So, im writing this after having to swallow 8 pills. I had internal bleeding after my vsg surgery and they had to go back in to remove a softball sized clot...then I received 2 liters of blood. Once I started feeling better at home my back was hurting...it hurt to breathe in deeply. I mentioned this to my surgeon and he ordered a ct scan. The day after the scan I went in to discuss the findings and was kept in the hospital overnight given IV antibiotics for an abscess by my spleen. I refused a biopsy after they told me the risks so they gave me antibiotics to take home. Now I have to take 2 tabs of zofran (anti nausea) with the flagyl and cipro 2x a day and have to wrap the flagyl in tissue just so the taste doesn't make me vomit. During the day I take nexxium, my multivitamin and iron supplement. I take hydrocodone for the pain and my regular meds...ugh. ok, rant over.
