Back at the motel 5 days post op

Hi Everyone, I had the RNY on 06/07 (also a band removal, chole, and partial gastrectomy). The surgeries were uneventful, per the surgeon, everything went great. S/P surg though, I had a rectal hemorrhage of unkown etiology. I was receiving Heparin SQ but my surgeon doesn't think it was the cause. And honestly, who knows. I lost 3 units, had a transfusion and the bleeding quit within 24 hrs of incept. This delayed my discharge considerably. I am finally back at the motel today. I have seen clearly my great blessings through these events. My husband is a ministering angel who cared for me tenderly. And God Bless nurses who care for their own with a personal passion & tenderness. The nurses at Community Memorial @ Ventura CA couldn't have been more wonderful. For those of you who wait, I wouldn't have changed my mind had I forseen the complications. I have no clue yet about wt loss. That will blessedly take care of itself at the moment. I finally got a protein shake today. It felt pretty good to have something other than a clear liquid on board. I am using my husband's laptop to post. I won't be "home" until Monday. I will post again then. I'm thinking of Sandra T. who was in line right behind me. Has anyone heard anything? Sandie

I've been wondering about you. I knew you had gone out of town so I figured I wait a few more days before getting worried. I'm so glad you are doing well, bumps in the road and all. {{{HUGS}}} My surgery is on 6-21
