bonmilligan 53 Posted September 2, 2013 Surgery on Friday. Uneventful. I stayed an extra night to get past the nausea and get used to drinking Water all day. I went home Sunday, pretty sore but ok. Monday felt ok. Not great. Started having cramps and assumed it was part of the process. Tuesday morning I was very sick. My daughter took me to the ER in Arlington. I assumed that I was just dehydrated but they did a CT scan eventually and by then the bile was coming up. Turned out I had an incarcerated hernia/obstruction. They transferred me to Dallas by ambulance for an emergency surgery. Got released Friday evening and am recovering nicely. Blood pressure is high an O2 is low but both are improving. I'm doing ok with water but Protein is a challenge to get in. I'm using a c-pap all day and all night. Doing the breathing exercising. That makes me cough! But it brings O2 up. I'm looking forward to chicken, tuna and cottage cheese! Highest weight 252 Pre surgery weight 238 Today 245 1 SassySenior reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted September 2, 2013 That sounds rough! Glad you made it to the ER. Sounds like the hernia was not detected during the sleeve? You poor thing. Hope you feel better soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonmilligan 53 Posted September 5, 2013 Thank you. I went to get my staples out today. My O2 sats remain in the high 80s ... Improving. Yesterday I went to see my pcp and she ordered a chest X-ray because she suspected aspiration pneumonia. Sure enough, while I was with my surgeon, they called me to go in to get a shot! I have pneumonia! I feel better, though and my blood pressure remains good! I'm looking forward to having some real food on Friday! tuna salad or scrambled eggs! Sounds like heaven to me!
