Surgery - Ugggh!
Apr 26, 2009
Well, all is well now. I went into the hospital on Wednesday night and Dr. Hornbostel removed my gallbladder Thursday morning. Found out during my recovery that I had a hernia along with the gallbladder that was bad.Thursday evening I had massive swelling in my stomach which made me look several months pregnant (see pic below) and NO that is NOT my boob!!!!!!!
It was orginally thought that I was developing another hernia but it was just swelling from the surgery and my surgeon placed me in a stomach binder which has helped some with the swelling. I also had problems with urination, I had to be cathed 2x to relieve the pressure and could not for the life of me pass urine on my own. Still having problems but overall it is a little better - I need to put a call into my Urologist.
It is very depressing to me that I came home and weighed 175!!!! 11 pounds of swelling from the surgery, yuck!!! I know that it eventually will go away but WTF!!!!????!!!!
Glad that it's over....ready to feel normal again! Uggg!
