So I went in on 12/2 for my revision.  Everything went well with pre-op preparation.  I was wheeled in to OR and that's all I remember until I woke up in recovery hours later.

I aked for my husband first and then I saw him and the Dr.  They both informed me that due to the "mess" inside of me they had to Open me up to fix the many adhesions and do the Revision.

I went up to my room shortly after and was very sore and tired.  I was in the hospital until 12/4 and the first 2 days at home were hard.  But I got plenty of rest and liquid percocet was my friend.

Getting in the fluids are hard because I'm just not hungry/thirsty.

First follow appoinment was yesterday 12/10 and I'm down 9 lbs.  I've moved to Stage 2 Pureed and so far not going so well.  Yogurt was ok (I had 2 teaspoons).  Protein Shake with Skim Milk went through me practically, so next time I'm going to try with water instead.  Scrambled egg this am is doing slightly better but I only had about 2 tablespoons of that.

surgery scheduled for 10:45AM have to be at the hospital by 8:45AM...excited, anxious, fearful, happy...missing my babies already!

Day 1...and feeling hungry.

well I had my final appointment on friday with my surgeon.  he mentioned I had "stones" so I might need to have my gallbladder removed.  I had my blood work done then and I saw my PCP today. She said my EKG and blood work was fine and she'd fax the surgeon with my release.

so I'm on my way...I start my liquid diet on Wed and Dr.said I could have a few bites of turkey and some mashed potatoes on Thursday LOL

so I finally connected with the scheduler/insurance person at the surgeon's office.  If I get approval my surgery will be on December 2nd.d I have to have a physical and history with my PCP before then, and a visit on 11/21 with the surgeon.

Last Monday was the last of it...I finished my visit with the Pulmonary Dr., had my blood work and EKG.

So I called Drs office on Monday to speak to the insurance person and  left a message to see if she has everything in order.

Her message said to give her 3 business days to respond...so I will be calling on Friday if I don't hear from her sooner.

been sleeping with my C-PAP since Monday and doing well.  It scared my son the first night and he wouldn't come near me until I took it off (he still has a habit of coming into our room at night!).  I had to change the pillows from small to medium because the small kept going up my nostrils.

I bought some protein powder and been making protein drinks.  Not too bad and I'm down a total of 5 lbs. so far.

 

will finally be delived on May 12th.  It's taken a while because of my schedule...so that means I will spend Mother's Day cleaning my house :)

I went back on Wednesday night and had the second part.  She said I slept very soundly. I felt like I was up all night!

Before I left, she said that I would be getting a call from the Home Health Agency about my C-Pap, so I'm still waiting for that.

The same night I had my 2nd NUT visit. I lost only 4 ounces, but we talked about adding fiber and drinking more water.

was on Sunday night.  It was painless (LOL). 

I woke up at 5:00 and she said that I should plan on being back for part 2 on Wednesday because she noted a few occurences.
