I had a complication
So last week I felt like s*#t. I couldn't eat or drink for like 4 days. So I went to see my surgeon and was told that if the systems persist into the next day, he would admit me. Well I was admitted. I was so dehydrated and tired. Come to find out I had pacriantist??(spelling?) I spent 6 days and 5 nights in the hospital being poked and jabbed and tested. I was finally released today.
I am really tired right now. My mother and sisters drove down to be with me and she made me my favorite soup. So I'm finally eating. I need to work on the drinking.
Just wanted to share.
But since my surgery on 2/20/07 I have lossed 30 pounds. I don't really see it yet. But thats what the scale says. I'm in the onederland now.

Pancreatitis
Oh honey! Please be careful and take it easy. My sister had a kidney/pancrease transplant and developed that, she would be ok for a few days, thought she was getting better, do too much and get sick all over again. I don't know about you, but she said the pain was horrible. Please, Please, Please be careful and remember my motto "Rest, Sip, Walk, Repeat"!!
Hope you feel better soon!

Carline,
I am so sorry that you had this complication. I am so pleased you are able to enjoy your favorite soup. You are so blessed to have such a wonderful support team. I hope all is well now and you continue with good health toward your goal. Please pay close attention to what your body is telling you and share that information with your medical support team.

Carline I am so happy to know you are home and feeling better. Congrats on the 30 pounds gone already. That is amazing. I am so proud of you. I am so sorry you hit a bump in your jounery but you are doing great. Big Congrats on making it to Onderland. I know you don't see it but go in your closet and find something you haven't tried on in a long time. So when are we gonna get a new avatar of that pretty face?

Glad to see you back safe and sound. I had post operative pancreatitis also. I was in the hospital for nearly a month, and then on home health for 2 weeks! I was on artificial nutrition the entire time!!!! Pancreatitis hurts really bad!
Did they figure it was just a fluke do to your WLS?
