5 days post op-dehydration and pneumonia



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was sleeved on 26 April in San Francisco and was planning to fly home tomorrow. However during the night I got quite sick and spent all day today in the emergency room. They told me I was severally dehydrated and have pneumonia in my right lung.

Does anybody have experience with dehydration and pneumonia post op?

thanks,

So sorry to hear that you got sick after surgery! I haven't been sleeved yet, so can't give you any advice, but I'm wishing you a very speedy recovery!

I wonder why you are dehydrated. Did you not sip on liquids throughout the day when you were in the hospital? People can get pneumonia from being in bed and not walking around. Did they give you something to blow in throughout the day at the hospital?

I am sure you're on antibiotics and just remember you have to constantly sip sip sip to get your fluids in so you don't get dehydrated again.

I wasn't dehydrated, but I had double pneumonia. My primary doc told me to admit myself into ER, so I did. Alot of antibiotics and breathing. I am still recovering, but doing much better.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
