Of course this happens on Sunday! I started having trouble on Thursday with not doing well with anything I had to chew so I scaled back to pureed, and kept at that on Friday and by Saturday night I decided to try a piece of grilled chicken. I had four or five tiny bites and threw it all up and it was this really gross thick, yellow sludge. I woke up today and felt alright, had my protien shake and halfway through church started shaking and sweating and kept getting lightheaded and dizzy. I can't eat anything (shakes are still ok) and all of a sudden now one of my incisions hurts like crazy (off pain meds for four days) and my left chest and jaw hurt. I know those are heart attack signs but I don't feel that crappy, just worse and worse. Hubby wants to go to ER and I want to go to bed. Thoughts?

ER! Could be nothing, could be something major. Go!

My opinion--go to the ER. You have no idea what is causing these problems and neither do we.

Call 911

Please go to the ER and than hopefully you can tell us you're fine.

Call your surgeon immediately AND go to the ER.

So what was it??? Anxious to know

I hope you are okay!!! Please let us know how you are doing.

Thanks for all the support guys! I just got home and after lots of IV fluid and few trips to radiology I feel a whole lot better. I will be fine, but the doctors LOVE to give you IV pain meds and then try to talk to you. Zero chance that I remember much more than 'scans look ok' and something about the phrenic nerve and the diaphragm and referred pain.

You must be relieved and we are, too. Thanks for the update.

God Speed

Glad you're ok!
