Furious and back to ER I go!

Put it under your tongue to allow it to dissolve. It absorbs better.

Update:

I was cut open and drained lots of that abscess.... Took a while to get everything out and it was so unpleasant stinky and painful at times even though they numbed me. Staying overnight for observation. I am already slightly relieved. Hopefully it will be better from now on!

Thanks all for prayers and support!

Prayers for a quick recovery :)

Hopefully they are giving you abx AND fluids via iv as well whilst you are staying overnight. Fluids are very important as well. Just take ALL your medicine as directed and you should recover nicely. May need a few extra days off work though. Keep up the good work. And yes I always get copies of all my own labs, test results and scans for myself. Good thing you did too. Good luck!

Ok.. I gotta vent... I am so furious right now!

I had my surgery at a hospital an hour away because this surgeon is awesome. On Sunday when I wasn't feeling well we decided to go to ER by our house...that's where I found out I have seroma after a cat scan.

I was still feeling very crappy since then went to my surgeon, they obtained a copy of cat scan report from the ER and guess what... No seroma! But I have a huge Abcess!OMG! Really!

So now we are on the way to the hospital where I had surgery to the ER to have my surgeon open me up and drain the Abcess after which I will start antibiotics.

Also going to get Doppler on my leg to make sure I am not forming a blood clot...

Wow really really struggling right now but now they all can see I am not crazy, I am miserable for a reason!

Please pray for me!

Sending you prayers. Hang in there. Better days ahead.

I ended up being in hospital for 4 days... Have been home for few days now and went back to work today. It was a tough day, I got pretty tired but hoping I will keep getting better. Right now just taking care of my wound from the Abcess with packing everyday, my dr thinks it will probably take about a month to heal up.

Thank you everyone for all your prayers, thoughts and support... I can finally say I am doing better! I am back at work, although my energy is not back yet and I get tired fast but I am not crying anymore and I am not nauseous anymore. Still have to take care of my wound everyday and hoping it will heal without getting infected but so far so good. Wouldn't have done it without all of you and your support! There were times I really didn't believe it will get better. I am 4 weeks post op tomorrow and starting to see some of my clothes getting bigger which is really nice!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
