To The Emergency Room I Go...



Recommended Posts

Well I had my surgery on 7/24/12 and a few days after I felt great despite the gas. About the 6th day post-op I started feeling very fatigued, to the point I could barely get up. I mentioned to the doctor that I had dark tarry stool and they ran some test and said I was better then when I was there surgery day.

Well early this morning I began to throw up blood and my stool was bloody red. I called them and they said to get to the ER as fast as I can.

I am very very fatigued, cloudy headed and to be honest with you regretting this decision. I wanted to do this to better my life for my kids and myself. Now all I can think about is if they will be able to manage life without a father.

I hope this is something they can quickly diagnose and resolve and I am back to normal, my fear is they had a chance to diagnose originally but did not so they don't know what's going on.

Obviously this surgery isn't 100% and it shouldn't be perceived as so, I guess that's where I was wrong. All I could see was a healthier me that I stopped considering the possibilities of major issues. I don't want to live my life weak and wiltered like this. It's the complete opposite reason for me doing this.

Oh noooo, I hope everything goes OK for you. When you mentioned that your poop was tarry and black, my first thought was that you were still bleeding or bleeding from something. Please don't regret the surgery because you can't turn back. Think positive and you will get over this bump and continue to be healthy. Some of us do have set-backs but it will only make you stronger. Look forward to running around with your kids and having fun... it will be here soon enough for you !!!! Get well soon !!!

      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?
