Surgery Was 10/4... Complications

[BMartin005 9]

Well I survived! Despite a report of a flawless procedure, I had some major complications later that night.. My blood sugar was 99 at the time of surgery. By that evening it had shot up to 350 and my BP was dangerously low. I'm told my body was Ice cold yet I was drenched In sweat. The doctors and nurses basically spent the nit in my room. I was about to be sent to ICU when somehow everything went back to normal within normal ranges... Once that crisis passed, on came the gas paint OMG!!! I ended up staying an additional night in the hospital and required 2 pints of blood... I'm home now, resting well, no pain or discomfort. I walked my neighborhood today.it wore me out, but I made it through.. Thanks for all the encouraging words of support. I think I'm on my way! 13 pounds since surgery day!

So glad you are doing better. Sounds like your body had a crazy reaction and then got its stuff back together! You are doing great if you're already walking your neighborhood. Welcome to the loser's bench!

Did you already have high blood pressure?

Yes..I have suffered from high BG for years and have been on a mild dose of meds for it.. I have ever had my BP bottom out though. That was weird and a lil scary!
