Ok I understand now. It’s extremely common for bariatric surgery patients to need cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) due to rapid weight loss. My gallbladder was problematic years prior so I ended up having it removed during my gastric bypass and it ended up being chronic inflammation. It sounds very possible they will suggest it’s your gallbladder. It definitely would cause the symptoms you describe.
I was in hospital shortly after my surgery not more than two days after. And got stuck there several days. Try not to worry and roll with the punches and you will come out ok.

I went to Walmart and actually bought a 64 ounce cup. It’s fantastic. It’s a knock off yeti and was only 20 bucks. That’s how I keep up with my fluids and I also HATE room temperature fluids. It keeps things cold for 3 days.

I been there, i had to get IV fluids around 4 weeks post op and my vein went flat because it was so bad! and tell me that needle stick hurt! i never hurt during labs or donating blood with them big needles before so i can relate to your pain haha. You just need to be drinking something all the time. with electrolytes preferably. There are powders you can buy for Water bottles.

I had RNY surgery a year ago but I'm still lacking in making solid connections with others. It's hard to relate when I feel like I always have a secret to hide (loose skin, surgery, etc.) It would be nice to make some new friends and maybe even more! I'd prefer to talk through messages and not through the public forums, so feel free to message! Hopefully I'm not speaking to the wind.

Everything was great except on day 6 I started to get cold. Got up off the couch, and grabbed a blanket. It was better, but i didn't really warm up much. Had my wife feel my head to see if I was running a fever (thinking infection) and she didn't really think so.
Did a BP and pulse check. BP 145/82 (high for me) and pulse 110 (very fast). So now I'm getting worried.
Went to find the thermometer. 99.9 degrees, Great! The doctor said "call if temp over 100".
Pulled out the Ipad and looked up symptoms of Dehydration. It had a picture of me.
Went to the fridge and grabbed a 32oz Gatorade Zero, and drank over a 30 minute period.
Never looked back 😎

At St. Luke's getting a hydration session done...hopefully this will help. Also got blood work done [emoji123] and now my arm hurts like a s.o.b because she pushed the needle to far. #luckyme
