Had tummy tuck.and ended up in ICU

[Mrstrips 5]

Had a tt last thurs 12/13/12. Thought all was well and was released to go.home saturday morning. I remember only bits and pieces from saturday afternoon til tues evening. Apparantly the pain meds gave me a ileus (my bowels became paralyzed) and I swelled up so much I was popping stitches and it put so mich pressure on my insides and lungs that I couldnt breathe. I was told that if I would not have went to hospital when I did that I may have not made it. I spent several days in ICU with an ng tube to get everything out. This is not the norm but curious if anyone else had complications similiar to it.

Best wishes, the bowl problem is why I hate pain meds because they have always blocked me. I pray that you have found relief and are on the road to recovery!
