AzRednek Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Losing weight the hard way huh?? To bad you were gone. Dr Hess and FC were handing out free one hundred dollar bills. I told them I'd keep an eye on your pile but they didn't believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Hess Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 Did they go in through your front? Or kind of the side? Got the path back yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 I've never seen anterior access for renal surgery. Why would they go that route? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Dunno why they chose a route. Uh... Most of the ones I've seen were technically after the person didn't need either kidney (or anything else) anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Gentlemen He went in from the front 3 cuts 2 small on top one large on the bottom. Hurts to move but I got meds and and am walking about..far better than the first day. : ) Only problem is the CO2 gas that they use to expand the area for him to work in is slow to leave and you feel like you overate. Distended gut : ) Any ideas how to get rid of the swelling and gas? Aside from that everything is good karl The hippy has me eating organic yogurt something about probiocics!!

Dr.Hess Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Did it laproscopically. Cool. They are doing a lot of surgeries that way that used to be considered an "open" only kind of thing. Just time on the swelling and gas.

rebel49 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Karl They told me after gall bladder surgery to walk as much as I could for the first 3 days after surgery to relieve to gas. It seemed to work, but the first two trips up the block were a real boogger, almost had to call for an evac on the first trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hello rebel 49. Thank you sir, they told me the same and I have been walking.
