Sleeved on the 20th and have intolerable pain on my left side!! I'm at the point where I think I should call an ambulance!!! I can't take it! Im lightheaded dizzy, I close my eyes and the whOle world is spinning!! I cannot breathe the pain is sharp and shooting. Any suggestions before I call 911?

Go to the ER or call the ambulance..that is not NORMAL!

Does anyone know her? Really wish we could follow up and make sure she is OK.

Please respond and let us know you're OK! We're worried about you and praying for you.

Thanks everyone. I'm headed to the ER and I'm hoping and praying it's not anything worst than severe gas pains. But I can't help but be nervous. Will keep you guys posted. Thanks fOr the love and support. I feel it!!!!

DOn't let them treat you without an EKG and a chest xray - EKG eliminates heart problems, and hopefully chest xray will catch any emerging infections...

....BE REALLY CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH MORE THINGS THAN NECESSARY!!! You are post surgery and having a complication as it it...you do not need to contract MRSA or anything else. I would ask for a mask as soon as you walk in, and take you own antibacterial goo - on the way home, go buy some hibiclens from a pharmacy or walmart, and give yourself a basin bath wit about 1 oz to 2 quarts Water - hibiclens is chlorhexidine gluconate - avoid eyes, ears, etc. use it in diluted form.

Abiluv, I'm waiting anxiously to hear from you as well. I hope it turns out to be something simple!

Please let us know. I'm confident that your alright, but am still a little worried. Take some deep breaths and try to relax if possible.

Hey everyone! Just got back from the ER. Well apparently after 4-5 long hours, the doctors realized that my drain pipe was messing with one of the incisions. When I lay down or just sit the drain pipe was forcing its way to where the stitching was. That was what was causing the pain and dizziness. So he took the drain out. Usually it doesnt happen until a week after but in my case I had no more drainage so that was a good thing. All in all I'm okay. Thanks for sending the love and support!!!!! It means a lot

I am so glad you were able to figure out what was causing your pain and that it was a fixable complication. Sorry you had to go through that! Hope it goes smoothly from here!

Glad to know you are OK!

Thanks for coming back and letting us know! Hope things are smoothing sailing for you from this point on.

Glad to know all was better than it could have been. You did the right thing. Expect the worst and pray for the best. Speedy recovery and take care..

Glad to hear that's all it was! I know dizziness is a very scary feeling. Big big hugs and healing prayers go out to you. Good for you on getting yourself to the ER immediately. Though the issue was easily remedied who knows how it wouldve turned out if you didn't get that checked ASAP.

I second the congratulations on getting to the ER right away! That was GREAT!!!!!!!! Glad to hear you are now doing better!
