If you are still having pain in your calf--- demand for an ultrasound of your calf. Make sure they check it for clots/ deep vein thrombosis. Ultrasound can see if u have it or not.

They took some blood and did an EKG and sent me back to the lobby. The doctor in the er made me feel like an idiot and asked why I hadn't called my surgeon. I feel terrible.

And if you called your surgeon he might have said get to the ER.

Don't worry about that rubbish mate - that's what they get paid for! :)

They will check your blood work to make sure your levels are ok... Leg cramps can be caused from low potassium , they will be able to see all your levels

They should also get you a ct scan to check your gallbladder and kidneys and bowels

Your pretty far out for a leak so I think it's something else

Your almost three months out , you don't have a leak or internal bleeding. Just stay calm, they will figure it out. Just breathe

And get someone up there with you so they will give you pain meds

      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!!

      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... :(
