Just wondering if anyone else out there has developed a blood clot in their intestinal veins after gastric sleeve surgery? I had my surgery Nov. 1. I was back in the hospital Nov. 12 with SEVERE pain in my intestines. Finally, they discovered the blood clot on Nov. 13. My surgeon says that this type of clot is rare. Now that I am a week out from that, I am on blood thinners but wondering how long the intestinal pain will last. Whenever I eat or drink ANYTHING my intestines now are terribly pain ridden. My surgeon said I will have the pain for a while, but couldn't be exact. There have been SOOO many times in the past week where I have asked myself why I went through with the sleeve procedure due to the intestinal pain. Just wondering if anyone knows how long until the intestines heal from this?

Sorry, I can't help but did they give you any blood thinners while you were at the hospital?

I had a blood clot in my kidney several years ago and cause sever pain for about 2 weeks after be by on blood thinners. Should start to ease up once it dissolves. But If gets worse at all go in asap.

From what my surgeon said, it's pretty rare for them to see this from surgery. They did give me blood thinners plus amped me up on heparin, fluids and pain killers for a week while I was at the hospital. That's good to know that the pain from your clot in the kidney started to let up after 2 weeks. Thanks everyone for your thoughts!

Hi. I was hoping you could give us a follow-up. I have this problem as well. Sleeved 10/25/17, ended up in ER with severe intestinal pain 11/8. Was ran through several days of Heparin IVs, now on oral anti- coagulants. New CT will be performed in the morning to check the status of the clot. How long did your pain last and are you experiencing any lingering effects from It? Thanks.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
