I HAD MY SLEEVE 20TH AUG AND NOW MY KNEES ARE BREAKING KILLING ME. I'M UP WALKING AROUND AS

I.SHOULD EVERY TWO HOURS BUT IT FEELS LIKE I'M GIVE CHILD BIRTH OUT MY KNEE CAPS. I'M MENTALLY PANICKING THINKING WHAT IF I HAVE A BLOOD CLOT? HAS ANY ONE ELSE BEEN THRU THIS?

If you feel like you are really having a blood clot you need to go to the ER. Do you have pain in your chest? Are you feeling warm and pain in a place like you chest or lower abd? At your inc sites? Is anything coming out of the sites that is green of yellow and smells bad? Do you feel like you are loopy or a little crazy? These can all be s/sx that you have a blood clot. If so you need to go to ER ASAP. If you are just feeling good for a couple of hours then worse and the. Good again, then you maybe able to wait and see md or go to urgent care in the am. Don't work yourself up.try to really ask you the questions of where is pain what is it like and how long has it been going o ? Also the thing about one place bee

Ing warm or oozing fluid color and smell. If you do t ha e any of this you may just have worked yourself up. That is ok if you have Ativan Xanax etc take one and see if it will relax you. You s/sx may be coming from anxiety about your new situation and life. Understood, we have all been there, change is hard and we have all committed to change by having the surgery. This period is like a new birth. We will love it in the end but the labor to get there can be painful. Hang in there! You can do it.

Ok...so if you can point your toes straight out, and then flex your toes torward your knees while flexing the muscles in your legs and there isn't a really sharp pain then it isn't a clot. If you do this and there is a sharp pain....then you should go to the ER. At any rate no matter what do not massage the area whatsoever. You should go in to see your doctor in the morning no matter what. Good luck!

This is my first post but I need help. I had my sleeve done on August 22, and was released on the 24th. I have not had one good night sleep as of yet. I walk often , I probably walk every hour. I have tried the simethicone drops and Bean O. Is this normal , I am already 5 days post op. Does anyone have any answers.

I have, nt experienced anything like this I had my op 19/8, a sign of a blootclot is swollen calfs and heat around the area. I would go to your local hospital and get it checked out, better to have it checked out to put you mind at rest. Hope its all ok.

Thank you so much for the answer but amid all my pain I forgot to mention that my pain was in my stomach ( gas pain). Do you have any suggestions of what I might try besides the things I listed earlier?

You can try windeze or I think in usa you have gas x or something, i, m in uk, I took a couple of windeze and farted for Britain lol :-)

Thanks for the suggestion. I will look for that tomorrow. Hopefully I get some relief soon this pain is unbearable.

I've heard that a heating pad helps.

Great idea, I will try that today. I was just a little discouraged because it seems that most of the other sleevers haven't mentioned this much pain 5 days out.

I know it will get better . All the wonderful people like you are helping me through this. Thanks a million.
