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.

Glad to hear it dear. How are you doing on fluids and Protein? I'm sucking! My docs advice....eat anything you can keep down. I don't care if it's ice cream, just do it! Sadly I have zero. Interest in ice cream lol.

I'm getting in as much as possible. I'm usually really tired/doped up on pain meds so I don't get in nearly as much as I need but it's been a crazy past few days

Bless you heart... I was sleeved on 8/9/2012 and had no problems so far...saying a prayer for your recovery... God Bless.

How's it going today kimberlee?

I'm doing alright today. I was finally able to do some feminine pampering things my mom helped me I think it kinda changed my overall demeanor in a certain sense. Pain is still there and I don't really have any new news other than my Coumadin levels are high so theyre not giving me a pill again today. My doc is on vacation this weekend and will either be back tomorrow or Monday...I will hopefully be transferred to a regular floor and out of the ICU.

I meant tomorrow or Tuesday, btw. And thanks everyone.

I had my surgery on 8/9/12 and have not not had any problems till about two days ago. I started with right flank pain, I talked to the nurse and she said I was probably exercing to much. All I've done for excercise is walk on the tread mill for a hour at 2.0 to 3.0 mph. Needless to say I didn't go to the gym the last two days but I did take a 15 min stroll in my neighborhood today. However, on Friday night my throat started hurting. I slep til 2pm on Sat, thank gosh for my husband, he kept the kids out of my hair. This morning was 10x worse my chest is super heavy, when I breath in it hurts and I have a cough that keeps bringing up green chunks, yuk! It's also making my head pound! Of course, I am paranoid because of the recent surgery, I don't wanna end up with pneumonia or blood clots from being in active but at the same time I'm embarrassed to go to the doctors. I'm sure it's just a cold but after reading your story and just knowing all the different complications I am worrying terribly. I know my senario is nothing like yours but I still can't help but worry.

Anyway, I wanted to ask if you were on Iv fluids? I don't remember reading that. Thank you for all of the updates, EVERYONE IS ROOTING FOR YOU TO HAVE A COMPLETE AND SPEEDY RECOVERY!!!!

Was there a lot of coughing associated with this. I have tightness but not extreme pain. I too had surgery on 8.21

I was also sleeved on 8/21. For the two nites and 3 full days that I was in the hospital I was given breathing treatments every 6 hours. And of course I had to do that crazy spidometer (sp?). I'm doing ok with breathing even though last week I caught my sisters cold. .

Did you guys get the breathing treatment?

Tryan, I was also sleeved on 8/9 and on day 10 developed a sinus infection that I am just now getting over.. I would go to your reg doctor for antibiotics and cough meds.. I've been trying to rest as much as possible but I'm also a teacher that started back to school the day the infection started. Don't let it get worse!!

Kim-- keeping u in my prayers and I hope you have a speedy recovery!!

My situation is different than the original poster here but I've dealt with a lot of complications. go to the ER now. if they do a CAT scan of us the important thing you need to know that the dye needs to be administered IV not oral. don't drink it. really you need to make sure you don't have a leak or anything bad which can still happen at this time just to be safe

Be sure that you stay alive for those kids
