Surgery yesterday - scared



Recommended Posts

My surgery was yesterday. I had a really rough night - started throwing up blood in the recovery room.

I just had my leak test and there was a concern about one place. They just came in for a follow up video extra on my stomach. I was feeling better but now I'm getting really nervous. ..

Did anyone else have the follow up video exray?

Try to relax and let the professionals take care of you. They know more about your specific situation and appropriate care than anyone on an internet forum. Best wishes!

First let me say I'm sorry to hear you're having such a rough time! I know you're scared but you are with professionals who can help you. Take it day by day and hopefully this will just be a bump in the road. I wish you the best!!

Pray for peace while the professionals do what they do. Also, pray for divine intervention with the doctors. Prayer can change things.

I actually had to have another surgery the second day to look for a leak. They needed to open me up. No leak was found but there was Fluid so they put in a drain which was fine. I heaved and threw up all night the first night but by day three felt so much better. Praying that you have a speedy recovery and start feeling better soon. Please keep us posted.

Thanks everyone! After the third X-ray they have cleared me and I'm onto the Water trails.

I too threw up all kinds of blood post op. They said not to worry, it is left over from the surgery. I had a bit of problem with anesthesia and pain killers. ( could not wake up and very nauseas) Both passed. I pray you don't have a leak and that you recover quickly. Chin up!

Well I am back home from surgery, so I think everything should be ok.

I am having abdominal pain, but trying to get in enough liquids

      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?
