I had a partial historectomy and a ureathral sling done 4 years ago. the surgeon told me I needed the proceedure done because I was incontenant . I would get a bubble of urine that would escape once or twice a month. He did no tests on my bladder.
After the surgery I was sent home(3 days) after being home for a hour I was rushed back to hospital, I was in terrible pain and could not urinate.( I had started to sweat) The ER staff insurted a cathider, and I was told that I had 3x the amount of urinein there and that my bladder was about to explode and I would have been dead on their floor.the straped a bag to me and sent me home.
1&1/2 days later I was projectile vomitting, and there was pain in my bellybutton area, I looked as if I was 5 months pregnant, and I went back to the hospital and was admitted for 3 days and released, they could not find anything wrong with me. 12 hrs later I was taken by ambulance back to the same hospital even though I asked to go to another. the original surgeon went on holidays 2 days later, and I was given to another. 1 &1/2 weeks later he sent me to the city for tests.( the whole time I was in the hospital I vomitted and looked like I was 9 months pregnant, and I had to cathiterize myself to empty my bladder) a catscan showed that my bowls had been pulled into my bellybutton , this happened when the first surgeon removed the camera. 3 days later the did surgery for this.
They gave me only water the 3 days and my blood sugar dropped to 1.4 they gave me two bags of dextrose( I said 1 would work) when I came out of surgery my sugar was 18 and the gave me insulin( I have never had a problem before or since with my sugar) I was released on th 2nd day by the first surgeon, even though I was to be their for 5 days incase of infection. six weeks later I had the sling released . two years later and two many infections to mention a ob specialist found that he cut the urethra and I was leaking through the vaginal opening. I have since had grafting done and a breach to support my scared bladder( I have no bladder control, and I can not feel when I have an infection)
Turned out it was a genral surgeon who did this to me, he was no specialist , and I did not need a sling according to my ob specialist.
I am waiting for an appointment in May, to see my ob specialist. but I am having strang pain in the abdomin, almost like I have done too many situp's, it is tender if my grandaughter leans against me, there is almost a tightness in my belly on the inside,like something is pulling, my left kidney area aches more, mostly in the mornings. Any Idea what it could be?
I have learned one thing go to a specialist, get second opionons, do not get bullied by a DR.
