post op week #1
Mar 23, 2009
One week ago today, I had the duodenal switch. I woke up in PACU 12 hours after my surgery only to be told that there were problems, I had an incision from the middle of my breast bone to my bellybutton, and was to remain on a ventilator due to extensive damage done to my esophagus and breathing tube. Spent 3 days in ICU and was discharged on post op day #5. I am at home now. I go see Dr. Bonanni tomorrow to have my jp drain removed. My staples will stay with me for another week. I have only been allowed liquids since Saturday. I find in incredibily difficult, but improve everyday. Thank you for all your support.
