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.

    Thank you for asking mama. I'm exhausted. I saw the surgeon and he said my CRP is 98 it was 1 two weeks ago. This shows infection or inflammation. I had one dose of antibiotics then t

  • Oh sweety, whatever it is, we're here for you, even if it isn't sleeve related. {Hugs}

@dreamingsmall any answers yet?

You might want to ask for an ombudsman or the head of nursing or ask for an infection control physician if you are not getting real answers.
