Well, I got home Wednesday but couldnt get on the computer. My surgery,,, it's

always my luck is the way I see it. My day got moved to Monday, back to

Wednesday and then finally back to Monday. I go to check in on Monday and they

say my surgery is not scheduled until Wednesday. I had papers that dr. Dennen

filled out and they had to call him at home and confirm. Okay they say surgery

is today. I go and get checked in, get to the surgery center adn get ready. They

tell my parents do to having the gallbladder removed that I should be done

around noon. I walk into the O/R and it is crazy busy but everyone seemed nice.

I wake up around 3:30 and they tell me that I had to have open also. My surgery

lasted almost 6 hours.

What happened::: Apparently the Anestistiologist (sp) put two tubes down my

throat. Dr. Dennen was about 90% done with the surgery and was stapling my new

pouch together he felt something weird while trying to staple. He tried to

staple again felt something weird took a look and saw tubing cut and he did not

think he could get it out laparoscopically. He then opened me up to make sure

verything was safe and removed. So basically I am a open/lap patient. It hurt I

was miserable when I got out feeling like why did I do this to my self. I am now

day 4 feeling a lil bit better. The food is going down jello, pudding, soup not

much but some. I am sleeping in a recliner entirely to hard to get up from my

bed. My back is hurting and my open wound is sore. I do have one question. When

ever I drink something and it is very slow sips I feel it go all the way down

but when it gets down to the bottom right ( my right) of my stomach it kinda

cramps me up? Anyone else feel this? Thanks for!

all the well wishes and wondering about me. I am tired, I am walking, and I am

sipping so hopefully it only gets better.
