My daughter had Gastric Sleeve surgery 3 months ago. She was given A prescription of Xarelto to prevent blood clots the same day as surgery. This was an outpatient surgery. She was bleeding terribly at the wound site. I called the doctor and he said not to bring her in that he would see her the next morning. I took her in and she was in extreme pain and still bleeding very bad. He said she was okay for the 4 hour drive home. I was extremely concerned. He said to skip the Xarelto for 1 day then start back. She was in terrible pain on the 3rd day after surgery and was very pale and weak. We called the doctor and told him what was going on. He said NOT to take her to the hospital. Against his wishes we took her anyway. She was almost dead from internal bleeding when she got there. They gave her several units of blood and rushed her to a larger hospital. Since then she has had 3 leaks and 3 infected hematomas. Has anyone ever had an experience like this? She is still trying to get well..
