Didn't Get the Surgery I Went in for

So, upon opening me up this morning they found an internal obstruction that a) Had to be removed for my health, period. b) Needed a different type of surgeon to remove it c) Had to be removed before the gastric bypass could be done. The good news, my life may have been saved by this discovery. The bad news, didn't get the surgery I came here for. :(

So, I woke up from anesteshia minus a gall bladder, but with the same stomach size and internal digestive tract I went under with. I now have to have another surgery tomorrow to remove the obstruction, the gastric bypass will be a month from now.

This new development may force me to be on medical leave for almost 3 months! Besides the "it may have saved my life" part, this REALLY sucks and I am not happy!

  2. Aw man! How frustrating, but a good thing they found it. Bummer you have to wait another month, but hey, what's another month? Not much really. Rest up!
