From marathon to hospital - boo
Just thought I'd report that on Wednesday I ate lunch and almost immediately after I was in intense pain. I thought I was really bad gas, admit stomach proofed up huge. But I could barely walk and eventually I was on the floor. My co-worker convinced me to go to the hospital. Down to St. mike's I went and they took me in right away and got me pain meds fast. Try first talked about maybe a gall stone hanging around (I had my gallbladder removed in July), but then they worried about obstruction. I had a CT scan and they could see there was a blockage of some sort. Went in to surgery for a look see at 4 pm yesterday and they found that the fat lining on the outside of our stomachs called omentum had wrapped itself around my colon, which had adhesions from the RNY. I think I have that right. I'm a bit drugged still. So the sudden pain was from the final wrap around the colon.
So they won't guarantee it won't happen again, and I'm lucky I came in. Feeling like I've been punched in the stomach 1,000 times. But I'm still here. Won't be running anytime soon lol
