Guest guest Posted November 4, 2001 Report Share Posted November 4, 2001 Hey....has any one heard from Hull? Just wondering how he's doing? K.C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 KC, I arrived home from the hosptial last Wednesday and am doing fine. I put a quick post up, but I guess you missed it. I still have some mild pain and I sleep on a recliner. Eating is difficult as expected. I have some gas. My nausia has recently gone away, but now I have diaharreha. My incision is healing well, though the port for the J-tube feels a bit sore. At times I feel great and at other times not so great. My energy level waxes and wanes. Weight loss looks great, though I don't belive my scale, and dehydration is a factor. I don't plan to report (or belive) any weight loss figures until my November 19th appointment with Dr. A.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Hey Chris Sounds like you are right on track. You will have a really great day then the next you're too pooped to pop. I had a spate of 4 days in the 3rd week that I was totally whipped. I had a scare with blood clots today. I called my PCP to tell her about the pain in my legs, she didn't mess around--they got me in in 1 hour for an ultrasound of my legs. Everything is fine. The tech who did the test is overweight and she asked me questiones the entire time about the DS. She took my name and phone number down when I left wanting to get more info. So something good came out of it. Pammi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2001 Report Share Posted November 5, 2001 Hi Chris! I'm glad you're feeling better but sorry to hear about the runs. Hope that gets better fast. I do have a question for you if you're feeling up to it. What is a J tube port? Is that something that stays in after your surgery? Is it yet something else that has to come out a month later? Thanks and may you have a quick recovery! Tracey in San Diego > I arrived home from the hosptial last Wednesday and am doing fine. I > put a quick post up, but I guess you missed it.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Tracey, The J-tube is a small tube that sticks out of a hole about 4 inches left and 1 inch above the belly button. The tube is connected directly to the jejunum and allows insertion of fluids in a way that bypasses the stomach entirely. Dr. Anthone likes to leave the J-tube in the patient for 3 weeks after surgery. Some keep it longer. I use it for liqued medication, but it can be used for ensure or other liqued nutrition in case the stomach isn't working well. They remove the J-tube at the first followup appointment in most cases.
