Two Week Post-Op Check-In
10/8/12 – start of my pre-op two week liquid diet, 243.5 pounds.
10/22/12 – surgery day RYN and gallbladder removal, 235.0 pounds.
The RYN only took 1 ½ hours and the gallbladder took 2 hours because it was encased in endometriosis and adhesions. NO MORE PAIN! Thus far no compilations (thank you GOD). Gas has been a bit of an issue since I started eating more foods. Gas-X seems to be help so far.
As of today 11/4/12 I weigh 217.5 pounds. Total Down from pre-op diet = 26 pounds; total down from surgery date 17.5 pounds.
My surgeon used Dermabond instead of staples or stitches on the outer incisions which was wonderful. Made for an easier recovery for me.
I would like to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I stressed out more than I should have. I remember walking the day after surgery with my dad saying, I guess it’s too late to take it back now. As of right now I am not taking any of my blood pressure meds. Before surgery I took 5 pills a day. Right now it is low (96/63). I have an appointment with my PCP in two weeks so he can keep an eye on it.
This last week I started crying over everything. I’m not sad or depressed, just crying????
Will keep you all updated.
