April the 5 I had the gadtric bypass.my age is 63 and my weight is 251 lbs. I awakened in the recovery room in severe pain. The morpine eased the pain the most. Then 5 hours later my pain changes to a soreness. Feels like i just did 500 abdominal crunches. And continues to this way for the next 5 days.
I watched my blood presure and blood sugar drop several times a day. Taking no pre-surgery routine medications. Only needing pain med two times a day. Noticed on Sunday April 9th, that i was feeling out of air with any activity. Increse in sleeping throughout the day. On Monday morning I awakrned at 3:30am with a low blood sugar and a temperature. Continued to feel airless all day, temp was up and down.
Around 6:00pm on Monday. I decided to check into the Emergency Department. Lot of tests. And my diagnosis is pneaumonia and an infection in my leg. Been back in the hospital for 3 days. Ecpected discharge date is Saturday, April 15.
