Still In The Hospital Is This Nightmare Ever Going To End?

[1maryreigel 31]

I had my surgery on May3. Had a hital hernia repaired, lapband removed, and my sleeve done. Surgery went well. Went in for my swallow test all was good a little bit swollen but no leaks.

Unable to hold down fluids they ended up keeping me an extra day in the hospital. I came home still not able to hold dow much Fluid no matter how little I sipped how long I left in between times I always managed to throw up. I went back to the doctor on Monday and he sent me for IV fluids, well no luck with that either. I had to go back to the doctor on Wednesday and he put me in the hopital and hooked me back up to IV fluids. Two days ago they put in a picc line and are feeding me through this picc line. Tomorrow they will be going down my throat with a camera to see if they can see any thing else wrong.

I am getting so depressed. They did bring me some oatmeal this morning for breakfast ohhhhh yummy. gonna pray it goes down and stays down.

Please keep me in your prayers that i will be out of here soon. : )

You will always be in out prayers, you don't even have to ask. I wish you a speedy recovery on the losers bench!

I had my surgery late April and like you I have also returned to the hospital but for a different reason. I recently felt extremely bloated in the abdomen section after eating or sipping and even with time this feeling never subsided. So I rushed myself to my dr office where I've been since LAST saturday. After so many tests, they began to narrow the problem down to blood clots in my abdomen area.

Even though I've been here a week I managed to stay confident that this minor inconvenience would only be temporary and never permanent because the human body is a beautiful thing! So I will need you to feel the same. Stay positive at all cost because confidence also helps during recovery mode. It will ALWAYS be mind over matter.

Jimmy, How did I miss that you're having problems too? I'll definitely keep you in my prayers as well!! I hate to see people have blood clots, but it sounds like your doctors are right on top of it! Good luck!
