inflammation before takedown

Akk3769Member

So Sunday I went to the ER because I thought that I was dehydrated. I have 3 weeks until my takedown and I couldn't be more excited. However when I went to the ER they did a CT scan and noticed that I had inflammation around my Jpouch. I didn't have a fever and my white count was perfect but they still put me on an antibiotic. The antibiotic killed my insides so I stopped taking it. Long story short I am concerned about the inflammation. Will this post pone my surgery and what can they do for it??

I also went to an "herbal" method and started smoking pot. I used to smoke it here and there and I never had a health problem. I've smoked it for a day now and feel SO much better! The pain is almost gone and I don't feel sick to my stomach but medicinal marijuana isn't legal in NY!

Please call and/or go into see your surgeon so she/he can examine the CTscan. They usually do a test before surgery where the put a fluid in your pouch to see if it leaks - while you and laying on a x-ran table. Has that been scheduled yet?

I don't think they want to operate if you have an infection but the inflammation may be normal from your other surgery. I'd suggest you describe your pain to a doctor as well.

Masking it with mj might be hiding something else that needs looking into. Plus I think you are supposed to stop smoking anything so many days before surgery. I would tell my doctor if I were you.

I wish it was legal here as I'd be the first in line with my prescription! I'm not being judgmental. I'm a grandma and don't know anyone that has access to it.

Good Luck with your take down!
