Ok I wanted to see if anyone could help me out by maybe giving me some advice especially if you went through this or someone you know. First tomorrow will be 1 month post op, I Was fine the whole time even right after surgery, Then I started having a terrible pain in my side and back about 7 days ago went to the Er sat there about 45 minutes then Dr. Comes in I tell him what's hurting and tell him right before he walks out that I had the gastric sleeve done almost a month ago, he says ok leaves and never comes back then 2 hours then they give me a shot for pain that didnt even help then a while after that they did a urine test and a ct scan on me and after just sitting there hours but that's a whole different story. Then a nurse comes in with discharge papers and says ok heres your script for such and such I was like what's wrong with me she says oh you have a uti and kidney infection, then I say so NO leak and she kinda just looks at me funny and says noo, then she says oops brb she comes back and says that the Dr. Forgot to sign the scripts. By the way I have never had a uti or a kidney infection before, just thought I'd throw that in there. Anyway the reason I'm asking for yall's help is, it's been 7 days NO relief I'm hurting like H_ll!!!! I had 5 children and this pain is right up there with having the 1 I had natural with not even a aspirin!

It's been 3 days on the antibiotics and pain meds and nothing is changing the pain in my side and back is killing me, it hurts soo bad. Does any one think they should have did blood work on me and should the Dr have came in and gave me the news, I mean I know they were Very busy that morning but just a couple minutes of his time would have made me feel better. Also Should I go back to the Er today? I'm sorry I'm just so desperate at this point.

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.

Thanks everybody for y'alls reply the Dr. Called me back and said he was looking at my ct scan and it was good but for me to go back to the er and he has ordered me some blood work and a chest X-ray so as soon as hubby gets home from work to watch the lil ones I'm on my way.

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 :-)
