Do I really need to go to the ER...?



Recommended Posts

@Jcbailey...I also work at a hospital and as I was reading her symptoms, sepsis is the first diagnosis that came to my mind also. You just don't mess around with a postop infection...

Gosh this is tough!! Knowing me I would tough it out until tomorrow. Unless your fever gets worse. I think you will probably be hospitalized either way. If you foot Er I am sure they will keep you. You can get help with your medical bills. Do u live in the United States? If u want to talk I will send u my phone number xxxxxxxxxx. U can call me anytime tonight as I will be up all night working. Even if u just want to talk. Worried about u and hope I can help ya.

Hey OTR here you go ;)

You need to be seen. Your PCP will likely refer you to the ED. If you had one of your symptoms or maybe 2, it could probably be handled on an outpatient basis, but with all of your symptoms you should be evaluated for peritonitis. It can get worse very quickly and it is not risking your health, especially since you have young kids who depend on you. Good luck.

Texas, like all of us, I am hoping you are OK. Hopefully, you got yourself to the ER. Hope to hear from you soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
