2 weeks after surgery... Right side pain under ribs.



Recommended Posts

The pain started around around 3 pm on July 20th 2018. Considering, I thought I was already through the bad part directly after surgery... Now 7 hours later I already tryed getting comfortable laying down which is when I tosed my Cookies. I desided I needed to call the doc. He did not seem to be two worried. Telling me everything was normal. The pain the throughing up. I waited for my dad to get home to take my son. I got to the hospital at 12:01 am. Now I have a history of blood clots so that raised flags. We started out with blood work and a cat scan. Then moved into a ultra sound. Come to find out I was being admitted. The docs found gallstones in my gallbladder. The whole gallbladder needed removing. Tge Dr was going to go through my old insisions but come to find out one was infected. So that got properly sanitized and packed thank goodness. I just figured I would share my story considering all the ones I read did not state anything about this problem.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
