Two weeks out and not able to eat much



Recommended Posts

Today is 2 weeks since my surgery. I had complications from day one. On my 3rd attempt at taking a walk in the hospital, I almost passed out. My heart rate shot up, I turned sheet white and the conclusion was I had a "bleeder". They kept me in an extra week and it was slow going for the doctors to get any numbers to go up. I had urinary catheter in, 2 IV's, etc. I even had trouble getting food in me, because I would gag. As my numbers started going up, they sent me home. Since being home, I can't sleep a full night, found I am having reactions to anything with fruit and dairy. Terrible gas pains that Gas-X and Alka-Seltzer gass relief don't even touch. I had called my surgeons office on Friday and his assistant assured me it will get better. I go back to the doctors office today for my first appointment. I am glad cause I want them to see me.

All in all I am miserable and feeling this was the worst mistake I have made. Anyone else with similar problems? How did you overcome them?
