RNY IS A TOTAL DISASTER

Jul 29, 2010

I had my surgery May 4th,  two weeks later was being treated with a drain for an internal abcess.  After two weeks drain was removed and  one day later I was back in the hospital with the same infection only worse, 102 fever.  Put in hospital and another drain added.  was in hospital for 7 weeks, during which time, another mid line abcess opened externally and my appendix went hot and had to be removed.   I was put on so many antibioitcs that I then got an infection called C.dief which I am still figthing.  there was a real chance during this time that I was not going to make it.   I was released from the hospital last thusday, home with care, uncontrollable diarrhea, unable to walk, without a walker, major oedema, etc. etc.
Am I a happy camper NOT.   right now I am in the process of cancelling my reservation to the conference as I cannot walk or drive.  I am told it will be at least 14 weeks before I am close to normal.  
Very bitter feelings right now.
