high fever is the real sign of being septic.....high dozes of antibiotics will clear that up in no time.....I remember the lack of energy well...I kept passing out the last 2 days I was home before my grand daughter pushes on my abdomen and liquid started to come out of the staples.....they have you in the best place right now....you are better off then I was....you can handle this hun.......I promise!

A thank you I know you have been through hell. I still at the angry weepy stage. I need to get past it but I am so mad!

You are going to live hun..The stent is to heal the sleeve around it...Sometimes they leave them in and other times they take them out after the incision heals..Most likely you will wait 6 weeks before they even think about removing it...The pain is bad I know I had 2 of them..One for 6 weeks and then they decided to add another one on top of the first......

Make sure they give you nausea meds and pain killers...You will feel like you are full all the time...Some people have it worse then others.....Stay calm...There are a lot of things they can do for you.....I have had it all done to me......I am 11 months out, and almost 6 months out of the hospital.......Stop crying hun.....You will be okay..

If you want me to talk to you..message me and I will be there for you during this time..... :mellow:

Can't get better advice or experience on this very issue, than from the lady above.. Seriously. As for losing all confidence in the surgeon... I know it's incredibly tough, but if you're getting hacked-off with his manner - muster all your angst and strength and tell him why you're losing confidence in him. Some of these surgeons definitely have a serious 'God-complex' going on and frankly, it's not warranted. Their bedside manners often leave a lot to be desired, too. You're justifiably frightened and you have every right to assert your dissatisfaction and demand some answers. Lots of love and hugs going out to you. Keep us updated, we'll be thinking of you x

Not to mention the fact that you paid him thousands of dollars to do your surgery. You hired him for this service and he needs to realize that your feelings account for a great deal and you paid for him to take of them as well. I have a feeling that your getting mad is actually a good thing and you will turn it around to be a great advocate for yourself. Hang in there!

I suggest you wait on the telling your surgeon what you think..you have the right to expect answers and proper care..But wait until you are thinking clearly and have calmed down....Surgeons who do this work are really concerned when one does not go well..He could very likely be side tracked with working out a plan for you.....

I personally felt that my surgeon saved my life and gave me the chance to live again...We did not have a fantastic relationship either...( he is very shy ) but as time went on I could see his concern and he worked tirelessly to get me well...And for that I am grateful...

Right now.....Your nerves are acting up and you are winged out....Try to relax and let them do their job.....I know that is hard to do..but it is exactly what I had to do....

Bless your heart. I am pulling for you. I can't imagine. It is good that they caught this and you are in the hospital being cared for and monitored.

How did you realize you had one?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
