Complications

[jessamarie24 173]

I went back after two weeks too! Now I'm wishing I would have taken the full 3 weeks off lol. I'm super sore on m left side but I work in a preschool so probably wasn't the best idea to come back so soon!

If ur job requires physical stuff I would get put on light duty wen u get back. My doc told me not too lift anything over 50lbs til 2 months. Trust me the ffirst time u try to do sumthin physical its not always comfortable

My doctor won't let me back to work for 6 weeks Becuse of my job I drive a tractor trailer and have to pull my self up into the back to close over head doors. So my wife and kids are doing a staycation this year. Some activitys I can't join in but I can walk and have fun with the family. Besides my daughter starts back to collage next week along with my wallet I'll miss my wallet.LOL

I went back to work after a week. I have a desk job so wasn't to big of a deal. No pain or issues at all.

HI: I had some low potassium numbers. Mostly from the pre-surgical liquid diet. It was fixed with a large pill. Other than that, no problems whatsoever. Well, I did have a few foamie incidents, but not for a while.

Hang in there.

I had my surgery on April 23rd at 7:30am. Of course my friend came on the 22nd which sucked since you wear a tampon. I was out of surgery around 1pm. I have been in ICU since Thursday afternoon. My doctor said I will be in here until Monday, Tuesday the latest. Monday, he is going to do the stomach test to see if everything is working properly. I won't have anything to drink or eat until Monday.

Prepost weight 274

14 days of liquid diet, cheated twice

Day of surgery 258.4

I am not sure how much I weigh now and my body is swollen from the gas that they fill your tummy before surgery and the fluids that are going into me 24/7.

I had surgery on March 12th.....I was in the hospital for 11 days. I had a collapsed lung, pneumonia and the tc scan dye damaged my kidneys. oh, and I got oral thrush that lasted a month. I cried and regretted my decision for the first few weeks until I walked three miles with my husband and dog. I was able to fit into clothes that were too tight a month ago. I was able to reach my body parts and be more flexible. Each day gets better and better. I no longer regret it but the complications were definitely a rough patch.< /p>
