Default emergency surgery

Ok so yesterday at work my tummy started burning and i went to the restroom because i felt like i was going to be sick. So when i went to heve and i felt something rip so a wonder er trip was my next step. So i get to the er and after tw9 hours of pain i get a ct and find out that i had two lesions where i was connect and they ripped apart. So i got emergency surgery and now they had go in and redo parts of my bypass. So i have a new g tube and a feeding tube . I feel like crap and i don't know when i am getting out of here.So i am getting really tired of being sick. nowi can't eat or drink anything for three days, then i may get to go home but i will keep the feeding tube because they are afraid i won't be able to keep anything down. So fun fun

I'm so sorry to hear of your complications. It's a new one to me. I haven't heard of this happening to anyone before. Glad you went to the ER right away. Best wishes dear... enough pain is enough already!

I am so sorry you are going through this. It can be very easy to fall into a depression, so keep in touch and try to stay positive. What a huge bummer. You are in my prayers!
