My Surgery For 9/12 Was Unsucessful...i'm Sad.

[Isla 13]

My surgery was unsucessful...I was admitted at 8:30 am in the morning and ready for 9:30 am. The surgeon made 6 incision outside my stomach area and inserted the larpoc. equipment with air. Then they had to abort the srugery because my heart became weak and my heart rate was so low. My blood pressure went down to 70/40. They pulled the plug and the next thing I knew my surgeon was in the recovery room and told me that he almost lost me because of my heart and pressure. I was devastated and I started to cry. I don't understand why this happened to me? My Cardiologist told me that I was fit to do this surgery and he cleared me. After that they kept me in the hospital for evaluation. They ran some tests on me. They took many blood drawing, a heart cat scan, and 2D echo. All came out negative. Even though the procedure wasn't done I was in pain and haven't eaten for 3 three days. Today they discharge me and I have mild gatric pain. The doctor said to me to schedule an appointment for Monday to discuss my condition and to reschdule my surgery. I'am so hurt and tramatized I don't know what to do now. I guess it was bad luck for me. I'm home know and I'm still crying. I can't believe I had a brush with death.

Girl don't short out the iPad...that thing cost too much money, all is not lost. You will have your surgery sooner than your think, by what your doctor is telling you to do. Go ahead shrink that liver so we can get this show back on the road. It's a small set back but one that was very needed...Better them be safe then sorry.

All of you are awesome! I'm going to pick up some meds now that my doctor prescribed me at discharge this morning. They offered me a pneumovax and flu shot and I accepted and the nurses and residents told me to come back soon. The staff were very nice and supportive. All of you are so supportive too. Scared to cough and sneeze with these staples hanging on to my stomach.
