Hello Everyone, I had surgery May8,the surgery was about 7 hours.The
doctors got the ovarian remnant, but it was the wrong piece,(I thought I
only had a piece on the left)the doctors removed the piece on the right
side....and that news was really hard for me to except...A few days
after surgery the doctors and myself started to notice that my bowel was
not working well, so I was kept on IV fluids and could have nothing by
mouth, so almost a week after surgery I had x-rays and CT scan done and
I was told I have a postoperative Ileus, I have had so much pain and I
look like I am 6 months pregnant....Ten days after surgery the doctors
told me that there is nothing more that they can do and we decided it
was time for me to go home...My bowel is still not working, I am on
clear liquid at home, I have to see the doctor daily to make sure my
bowels are not getting worse......I knew the risk but because I have
been lucky durning the other surgeries,I just hoped I would not have
problems with my bowels(this has been my biggest fear with surgery). I
still have alot of pain and recovery is going to be long...I just had a
surgery Dec8,2000...Thanks for all the support I have recieved, and
thanks for listening it is nice to be able to write and know someone
understands.....
