Just back from the ER and, thankfullly, not DVT. Thank goodness for insurance that, even if it wouldn't cover VSG, will absolutely cover today's ER visit. The ER doc, after ultrasound and some blood

Go to the er. You can get a clot in your arm, I know someone who did. Better safe than sorry.

You all have no idea how wonderful it feels on this end too

I spent the first 30 hours post-op nauseated beyond anything I could even have fathomed pre-op and about wanted to die. Eventually I got some advice from folks here and my Dr. called me in a phenergan suppository to my pharm. Now I'm still nauseous, but only like a 3 on the nausea scale (rather than the 9/10 of twelve hours ago).
Now, though, I woke up last night with my right forearmarm is swollen and achey and half-golfball-sized lump right between my bicep and deltoid. My Dr. said to go to ER immediately if my calf got swollen and achy as it means a likely blood clot, but it's my arm instead. I called the on-cal doc around 4 am who said "up to you, either go in now or call me back in the morning." What do you all think?
