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 :-)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
