Yes, this is a lot like the whole C-section thing. I didn't know I'd be having a C-section until 14 hours of labor...they finally figured out my pelvis was too small! yikes! I stayed awake for my c-section though, because after all that labor, I wanted my husband to be able to be there for Christopher's birth. Still, after that surgery I felt great...just like the RNY...then about a week later I developed a blood clot that rose to the surface of my incision and started draining..good times. Then a breast infection....more fun....then they found that my uteris hadn't contracted back all the way, so they gave me this medicine that about killed me!!! It made the uteris contract allright..it was like labor all over again...with no demerol! So, that was like the RNY..because 1 week after that little procedure I developed the blockage, had to have the 2nd surgery, then got the pneumonia! More good times!!! Note to self....no more surgery!!!! I don't care how much flab, saggy boobs, whatever is hanging around is staying, I'm not going to another elective surgery! Mama is DONE!!!!
