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.

HI Lillie , thank you for being so kind and checking on me, it means alot, I hear the saying of needin to get worse to get better, I am in the phase of not feeling better, but have a lot of pain relief through my drip which helps.

I have been moved to my own side room which is nice so not with other patience and I have a window so nice fresh air is coming so that nice! I have not been eating and drinking much but trying, how are you?

@dreamingsmall, so good to hear you are on the better side of the, even if it's still a steep climb. It's good to know you have a good medical team

I had my last "solid" food just now, a protein bar. It's liquids till Wednesday night, then NPO. Hospital at 6 am Thursday. I'm down 14 lbs so far. No nerves about surgery. Please keep in touch, and keep healing!

Good luck with surgery!!! I had a very difficult time during the night because the hospital bed caused horrible back pain (had a L5-S1 fusion in 2007) but otherwise hardly needed my pain pump. The next 2 days at home were awful, sleeping upright on a couch for maybe an hour at a time.

Since then it has been smooth sailing with a few hiccups. I’ve gotten what’s known as the foamies a few times from meds and once when I took a sip of water during a meal [emoji849]. Had some bad days but otherwise surgery was awesome! If you feel anxiety the night before or regret immediately after, you aren’t alone!

@dreamingsmall I am still praying they find out what is going on....godspeed

Hi everyone thank you so much for your kindness i had no idea this post was still alive honestly your all so kind, i am unfortunately still in hospital its lonely in here now im in a side room on my own so i just look out the window. i am in alot of pain, so on

slow release morphine, 10mls liquid morphine, IV pain killers 2 types, zopiclone to help me sleep through the pain. and some other stuff. I cant keep up with whats going through these drips, im quite dehydrated my veins keep tisuing ive had alot of fluid through iv but trying to drink but its making it hard for them to find my veins, still unable to have a cholonoscopy done yet as they sai it will make things worse for me right now as my bowels are still severely inflamed but they are trying to make me as comfertable as possible.

I can say i have never been more forgetful, because i know i have seen a hell of alot of consultants and doctors, but i dont feel any closer to an answer because it seems until i get abit better they can not do much in ways of treatement. they dont want to give me steriods yet as it will make me quite unwell they said its all abit confusing.

ive asked for alittle break between meds so i can hold onto my senses for a minute but i am quite sore at the moment, who would have thought id still be here?? I sit here staring at the clock between 9pm-11pm is sleeping tablet time lol depends were they start. Its almost funny that i my surgery to help my health but then this thing thats wrong with me now could not have been stopped by the surgery and neither could it have been found as it wasnt there then its one of those unfortunate things.

without the meds im crying in pain i wish i didnt need it, my job is to try and drink as much as i can, the staff keep trying to ask me to eat and watching my food i said look at me guys im obese lol if i could eat i would i love food!! lol my friends who visit me are even checking on me to check ive eaten and drinking its like i have swapped worlds lol.

i wish i could give you an actual update that makes any sense, but im so in limbo. thank you so much everyone for your kindness. to be honest ive had symptoms of being unwell for alittle while now but i just thought they were sleeve related , ive let myself down really, all my posts like " ive lost my apetite" "ive been having chills" tummy aches all symptoms to whats wrong but i had no idea. its so horrible being here its like my life has stopped. yet my life outside is still continuing so im stressed with everything i need to be doing. and when i am eventually allowed home that wont be the end of it. aswell as the treatment im having here il have to continue when i go home, but this probblem isnt caused by being over weight i didnt see this coming.:(

thank you all

I feel so awful for you. Gut issues are difficult to diagnose and treat sometimes. Hang in there.

I really wish you a speedy recovery. I hope you get some resolution soon. Keep us updated. We care.
