I had my RNY on June 23rd and am in a terrible state. The surgery went ok but I ran into complications a few days later and no doctors seemed to take my pain seriously. I suffer from horrible anxiety attacks that can cause my tolerance level to take a downward dive. But after a full day in the ER, 3 days of mind numbing pain and then a follow up appointment it was determined that I needed emergency surgery to repair a hernia. The hernia was initially the size of a dime and grew to over a plum in the course of a few days post op.
Post second surgery in under a week I was sent home. Now my anxiety is so bad I can't sleep, function or care for myself or family. Has anyone else experienced anxiety at this level? I'm already taking multiple xanex a day to keep me just breathing...
So sad and regretting this surgery...
