Thanks everyone for the prayers. It means alot to me to know I have your support. I've been in here these past couple of days and I've been getting really down. This whole situation is making me feel a little depressed. I don't like this environment and having a place I can go to like this for support is making this stay a little easier. Thanks again for the prayers and keep them coming so I can get out of here.

I don't know about anyone else but mine were blood clots

Thank you

Thanks

Yes, I am at one of the hospitals he has privileges at. This is his primary hospital actually. Thanks, I will keep you posted.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to give you an update on me since I haven't commented lately. I have been in intense pain the last two weeks and haven't been able to eat or drink anything. I would wake up extremely naseuous and felt like nothing would stay down. I had additional pain from no bm and was told by the surgeon's office to talk a bunch of enemas, smooth move tea, magnesium citrate, mom .... I took them and nothing happened. Two days ago, I started vomitting uncontrollably and had sharp pains. Although I felt I needed to really go to the ER, I didn't b/c we recently had an issue in the family where my nephews mother drowned them (2) and killed (hung) herself. SO I wanted to make sure I was able to make it to the funeral and wake which was this weekend. I went to the wake last night and couldn't take the pain anymore and came to the hospital. While I'm thinking I was just dehydrated and constipated b/c of that it , it turned out to be more. I have several blood clots that have developed and this is what caused me to have all of my symptoms. I have one in my liver, stomach, and leg. I've been really scared b/c they keep sending in doctor after doctor and no one is giving me any answers. They put me on blood thinners and say I might have to have additional surgery. They don't know how long I might be in here either. They tried calling my surgeon and I have been told he refuses to come to the hospital so I'm not sure what that is all about. They immediately had to remove my Mirena iud and are 90% sure that the clots come from surgery since their primarily in the stomach, liver, and intestines. I'm no longer constipated since they gave me the fluids last night but they been took me off them and I haven't eaten all day. I think I took 2 or 3 sips of water. When I get more news I'll let you guys know. Also please keep my family as well as my health in your prayers. Thanks. SN: Sorry for any grammatical/spelling errors as I'm on my phone.

Been feeling the same way. I'm a week out.

Congrats!

Thanks for the article

I've been having the same cramping in my calves when I walk. Don't know why though

I'm 6 days post op and I've been tired alot. I'm not supposed to start my multi-vitamins and B12 pills until tomorrow so hopefully that helps. I'm def not getting in my 64 oz protein and 64 oz liquid. I've been drinking the Atkins Advantage for my protein which only had 15 g protein and that is the most I might get. I'm thinking I might just start making my own. I'm down 10.4 lbs since surgery so that's a plus. I'm noticing my incisions are starting to itch and some of them are hurting more than the others but I'm gonna ask about it at the post op appt. I'm supposed to go see my surgeon this afternoon for my post op appointment. I wish there were a Trader Joes in my area...

Congrats on the 16 lbs.

Nice idea. I probably would check it out.

Congrats on the weightloss! That's awesome

Oh ok, well good luck.

Yeah, I'm noticing mine are itching like crazy.

I doubt I'm getting my 64 oz in and its been real hard with my protein shakes to even get in 4 oz.

No leak test for me. I think that's a little weird though. How can it be prevented if they don't check for it?

Congrats

I'm praying for you.

Hello guys, I'm finally home. I had some minor complications and had to be in the icu for a couple days but things are getting better. I think the gas pain is the worst and I've been trying to walk to help that. The gas x strips do nothing for me but over time I'm sure the walking and burping will do the trick. I'm glad to see everyone is doing good.
