When is it necessary to go to ER

If you had surgery very recently, you were probably given a hospital discharge paper that described when to contact your surgeon's office. Review the list and see if any of your symptoms fit that description. If you conditions are very severe then take action and go to the ER.

This question is too generalized. It is difficult to provide any advise, if one does not know what is wrong, where the problem lies.

Good rules If you can't stand the pain and thing,it is worth the trip. If you have tried easy home remedies and they aren't working. If you are bleeding and it's bright red blood, if it isn't your time of month or you are bleeding from a body opening that usually blood does come out of, if you can't reach your doctor and you thinkit can't wait another day, if you're not urinating, if you are vomitting and you think you are going to pass out, if you can't drink and your skin "tents", that means if you take a pinch of your skin and it doesn't flatten out. Those are some actions that deserve attention, better to to go and find out it's nothing or easily managed than to imperil your life staying home. Most things get better by the morning, but some of these won't. Hugs!😛

Since you are a month post op it is not clear if you are asking about a surgery related problem or something unrelated. Maybe a little more information, feel free to PM me if you don't want to put it out in public.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
