Recommended Posts

Having the most horrible experience of my life.

Something so exciting has been nothing but....

Surgery was Monday. Couldn't keep down Water until Wednesday.

Finally went home Thursday, only to return to the ER Thursday night with fever/chills. I was admitted to the hospital, joy!

My appendix needed to come out. Was VERY ill, come to found out it was C-Diff from all the antibiotics they gave me. In for surgery I go.

Friday/Sat/Sun/ horrible horrible horrible horrible. Some of the Worst days of my life.

I cried to so many nurses, I praise the lord I have a couple excellent nurses who became a friend pretty much and helped me thru.

Today, I am ok. Im breathing.

Still nothing close to feeling good.

If I could turn back time right now, I would have never shown up for surgery on Monday.

:( :( :( :(

I am so sorry you had such a horrible time. It sounds like the appendix was the big culprit. Regardless of your RNY on Monday, you still would have needed an appendectomy. Now you just need to take time to heal - it'll be harder with the app'y pain but hang in there! You CAN do this so stay strong and lean on your family, friends or this board for support. We're here for you sister! Healing thoughts coming your way!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
