I'm 3.5 weeks post-op and have been doing well. Just tired at times and other than that making sure I get my fluids in daily along with my Protein...it seems I am just not all that hunrgy or thristy between 2-6pm...note self...continued to drink.

But today I did something not so good. I fell down the stairs about 1hr ago. I rode them on my left-side hip and ribs. I'm sore, but slightly afraid that I could have caused my stomach or spleen some damage. Thinking I should call my doctor.

Has anyone else fallen after surgery and if so, did anything happen?

Call you doctor or go to the ER! you don't want to take any chances at this point!

I agree with Julie, call you surgeon or go in to the ER! Your safety comes first, always! Let us know what they said.

Ouch. I am sorry to read this. I hope you are okay. I know I would be freaked out and worried if I fell. I would at the very least call the surgeon and ask them to advise. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hope you are okay. I agree, call your Dr. They will give you some great advice, probably over the phone. Good luck and please keep us informed.
