I just want to echo the other posts - call your surgeon's office. Make sure they know you never saw your bariatric doctor who was supposed to stop by the hospital. Also, it really seems like someone should have come in to explain to you what is going on. I have never had a trip to the ER where the doctor didn't come back and explain/follow-up before discharge. I would ask to see the doctor before letting them discharge you if you do head back to the ER. I hope you feel better!

Always better to find another doc. A month after i was sleeved i woke up with pain on my right side. I thought it was appendix. I went to the er 2 blocks from my house. They drew blood. Everything normal. Started an iv for no reason. Gave me nothing for pain while i was there. They sent me home with a script for tylenol 3 and to call my surgeon on Monday(it was a Saturday that i went to the er). I was still in alot of pain so i went to the er in the next two over about 25 mins away. I told them the previous er gave me no reason for my pain. The new er did every thing to find out what was wrong, ct scan ultrasound urine test blood test. I was admitted to the hospital and had my gallbladder out the next morning. My gallbladder had been blocked for so long my bile was clear instead of green like normal. So getting another doc to look at things is a good idea.

Update: Dr. Said EVERYTHING is fine and looks normal, blood work came back perfect, in his words, so he has no idea why I'm hurting soo bad in my side and back, he said maybe pulled muscles so he wrote me a script for muscle relaxers, oh and he also said that my kidneys would not be causing this pain I'm having. Soo idk just wanted to update Hope everyone has a great day :-)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
