Allergic to meds?



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I was sleeved on the 13th of this month. The first week out I was fine. But literally the week anniversary of my sleeve all hell broke loose. I developed a rash on my tummy near my incisions, diarrhea, and fever. I went into the hospital yesterday afternoon to get evaluated. They did blood work, X rays, and a leak test. In the end, everything looked great except my white blood cell count which was high. The doctors believed I had an allergic reaction to my gallstone meds. So I am now off of those, and on a strict liquid diet for the next couple of days. I stopped taking the gallstone meds and my fever has gone away and my rash.is clearing up. However, I am still having diarrhea and not sure where that is from unless it's the crappy med leaving my body. Any suggestions?

You said you were on a strict liquid diet. This may be the cause of the continued diarrhea. Keep an eye on your other symptoms, temperature, if the rash comes back. Once you are back on more solid diet the loose/liquid stools hopefully will go away. If not, touch base with your doctor again.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
