Might need another surgery.

After suffering all weekend. I ended up in the emergency room. With pain.

I have had a blood gas and there is infection in my blood stream. We are waiting for further bloods. I have quite a severe infection somewhere in my stomach. I'm not sure if its sepsis yet.

I've been admitted. And waiting for the surgical team to see me as they think it's my gallbladder infected? Or something.

I thought it might be my gallbladder but I was embarrassed to come in incase it was gas. I've been feeling so Ill but thought with a sleeve and not eating much I thought I'm 11 weeks in and just getting used to things.

I need to not be hard on myself. I've been crying doubled over in pain all weekend. But kept thinking I'm just being silly. As soon as I got Here they brought me straight in and gave me morphine. The consultant Dr even said I had a high pain threshold when I was getting the blood gas done so she said I should have come straight in as I was crying it was that bad

Anyone notice anything out the ordinary always go in. :)

I have fluids in my drip. Waiting for iv antibiotics.

On the positive I still love my sleeve my blood pressure was normal today! ( I used to Suffer from high bb that would be even worse if I'm in pain or in Hosp.

The consultant asked me why I had a sleeve I said " because I was fat " she said " you don't look fat at all!! Well I suppose you were 11 weeks ago " its nice to not look as fat.

Prayers for a great recovery. I waited, a couple weeks ago, with incredible pain -- had a very large kidney stone resulting in surgery unexpectedly. How glad we are that you got in and are going to be great. And kudos on 11 weeks!

Ouch! that must have been painful , and thank you for the kudos, i am glad i found this place as alot of people told me to go in with some other symptoms i had so im glad i listened i am really a wait it out kind of person lol hope your kidney stone is better

@dreamingsmall praying for good test results and please let 'us' know. Your sleeve family cares about you.

dreamingsmall, so glad to see your update. I've had many colonoscopies, and all I can say is "good drugs" and it's not bad at all. That being said, its normal to be a bit scared, and when you already feel punk, it's even more understandable.

You will continue to be in prayers. Healing & peace be with you!

Yes please keep us posted! Thinking of you and sending positive healing energy your way!


Well that stinks. Sorry this happened on the heels of surgery. Its been in the back of my mind with all of the pretests: what if they find something wrong along the way??

Thank you all for still being with me here, not much to update, my symptoms have got worse, i wont go into them as they are gross. i am on more pain meds, they told me today they can not do the cholonoscopy yet as my bowel is to inflamed so they do not want to do it yet , i am on the surgical ward but being moved to another ward tommorow .

What is happening now could not have been found before as unfortunatly it is a new issue , I am not feeling so good if i am honest. but honestly everyone youve been so nice so i dont want my irrelevent post getting in the way of people who need support for their sleeve :)

Thats good if they find something before, than after, then usually they fix it then go ahead with surgery :) But try not to worry
