Have anyone went on to loss a great deal of wieght after getting a blood clot & pneumonia ?.... need some motivation

@missindiana317....thx for your concern. Good luck on your journey. ..

I think we all had that feeling but 4 weeks later I caught a blood clot. My surgery date was 6/25. That's when I thought I was really going to die. Thank GOD, it didn't happen.keep praying for me and i'll do the same....

Yep, it was from being sleeved. The Dr. at the ER. said that you can get a blood clot anytime after surgery if your obese and they said the pneumonia goes hand and hand with blood clots. I spent 2 days in the hospital then I was transported to a medical rehab place which I spent 7days in pain. I got release with the pneumonia still and having nurses coming to my house because the blood thinner meds I have to take to continue to dissolve the blood clot. Still in pain but can breath a whole a lot better than 10 days ago. So then experienced has not been good for me.....

June 25th

I'm sorry to hear that but I woke up one day having pain in my shoulder and my right side. Also hurting when I breath. I was 5 weeks out. At first my dr. Office thought gas but it came out to be a blood clot and pneumonia. So be careful and good luck.

I will thank you so much.....

Hi, I was /had a revision on 6/25 to sleeved. Everything was going ok till Sunday (4days ago). I woke Sunday with back shoulder pain and it hurst to take deep breath. By Monday the breathing was almost unbearable and the pain moved to my rib under my cheast and right back. So went to my Dr. Office which said I'm 4 weeks post-op and should out of the woods for leaks or clots. U may have gas but if the problem is still there by Tuesday (day3) go to emergency room at the hospital where I had my gastric sleeve on 6/25. Well by 3rd day my pain was the roof. After all the test. I have a blood clot and small case of pneumonia in my lungs. ...wow...help

Yea, the tuna is too soon. I'm 3 weeks out today. U might want to try the Campbell to go soups( they are real thin, sf popsicle, sf chocolate pudding, ) lentils Campbell soup and flav Protein tube shots

My family member said senior dimension medicare pays fully and not the red, white and blue card at this time.

Good luck and Congrats....I'm almost 3 weeks out with band and sleeve at sametime and feels great. ...ahhhh
