  • Maybe you're hypovolemic& need fluids. Go to ER now. You can't treat this alone. Btw really irresponsible of your surgical team to not have an easy way of contacting.

  • IF you have not had any urine output you are probably dehydrated, although they should have given you a ton of fluids while you were there. I hope the surgeon calls back soon.

Do you have a advice nurse with your insurance?

I would put a call into that or urgent care.

She said she didn't know and she tried calling on call surgeon

So are they going to call back?

Do you have help with you?

I would go to the emergency room, dizziness & losing your sight can't be a good thing! Sounds like your potassium is dangerously low!!! GO!
