Surgery was 8/20. This past Monday 8/27 I presented to the ER with pain in my rib cage area on my back and that sides associated shoulder when I breathe. They did a CT chest..multiple blood clots. I'll be in the hospital for a minimum of 5-7 days. Can't believe this happened to me. I Pray that none of you experience this.

Sorry this happened to you! Hopefully after you are past this you will be able to continue on your journey with no regrets!

We all went into this knowing there were risks for complications and all just hoped they wouldn't happen to us... Just keep in mind your reasons for going thru with the surgery and the happy days that are to come!

So sorry to hear that you got blood clots. Best wishes to you and a speedy recovery!

Thats awful! Good luck with your recovery!

I hope you get better soon. I mean that so much

That is terrible and I feel awful that you ate going through this . I had a clot once when I was Pg and you will get through this. Terrible but they caught them. Ugh. I just feel so bad for you. Lots of prayers for you

I experienced a blood clot as well. Just do everything the doctor tells you and if you can....walk. If you are on continued therapy, make sure you get your INR checked everytime they tell you. Mine is completely out of whack and now I have to do shots at home twice a day. On the upside, I am down 42lbs, I just haven't been in the frame of mind to enjoy it.

Sorry you had problems!! Did your doctor do anything pre op to prevent clots? My surgeon gives you blood thinners right before surgery, and right after. He also puts on mechanical boots to keep the blood flow moving in your legs. He also makes you walk, and do special breathing excercises right after.

Oh no! This is everyone'd fear. Jennhlp is right, do everything that you are told. Blood clots are deadly. SO glad that you didn't wait around and that you went to the ER.

Keep getting better & stronger!!

I'm so sorry!! But I am Soo happy that you're under doctors care and in a safe environment!

Sending healing reiki energy your way. Keep positive!

I hope this issue resolves quickly for you. I am sending positive energy your way.So glad you went to ER in time for them to catch it

So sorry! thank God you didnt ignore it, or blow it off as normal pain....otherwise who knows what could of happened! ((hugs)) and praying for a fast recovery for you!

I'll be praying !

So sorry you had this complication, surgery twin! I'm glad it was caught in time and pray for your quick recovery. Keep us posted!

Kimberlee, please keep us updated. I'm so glad you went to the ER and they found the clots. That is serious scary stuff! You are in my thoughts and I'm praying you recover quickly.

Hang in there!!!!
