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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
