Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 April, Hi, I'm Tonni, and I had my surgery on 4/10/00. I'm not real sure how long my surgery took, but I do know mine was about 30-40 longer because of an old gallbladder surgery. I have had no problems, but I did get an extra port hole from the gallbladder surgery. I have lost 30 lbs. I'm an at home mom, so I went back to work when my plane landed in Ohio. The 2-3 week, I did go through a period, where I was tired. I did need sleep. That went away in about a week. I had the normal gas pain and bloated feeling, but I took one shot from the nurse, I didn't use a pump. My surgery was the LAST one on mondaay 4/10/00, I was out of the hospital by noon on tuesday, and wed. morning at 11:30, I was on a flight back home. Hope this helps. Good Luck Tonni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Hi everyone! I just got home from a visit with my PCP and I am happy to say that he will support me! I was worried that because I don't have severe co-morbidities, he would say it was too drastic, but he was very supportive and thought it is the best thing for me. I'm going now to send in my patient info form to Dr. Rutledge. I have my 10 contacts, but only email contacts. I just noticed in the out of state patient info that we're supposed to talk to the contacts on the telephone. Is there anyone willing to give me their phone number to be my contact? I appreciate all the help I can get! Can't wait to be on the other side! Debbie in IL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2000 Report Share Posted May 30, 2000 Hi April, My name is Marie and I haven't had my surgery yet, but 6/2 is my date. You may have better luck if you e-mail some of the post-ops privately. Some may not read the posting here much anymore. I had to send out 50-60 request before I got my 10 contacts. I think you will find many helpful people here but I'm sure they are getting a lot of request daily and may have a hard time answering all. Wish I could help!! Just send to lots of people on the list that Dr. R. has the e-mail addresses in the Patient Info book. That's what I did!! Good Luck, Marie > Hi guys, sorry to bother.

Guest guest Posted June 19, 2000 Report Share Posted June 19, 2000 << Hi guys, sorry to bother. My name is April Preddy, I'm from Oxford, NC. I am in the process of trying to get everything together for surgery approval. I have ask for help a couple of times but only received a few responses. I need contacts, some of my questions are how long the surgery took, >>> April, my surgery took a little longer than most. I had adhesions from a previous surgery. Dr. R. tried to use just the portholes for me, but finally had to make an open incision. Even so, I was fine! I'm still fine! No problems. did you have any complications, >>>> no complications how much weight have you lost, >>> 85 pounds how long were you out of work, >>>> seven weeks, but ONLY because it was an open incision and I work in an environment that requires emergency responses at full tilt; my work buddy who had the same surgery the same week was back to work in ten days. when did you have your surgery >>> 16 Dec 99 and were you in a lot of pain after the surgery? >>> nope, on a scale of one to ten, ten being the most discomfort, I never felt more than a four. Again, your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks again, April >> Keep moving forward! I'd do this all again in a heartbeat, April!
