HAD surgery on Monday, had a couple of complications, but I am home and ok!!!! I was found to have a large hiatal hernia which was unknown so was repaired and then the surgery was done, I got a small collapse of one lung which is 0k now. The worst part was severe pain in my chest and shoulders and some xtra pain in chest from the lung collapse,
The pain was controlled with strong pain meds, the nurses and docs were GREAT!, my surgeon was wonderful, very competent, and self assured.
My blood pressure kept dropping so the gave me extra fluid, that extra fluid is now in my legs or arms and god knows where else. I left for the hospital at 203 pounds and came home at 217, jeez, thought I would come home lighter. I am sure will lose the water weight. I am not able to get in 3 protein drinks in a day, and little fluids so I better feel less full soon.
I know there was someone having surg on Tues so hope they are doing well!!!
