robbynnoel Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Some of you know that I didn't have my surgery yesterday. To make a long story short, I went into anaphylactic shock (because of an allergy to the general anesthesia) in the operating room prior to the surgery. A day later, I still look like Rocky Balboa. My dentist wanted me to have wisdom teeth extracted and I had been stalling. Thank god I did. I was very lucky to have been in an operating room surrounded by professionals rather than in a dentist chair when this happened. The surgery isn't off. I did think about it yesterday though. Then I realized that surgery or no surgery I'd have to work out what I was allergic to...in case I need an operation later. I have an appointment with an allergist tomorrow. Once the allergist results come back, I'll get a new surgery date. The doctor spoke as if it could be within "days". I'm back to ISOPURE. My doctor didn't specifiy I had to return to the liquid diet (I lost almost 20 lbs pre op despite the Dallas trip...that's a miracle) but I thought it would be a smart thing to do, not that I feel much like eating.
Jnlebean Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Wow, Im glad your ok! Keep us posted as to when your surgery will be and all the rest of it! Jenelle
mona-camille Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 Oh my God!! So glad you are ok. WOW, you are lucky. Well, I will keep my fingers crossed for you and wish you well. I hope you can still get the surgery and relatively soon! Good luck with the allergy tests, hopefully you won't be allergic to everything!
CindyLou Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 You are smart to take care of it now with an elective surgery rather than waiting and some type of emergency happens.
fat2nrml Posted March 12, 2009 Report Posted March 12, 2009 So glad to hear that everything went OK... that must have been a night mare! You never had ANY kind of surgery before? You're so lucky, hope this all works out for you!! Best wishes, Darlene
