I was the same. You're doing great. Step at a time!

Ahh ok, no worries, just a thought. Your bodies metabolism is getting real fast then...not always a bad thing!. Also a good idea to check cortisol levels incase

I'm only just sleeved but gained a lot of weight due to my under active thyroid...maybe even get some blood tests if you're worried, you may have an overactive thyroid? Not saying your awesome loss is a bad thing! Just a suggestion if you are not quite feeling right

Absolutely normal. I've been overwhelmed most days since surgery on Thursday. Just hits me. So let it out, cry if you need to, hopefully it will make you feel much better .

Just spoke to surgeon. He said it is a clot but not a life threatening one. It should clear up but if not in the next few days get some anti biotics to stop any infection spreading. It was caused by the vein being traumatised with the iv...he seemed very relaxed so that made me feel good.

Thanks me too...having freak outs now lol. Over analysing every part of my body and how I'm feeling lol. The thing that has me confused is my wrist was like this when I left hospital so I thought nothing of it...I hope they will fix me.

Yes I'm sure there is an infection of some kind. Dr I trust has left for the day , will see her in the morning. Waiting for surgeons phone call, if he sounds concerned at all, ER it will be straight away

Really? I'm not very educated in dvt and for some reason thought it only effected the legs...just called my surgeon, will hear back shortly and go from there...the ER here is as useful as fine bone china at a tea party for drunken elephants lol.

Hey guys....I'm 5 days post op and have a large lump on my left arm where one of the iv's were contacted. Its very puffy, a lot of heat in it. I remember they flushed it with water a few times, maybe its a build up of fluid? I'm just worried its infected due to the heat in it and soreness, its no bigger but was worried...anyone have this? Should I ask my normal Dr for some anti biotics or talk to surgeon? Thank you!

Lots of fish in the sea. Although I'm sorry he did this to you, I'm glad you can now made a fresh start. You know in your heart of hearts that you deserve so much better!

Lol thanks everyone, it just got to me! I'm home now, taking in as many fluids as possible. I'm guessing the next few days I'll really start improving. How long did you guys take off work?

Family came to visit me in hospital and they all went for a lovely lunch. I know I can't eat, but gosh it irritates me! Must be in a bad mood or over tired because feeling sooo grrrrr!

I know what you guys mean. I'm the 30th and am now crying at random times I'm so worried. But I know when I think about the reality, everything will be ok

Classy and beautiful

Just awesome. I go in on the 30th. Been scared the last two weeks and now I'm giggling with excitement as I'm sure i will win like you have! Yay!

Thanks guys..time is flying by! Maybe that's another reason I'm worried. Just don't feel prepared. Have been reading lots of the threads. Some are awesome. Some are super scary hehe. Hope you are feeling ok after your surgery and heal nice and quick! Xx

Thank you Tracey...I have read a bit on here, on one hand it is encouraging, on another it is scary! Only a week and a half to go and I'm certainly busy hehe. Thanks for your kind words and suggestions

Heya, live in Sydney, Australia...booked in for op on the 30th of August...starting to become a little scared now! When you're so busy with work and life it creeps up on you. Anyone have any suggestions on keeping chilled out? Xx
