Had To Go To Er, Surgery Is In 6 Days!



Recommended Posts

Ok, I asked a questtion about Migraines over the weekend because I woke up once again with a blinding Migraine. I sent an email to my WLS surgery doc, he said for me to call my PCP, she said take my excedrin, but I could not because of surgery. So my eyes started twitching and blurred and then I started throwing up. That was Sunday morning. When there was nothing left in my system to puke out, I started with the dry heaving!!! So now, I need to go to the ER. In the er, they give me something for nausea and my headache and for some reason benedryl. That was around 12:30 pm memorial day. I woke up still in the ER around 2, head still hurting and now I need to pee. So I made it out of bed, when to the restroom (down the hall), staggering back to my room, I shut my finger in the big ER room door!!!! WTF!!!!!! Now I need stitches in my finger. And the they had to give me a tetanus shot!! My arm is sooo sore (from the tetanus shot), my finger is swollen with stitches and my head still hurts. I finally woke up this afternoon, didn't get a change to call the doc office to see if everything is still ok with the surgery. Does anyone know if I can still have the surgery after getting the tetanus shot? And they gave me morphine for my headache and finger pain. Im scared my surgery will be postponed!!!! :wacko::unsure:

Well this is my Pre-op story. Went on a Monday for my pre-surgery testing. Got a call on Wednesday that I had Fluid in my right kidney. Keep in mind on January 18th I had a kidney stone on the right side. Was in the hospital for that and was told it was passed. Two weeks after that back in the hospital kidney stone on left side. Passed that one.

So got the call that day that had the Fluid in the right side. Called my doc the weight loss doc fax him the report. Well he put me in the hospital did a procedure on March 17th then had a lithotripsy on March 20th and still had my sleeve done on March 26th. All three times I was put under and was on pain meds. Still did good wont say it was easy after my sleeve but that is just because I was just so worn down. Goood Luck

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
