem, most importantly a CT-scan and an upper GI? Did they come back ok? Geez this is what I am talking with doctors. It's like pulling teeth. I hope she feels better soon though.
