Back at the doctor's office because I have a blood clot between where the did the surgery and my liver. He put me on a blood thinner. That's what was causing my pain. The pain is not as bad as it was this past Wednesday.

Just like me to be ass wards back. Lol. Wait two after for crap to start happening. I'm in good spirits. Don't want food. I have to force myself to eat. I love my popicles

I was sleeved on Nov. 1 and about two weeks later was back in the hospital with an intestinal blood clot. The pain was excruciating -- I literally felt like I was dying. I've been on blood thinners for a month now and the pain has mostly subsided. There are still random days when I have pain, but it's much better one month out. Did the doc say if your clot is in your intestines? If it is, my understanding is that you and I are part of a VERY small club of sleevers.

I hit the "like" button, but I can't really like it. At least they have found the problem and you are making progress. Good luck, and heal quickly!

I'm glad it is something that was caught before it turned into something worse.

I see this post is a little bit older, so I was wonder how long were you guys on blood thinners? I was two weeks post-op and I returned to the ER they found I have a blood clot in my portal vein leading to my liver. I on blood thinners, but still in a lot of pain. How long did it take for the pain to subside, I want to go back to work so I really do not want to take blood thinners

Unfortunately, it took a while for my pain to go away. I was in significant pain for about 1.5 months after I started the blood thinner then it started to improve. In total, I would say it took a good 3 months until the pain subsided entirely. My vascular surgeon is keeping me on the blood thinners for an additional three months to make sure the clot has dissolved. This will bring my total time on blood thinners to 9 months. Ultimately, as you have probably discovered, there aren't many online resources available on this topic because these clots are pretty rare. I did eventually find a message board made up of people with these types of clots, but it seemed like most of the people on there were still dealing with the clot pain years later. Once I read that, I had no issue with taking the blood thinner if it would eventually dissolve the clot and eliminate the significant pain that it was causing. Stay strong, you will make it through this awful pain and it will eventually seem like it was just a blip on the screen to your lighter self. For a while I doubted my decision to have the surgery because I ended up with the clot as a result, but now seeing the results 7 months out I have no regrets.

Once I was on the blood thinner, my pain went away in a week. I just stopped taking the blood thinner last Sunday. It will get better

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
