Tubbing Came Apart from Band

[Teresita 0]

LSasha experienced pain in her lower stomach Friday evening and slowly increased Saturday afternoon. She went to the the ER on the suggestion of her doctor. She had many test done ie scan, sonogram, etc. She was admitted early in the weee hours Sunday morning because her doctor said he wanted to keep her overnight to do floro Monday morning. When the doctor came in on Sunday morning he told her that her tubbing had came apart. When I visited her in the hospital she was fine because they just gave her something to ease the pain. Her doctor pushed his other surgeries back and did an emergency surgery Monday morning.

LSasha is doing well, they used the port incesion and 3 new sites for this surgery. They said they put salaine in her band so she will be on liquids. I do not know how much of a fill she received or how the tubing came apart. She is going to ask all those questions this morning. She should be back to work on Monday.

Oh no, poor baby! I think my tubing coming apart from my band is my biggest fear, more so than erosion. Every time I turn over in the bed, that thought crosses my mind.

Wish her the best for me.

I did not know that was even possible to happen. I am glad that they were able to diagnose it so quickly and get it taken care of.. My prayers for a speedy recovery.

Please let LSasha know that I'm praying for her speedy recovery. That very same thought crossed my mind the other day, if it is possible for the tubing to come apart? Now I know.

Thank you guys for the well wishes. I told LSasha about your wishes. She is getting out this morning and doing well. She sounds good. The tubing came a loose at the port so she got a new port.

This is not the way I wanted time off from work.

Thanks to everyone for the prayers and well wishes, they are much appreciated.

Going to try to give the short version. Friday night I had pains in my pelvic area. I thought nothing of it took some Tylenol and went to bed. Sat. the pains were on & off, that still wasnt going to stop me from meeting w/Teresa & family at Ruby Tues...nope I wanted my 4-way sampler:laugh. As we were leaving Ruby Tues. the pains were increasing and she urged me to call the resident on duty at the hospital. He told me to go to the ER. After waiting over 4 hrs. I finally get called back and had a number of test (CT scan, sonogram of my ovaries and pelvic exam). They must have hired this ER doctor from Romper Room, Sesame Street or something b/c he told me everything was normal and for me to call my surgeon and PCP on Mon. b/c he was sending me home....I was actually dressed and ready to leave. Luckily my surgeon was in the hospital doing another surgery, he came down and told me to wait b/c he wanted to view the results. The pain I was experiencing was an UTI (stop laughing Teresa). Had I not had the UTI pain, I would've never had those test ran, thus never finding as as soon as I did that the tubbing from my port (not band) came apart. The tubbing was just hanging around in me chillin', eating a sandwich, watching HGTV and I had no idea or symptoms. Monday 7:30am, I had a revision in which he replaced my port and gave me an adjustment of 1.66cc. Aside from the fact that I look like I was the target at a shooting range (incisions), all is well and I'm to follow the "after the fill" diet for a few days. This surgery was actually easier than my initial surgery...I'm a little stiff and sleepy from all those 2am vital checks and blood drawings.

Special thanks to momba Teresa (and her friend Linda and Linda's momba) who came to visit me w/a goodie bag, cards and a balloon. Also, Karen who called w/wonderful support. I had just received a shot of morphine so I dont know what I was saying to either one of you...just blame it on the Dr. Feelgood.:devious

I just got off the phone with LSasha and she sounds great. My advice to her was not to try to push it. Take her time and let her war wounds heal. LOL!!!!

She is sick...LOL....mentally. LaTasha is feeling so well that she made it to the TOPS meeting and stayed for the whole meeting. She is looking well and is being silly. She get's the new crown and title (Ms. UTI). Thank God for them. LOL now go drink some cranberry juice and eat some yogurt. LMBO
