welcome home Julia! Glad you're feeling better.

Did they let you know what caused it? Are you at risk for it to happen again.

just throwing this out there but if any of you post op have pinpoint chest pain, that is pain that you can point right too (typically to one side of the chest or the other) you should seek medical attention immediatly, 1000 times more so if you get SOB. This is a great EARLY catch story! I'm very glad your doing ok and let us know how your continuing to do!!!

I totally agree! We nurses are the worst patients! I have pt, OT and a home health nurse reminding me of that daily!

I had the surgery May 15 and have lost 45 lbs. have a follow- up tomorrow with the surgeon; hoping that he got all the records from the ICU!

A medic saved my life in the ER. Young man hooked me up and murmured "inverted T waves" which got everything rolling. He also got me to radiology stat for the CT scan which showed all the clots. You guys are great!

Having a medic and nurse on the RNYTalk boards will be very helpful! Please, PLEASE don't ever hesitate to pipe in if you think someone should seek their surgeon or medical help. Quite often folks post things here that make me scratch my head as to why they haven't called their surgeon/bariatric center to confirm it's nothing or to confirm they need to go in. I'd love for folks who see these things and dangerous signs and symptoms to feel comfortable to pipe in.

So glad you're feeling better julia! Welcome to the boards dstollery and good luck with your journey as well.

I'd be glad to be any help I can on these boards; send me a PM on Facebook or an email if you need to.

Had a great checkup yesterday at the surgeon, and I walked all over Mercy Hospital (got lost!) with little shortness of breath. Dr Awais is very happy with the progress, especially since the blood clot adventure (Which put me in a local hospital, not his). Going back in 6 weeks, and he wants me to stay off work for another month. Fine with me with this hot, hot weather!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
