As of November 26th I had my Lap RNY...I went home the next day feeling fine.  The next 7 days were great...then all *** broke loose.  Nothing by mouth would stay down or go straight through.  I tried for several days and finally called the Dr.  Of course I was dehydrated and they stuck me in the hospital.  They treated me for a bacterial infection.  Stayed there 7 days then home for 2 before I was back in.  I was in the hospital 45 days......I don't even remember Christmas or New Years.  They could not find what the problem was.  One night in January I crashed and don't remember anything until the next morning.  When my Dr. came in I said "I want to sign my DNR papers and let me go home and die."  That afternoon he and his staff came in and told me they were going to put a feeding tube in and I WAS going to live.  One week after inserting the tube  I was home.  I am just now beginning to feel somewhat normal and its the middle of April.  I lost alot of muscle while laying in the hospital.  I still use the feeding tube because I have "atypical dumping"  you can dump on any and everything.  I may have this tube for a couple of years but I don't care....it saved my life.
