Was sleeved on 4/24 and 5 days layer started having severe back pain. Surgeon sain it was a trapped had bubble and to wait it out. Pain Was so bad my husbandmade me go to the ER Today. Giant blood clot in my liver. WTF! Now in the ICU. Sorry. .. rant over

Bless your heart. Had you been walking and all of the things seem to be going normal before this? Please keep us posted, God Bless!!!

Sorry to hear you are going thru this no matter the reason for this problem! Hope you feel better soon!!

Thankfully your husband didn't listen to the doctor and made you go in! Blood clots are dangerous and can certainly mimic the pain of trapped air post surgery.

I wish you all the best in your recovery. Unfortunately, blood clots are a possibility with any surgery.

Take care!

Yikes!!

How are you doing? I'm sending you healing vibes. Keep us posted when you are up to it.

I had a blood clot. It was the worst pain imaginable. I will be wishing you well.

I wish you a speedy recovery. Thanks for sharing your experience - it's important for people (especially those who haven't yet had sleeve surgery, like me) to hear the negative stories along with the positive ones. This is serious business. So happy that your husband took care of you and that the problem was found!

That's disappointing news. I hope you are on the road to recovery now. Take good care of yourself! Sounds like a very supportive husband, btw.

How scary. So glad your husband took action. How did the docs deal with the blood clot? Please keep is posted and let us know you're okay. Sending prayers and good thoughts your way! ????

Hey there, sorry to hear about your situation but I am hoping you can educate us as well. I was sleeved on 4-23 and was back in the hospital also due to discolored drainage, it was neon green and even a brown color when it should have only been red or yellow. They sent me home without a problem saying that since there was no pain or fever, that it was not an infection but that the drain was showing gastric juices and possible feces. I dont know how that happens and its not a problem but I'm ok.

I was wondering if you were given the blood clot injections to use at home and if you used them the entire time. I was suppose to use them for 14 days and only did for 5, just couldnt give them to myself. Yet i notice this horrible radiating pain on my right side around my shoulder and underarm area...

what other symptoms other than pain did you have? How long did you experience the pain? I guess this far out, I should be ok, I hope. What is being done to correct this issue?

Thanks

I am so, so sorry!!!! Focus on nothing but getting better!

How scary! I hope they can bust that clot quickly and get you back to normal ASAP! Best wishes for a quick recovery!

Update.... I spent 6 days in the ICU and another week in the hospital. I am home now with 2x daily injections of blood thinners.

This was a horrible experience and I feel like I am starting to recover from the beginning. I am super weak and can't get much down. Plus, the damn shots make me nauseous! Feel like I can't win right now.,... at least I am out of the hospital though.

Thank you for all of you kind thoughts and words.
