May 07, 2008

Hello everyone!  I am sorry I haven't really written yet.  My surgery was last wed.  I was having lap bypass.  Well, once I was out of recovery and what I could remember I had lap and open.  Right at the last moment when trying to connect my small intestines to my new pouch there was a thick roll of fat that he just couldn't get through.  HE tried very hard.  Dr. Byrne did not want to make it open, but he had too.  So I have about 50 staples.  The days in the hospital were ruff.  They just mainly keep me on pain meds.  Also said I had sleep apnea so I was on a C Pat thingy.  I had a tube down my nose and one in my tummy.  I was released from the hospital on Sunday.  I went back on Tuesday to have the drain in my tummy removed was causing pain.  I think they took the tube in my nose out on Saturday.  That was when I go to finally drink something!!  Heck it could have been friday.  Some of the hospital was just a blur.  BUT THEY WERE ALL FANTASTIC!!  They were right there if I needed anything!!  Plus the support from my family also.  
  As of today, I am feeling much better.  Eating and drinking.  Though I do feel like I am always thursty.  My husband has been great fixing me food for me!!  I know when I went back on Tuesday I had lost 7 lbs.  They said the pumped me with so much fluid after surgery, she was sure it added a few pounds.  So right now I am just taking it day by day.  Each day is getting better and better.  I just can't get a full nights rest.  I usually get about 2 to 3 hours then I am up again...  But I just wanted to let you all know how it is going.  Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.  I can't sit here for long, it starts to hurt.  So I will end here.  I can't finally say that I am a Looser in a good way!!
