Post op complications



Recommended Posts

They don't feel that I have any problems with circulation. They blame everything on fibro. Except my diarrhoea, they blame that on IBS.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that they are able to get to the bottom of what is causing the complications, and I wish you the best for a speedy recovery and relief from any symptoms and pain that you may have been suffering with.

God bless and stay encouraged! It WILL get better. :)

Thank you! I thought the hardest part would be just missing food! x

Maybe the next time you go in, insist on being admitted. Maybe they can put you in a rehab place for a few weeks. I don't have any other advice, except to let them know how bad it is for you at home..

Gina, I am praying for you right now. Do not give up hope. Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I am being seen in clinic tomorrow on an emergency basis. Will be probably be admitted. This isn't gallbladder but could be C diff or some sort of post antibiotic colitis.

::shudder:: I really hope for your sake it's not c. diff. If it is, is there any chance your other friends' issues are c. diff related? Because if they've got c. diff in the OR suite or the recovery suites, anyone there could have gotten it. That stuff is nasty on so many levels. (speaks the nurse who doesn't work bedside anymore, but still has nightmares about c. diff patients).

My GP phoned the surgical assessment unit because she didn't know what to do. So back on the ward tomorrow at 8 am. I didn't have C diff three weeks ago but I did have IV and oral antibiotics for four weeks. I have no idea what is "normal" IBS-d following vsg but I know that these cramps and spasms in my lower bowel hurt too much to ignore. My stomach itself doesn't hurt. I can drink and eat if I want but once my stomach empties (I can hear it), and fluid/soup etc hits my bowel, they cramp until everything is ejected. No nausea, no vomiting, no fever, doesn't wake me up at night.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
