In the ER.......

[Cutepretty1 121]

I had my procedure 12/08/2015. Last weekend I was having really bad cramps that went away the next day. Last night I started to feel pain in my right side under my rib cage. The pain is between where I had my JP drain and my largest incision site. When I touched the area it was tender and I could feel a nodule so I placed a heating pad on it for approximately 20 minutes. No luck the pain was still there. I decided I needed to come to the ER and now I'm sitting here with an IV waiting to get a cat scan as the NP indicated the nodule/abscess is the size of a pea. I am praying and hoping it's nothing major.

I am praying it's nothing major either but am glad you are getting it checked out.

Thinking of you. I hope it's nothing serious. (((hugs)))

Thank you all. Good news is no leak but inflamed diverculitis.....The NP called my surgeon I have to go in the office next week. I was given a prescription for pain but nothing for antibiotics. I will keep you posted on what the surgeon says next week. Have a wonderful day!

Thanks for the update. I am glad they were able to figure out what it was and at least treat the pain. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I had diverticulitis attack last summer.This was before I had the sleeve. It was the 5th attack in 2 years.I was told I was a "waking time bomb." If it ruptures you can die from the sepsis that comes with the rupture. So happy I took there avice

they removed 2 feet of my colon in June. Make sure you see the doctor about yours.Good Luck.Yanitexan68
