BAD MONTH SO FAR - car accident, band too tight, appendicitis

[jessicakolman 3]

So...

At the beginning of this month my band was way too tight. I was having problems keeping down even chicken broth.< img src="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png" alt=":)" srcset="https://s.bariatricpal.com/uploads/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" /> So I went in and explained my delema. It had been 3 weeks since I had my last fill and thought that the acid reflux and throwing up was because I was just swelled. Nope. Went in, then took the saline out of my band. ALL THE SALINE. They wanted me to go on a band vacation. For 2 weeks. So I did.

Then the next week I got into a minor car accident in my brand new car by the way, that I got in January :thumbup: So I have to pay $500 for that crap to get i repaired.

Then...

This past Wednesday I was at work for about an hour and started feeling this bad pain in my lower right side of my stomach. Then I produced a fever, then I started throwing up. I left home at around 2am. (My shift is 7pm-7am) I got home threw up some more and then went to sleep. I got up drove my husband into work because I had to go get my fill that day, well, I drove him in dropped him off. As I got out of the car I noticed that the pain just hit me. I started crying. I told Jason I'm fine and got back in the car and started driving. Keep in mind he works at a hospital so I was in the right place to be having this pain. As I drove down the street I was hunched over. I said screw this, and pulled over in the ER parking lot. I went in and explained my situation. Next thing I know I'm getting an IV and pain meds and a CT scan, Ultrasound, Pelvic Exam, blah blah blah. The PA suspected that I had appendicitis. They got the CT scan back and saw a blockage in my appendix called a fecal stone. They said that they would likely take my appendix out or keep me overnight. She had the surgery team come downstairs and examine me and look @ the CT scan. They told me that what they saw wasn't enough for surgery:ohmy: I was so confused. First the PA tells me I better get this thing out or it will burst and the surgeon tells me to go home?? WTF? Well I finally threw a bitch fit and told them i'm in way too much pain to go home so they kept me overnight. The next morning the surgeon came back in and said because of my pain they wanted to do "exploritory surgery" - right.. ok. So I get up to preop and the surgeon said that most likely he's just gonna take the appendix out. Long story short he does and finds that the appendix was swelled and inflamed. I TOLD YOU BASTARDS THAT IT WAS. Ugh.. people are dumb..

So now I sit writing this as I'm recovering from my surgery I had on Friday and I'm planning on going back to work on Thursday.

:waytogo:

Hope I'm off the percocet by then.

Prayers your way for a speedy recovery. Hopefully, you will be in no more pain and your band will go back to doing what it is supposed to.

Sorry about your car, but that is just a "thing", you are much more important than a thing.

Take care.

OMGoodness! What a month you are having! Hope it is nothing but smooth sailing from here on out!

Poor you! I agree that you're probably "done" though. All of these things are temporary and now you're due for a run of good luck!

So update -- AS i started feeling better from the surgery -- I found out today after being in some severe pain for the past couple of days-- I have a kidney stone now!! Fricken lovely! Is there a black cloud over me?

[BusyMom1961 1]

Just think, once you are through all this, how easy the band will feel.

Good things are coming your way, I am sorry that so many things are not going good right now.

You are a trooper ------ hang in there. Take care of yourself. I wish that there was something I could do to make you feel a little better.

If you don't object, please send me your address in the mail, I would like to send you a little something in the mail. Getting something in the mail always makes me feel better.
