Had UPJ Davinci repair June 15th as out patient. By 10 pm that night was in horrific pain. Called the rescue squad to take me back to hospital. Dr felt stent was causing pain so it was removed. Stayed in hospital for 5 days, then discharged home. I was feeling good for 3 days. Then pain started again gradual at first then becoming unbearable. Went to dr office twice and multiple phone calls complaining of pain. Was told they didn't understand why I was in pain and that they couldn't give me any more pain medications. By July 4th pain was so bad I could hardly walk and was unable to stand up without help and yelling out in pain. I returned to ER. They gave me lots of pain meds but nothing helped. Ended up having an ultrasound that showed a huge area in my belly. Was transferred to larger hospital. CT showed that I was full of urine leaking from the repair site. Two abdominal drains placed on July 5th. While in hospital had an allergic reaction to medications and ended up with head to toe hives. Also with all the extra fluid in my body I went into a-fib and attack acardia. Was able to drain 3000cc plus out of my belly. Had nephrostomy placed July 6th. Was discharged from hospital with drains and tube on July 8th. In total 20lbs of fluid was drained off in 4 days. Waiting on follow up appointment this wed with new dr to see how my healing is going. I am miserable. I am 36 and a mother of a two year old. I lost my job, and now insurance. I haven't Ben able to do much with my son and pretty depressed with the whole situation. I keep praying for strength. Was wondering if anyone else has gone through this, and if there is light at the end of the tunnel.
