Any January 2014 Surgeries?

[loving.life 110]

I am all packed and ready to fly away first thing in the morning! Along with most of above mentioned items I am also bringing an audio book for all the walking I am told I will be doing. I am expected to stay in hospital 3-5 days.

Good luck! Will be happy to see you on the other side! I'm 9 days post op,, if you need anything let me know. Stay in hospital as long as they will keep you, it's just easier! Let us know how you are doing. Take chapstick and lotion!

So, update for me: had surgery at 1240 on 01/16, it took approximately 4.5 hours due to excess scar tissue. Came out and my heart rate shot up to 170's. Dr eventually called two rapid responses one of which turned into a code blue. Apparently, I was having a anaphylactic reaction to Dilaudid and needed to be intubated and bagged. Now I have a GI Bleed. I spent Thursday through Sunday night in the ICU.

At this point, I am regretting this surgery. I hesitated to tell everyone my surgery story because I didn't want to deter anyone from following your passions. My situation was rare but yes, it did happen. Perhaps, one of these days when the unrelenting pain subsides, I can look back and be optimistic on my thinner future, but as of right now, I do have regrets.

I don't want to be a Debbie downer, because for some of us, it's our only chance at happiness and a healthy life. But just listen to your body. I wish everyone many thoughts and prayers of a speedy recovery.
