my hysterectomy journey 07/18/20 - survived the surgery, big fart at 2:25

Hard to be sure because Amber isn't coherent or clear at the best of times but I'm interpreting that as meaning it had penetrated fairly deeply into the uterine muscle - stage 1B. But that's just a theory.
I wish I had insight to help, I don’t know enough to help with a lot of the cancer/ procedure information, out of my scope of training. I’m glad she did well with the surgery.....I’m guessing the recovery will be a bitch.
Honest, I thought they were gonna have a hard time getting her awake enough to remove the breathing tube, looks like they did not. Those docs, nurses, etc must be pretty damn good, kudos to them❤️

yes, when they can’t get a good enough line in fat people on the arm they will use the neck 😬
Central line, perhaps? Just a thought. I’m not a nurse. They generally place a central line when they have to push certain meds, and I’d bet she’s a hard stick to get a larger bore IV in....they probably had to place an Aline (arterial line) to monitor her as well....her being high risk, but.....I’m not too sure about that, nurses and docs would know better.

If anything invasive isn’t needed, it will be removed ASAP to reduce risk of infection, even foleys, (tube to collect urine)and that sucks for the nurse or CNA who has to help someone like her urinate. Ugh. Poor nurses.
 
I'm sure her recovery time won't be much different than foodie beauty's. She was fine in a few weeks.

Y'all are so extra when it comes to the surgery. Yes it was high risk but the doctor was confident from the start and I sincerely doubt she is gonna die from an infection. It is 2020 and they do this surgery on 400-500 pound ppl probably more than they care to admit.

I am more worried about whether or not the cancer spread and judging by amber's fb posts in the support group, thats her biggest concern as well.

The fact that this person seriously believes that Ham gives two squirts of piss about them or their white-knighting is alarming if not hilarious.

Based on what they have said I don't think they have been following Amber that long OR they just haven't been paying attention.

The nurse was SHOCKED at how good her lungs are?

She was probably SHOCKED that they still work, being able to only walk for 2 minutes before you start running out of breath is not okay, but you do you boo, keep being delusional about being "big but healthy" while having cancer caused by you being too big... Jesus fuck.
k

This is the Trump Narc thing again - that is the most amazing person they have come across

1. I thought she had asthma?
2. They probably speak to her like you would a child - so they would exaggerate saying what a brave little girl she is etc.
3. She has a personality disorder - prone to hyperbole - The nurse didnt say anything close to that

I can see many of you gorls don't believe my prediction! Of course amber would survive the surgery, it's the recovery that will kill her. 🧙‍♂️

I can't wait for the infection and slow death saga to begin!

We all know she has had more infections below the belt (yes I remember her belly button story, I'm pretty sure that it hangs below her waistline so it counts!) than anyone can hope to keep track of. I'm sure that cutting her open and ripping out the dainty bits will stay perfectly clean while our gorl copes like she have never coped before with a binge that would put mr creosote to shame.

The surgeons and Drs are paid to keep her alive - Amber is paid to slowly kill herself

'Just one waffur thin mint?' lol
 
So is Becky going to be the one to keep the incision clean or will a nurse be coming round to do so? I can imagine Becky just half assing it and Amber getting a raging infection along the incision.
 
Did Amber ever say what type of hysterectomy she was scheduled for? There's multiple types, some leave ovaries intact and others remove uterus and cervix. I don't remember any specifics but maybe I missed something?
 
That's a big given.
She definitely has a fatty liver but it may not be causing symptoms.
It's probably like Slappy said- once the IV meds are toned down it'll be back to normal.

She said the liver test thing on the same day that she got tested for Covid, the Monday before her surgery. Would they have been giving her IV antibiotics two days prior to her surgery?

I imagine even she doesn't know for sure - In my brain somewhere I thought she said that the whole thing was going inc. ovaries - but I am not sure - hard to remember the distinction between what she has told us and what others have speculated
 
The two things that Becky has contributed to this "cancer journey" are ridiculous.
Normally the person you have along gets information to share with the patient because they are out of it and might not remember what they were told.
Becky shared with Amber that the doctor repaired her hymen after the DNC. Never happened.
After the hysterectomy the information Becky got was that the cancer was very deep. What does that mean? Either the Kentucky doctors are dimwits or Becky is a dimwit.
Or Amber is making shit up.
Cancer being as serious/shocking news as it is, these two being as thick as planks and that AL records pretty much everything it beggars belief that one of them didn't voice record the info from the Drs.

Imagine being told the treatment plan/steps (which I assume happened) only to then record an "update" vid where you publicly show you haven't a clue. Dumb and dumber.
 
I am thinking about the Kentucky heat - and the festering - any sort of surgery incision especially abdominal on a 'large' person is so easily infected - she is going to be in and out of the ER like a jack-in-the-box - They will have to give her a timeshare suite



She does not have any head strong adults around her - Becky will probably be bennyed out and Momalynn if fuck off the moment she had to do some actual parenting because she has no clue what that entails never having been a parent
Considering...do you think she will be DC’d to a rehab hospital? Just a thought. If she had either Medicaid or private healthcare, I would think she would be approved....but, well.....

I would love to hear a recording of what went on in the surgical suite during Fatass' operation. The absolute shit talking by the doctors and nurses about her would be gold. I wonder what they said when they saw her layygs??
I’m quite sure they would be tempted, but I’d venture to say they would be scared to say anything.

Sometimes patients actually hear shit.....or they hide a smartphone or some such nonsense. Generally you don’t even recall anything, but.....well, I’ve heard horror stories, and witnessed a patient hearing shit when they were heavily sedated (she told us she heard nurses talking shit about each other, too funny).....or so they thought. Eek.
 
She's mad that she can't eat because she eats to numb her feelings and now she has to sit and actually experience how shitty everything is.
People who have WLS and don’t have prior therapy for the WHY of being obese have the same issues....probably even with therapy....so I would be quite sure AL will be very upset she can’t eat her fear away.

The final histology report won't be available yet, and that's necessary for determining the next steps.

The focus at the moment will be on getting her well enough for discharge and preparing her for the idea of further treatment - in general terms - if it seems likely that will be required.

There's a lot of "hurry up and wait" involved in cancer diagnosis and treatment.

If they took lymph nodes, she should know how many.
 
Considering...do you think she will be DC’d to a rehab hospital? Just a thought. If she had either Medicaid or private healthcare, I would think she would be approved....but, well.....
Nope. She's home by now. She doesn't have insurance or Medicaid. It's almost hard enough getting into one of places with it. There's no way without it. The only difference in her and thousands of others who've had that surgery done is that she's 600lbs.
I'm sure she was dying to get loaded up in the heavy duty wheelchair to be wheeled down to Becky and the Hyundai, probably had cheesecake factory on standby for the moment of discharge. That liquid diet really depressed her.

She's laid up posting smart ass replies through her socks, shoveling that gaping maw with fast food, and whining about pain.
Infected incision era in the making- while gaining more pounds.

This is why I tell all nurses to treat patients like they're awake.

We had an incident where a PACU nurse tried weaning a patient off the vent without saying anything. You can imagine how horrifying it was for them.
