Hi Ladies.....

Well I am at the 6 week mark... I am still very swollen and had my drains in for 4 weeks and finally over the colitis (C DIFF) that I got from the antibiotic. My belly button died and because I was so sick from the colitis I couldn't get back in the OR right away. Yesterday my hubby and I went to the Jersey Shore to have a nice day together and I doubled over in pain walking along the boardwalk I made home but it got worse and I ended up in the ER for 14 hours ugh and after many tests to add to my stress I now have a umbilical hernia I am sooo frustrated I see the surgeon on Thursday ...Wish me luck ...

Kelly,

I'm so sorry you are having so many issues. I hope you recover and feel better soon. I can't imagine having drains in so long. You are in my prayers.

I feel bad for complaining about my upper abs with all that you are going through. I am frustrated after paying so much all out of pocket and not be satisfied.

Keep us posted.

I am wondering how your surgery went?? Did your insurance agree to pay for any of it?? Have you on my mind...hope all is well. How is the recovery going??

Thanks Sue. I am sure I will be terrified by the time July 13 gets here- lol. I will be a hot mess by then I am nearly positive. Luckily my hubby will be home take care of the kids (all 3 of em). How long is the typical hospital stay?

So I was able to get in w/a general surgeon on Wed at 9am and then I see the plastic surgeon on Thursday. I am hoping for the best I am exhausted and so frustrated. Thank you all for the warm wishes I need them...I will keep you updated.

Well what they thought was an umbilical hernia turns out to be a full hernia under my port and my port is getting caught in it UGH so it explains all the pain.... I am seeing my bariatric surgeon on Thursday and see what the end result will be either surgery or wait and see if I will continue to heal.

I am going out for a martini I deserve it....Have a great weekend

FINALLLLLLLLLLLLY .... I am so happy to hear.....make sure you get some restrictive pants although I had major set backs they made a huge difference. Please stay in touch and let me know how you are doing. I meet with my bariatric surgeon on Thursday because my hernia is under my port so we shall see what will happen.
