I'm not doing well

So tired. Went to the Dr this morning bacause I'm not feeling any energy, in fact it's worse. 17 days post-op. Have had to start metformin & glimeperide again. Forgot to tell the Dr I've had diarrhea since yesterday, so waiting on Dr to call back and see if they want to add more blood work. I'm wondering if I'm dehydrated? I'm lucky to get 45 ounces in. Can't stomach whey protein. Took one sip and started to gag. I may have to go to the hospital at this point. Any ideas?

Dr says they've contacted my Surgeon. They saw a possible perforation in my chest cavity. I've had pain with some liquids and food. Doing an upper Gi soon. I'm scared of having surgery again.

Well crap! Sorry to hear this and please keep us posted.
I’ll be thinking about you tonite gabybab

So sorry you are going through so much!!!! Hang in there! Hopefully you will get things straightened out and feel better soon.

Oh my oh my Gabybab you have had a rough start to things but I believe you still can succeed because you are tougher than,anyone else could guess. Keep strong, keep committed and you will,be as successful as anyone else.

Oh no,so sorry. You poor thing. I am sure they will get ya up and running,just a downer with all these complications. Remember in the end you are on the loser bench with the rest of us. We are rooting for you!

I must have a virus. I was so weak and ran a fever for 3 days. I seen to feel a little better, but still weak. I'm going to try and get more food in today. I'm at 40 lbs lost and I've not had a lot of nutrition. I ate some fruit, first time since surgery and going to eat eggs in a bit.

Thanks for all your concerns! I love this site! You ALL are amazing!!??

I’m so sorry about the virus but so glad it wasn’t something more serious. So you DID have air bubbles this far out?

Yes. He said there was 3 small air bubbles. Weird thing is I've had the shoulder and back pain this past week. Had it after surgery 1 day and not again till this last week. This radiologist was so caring. He said I'm going to make sure this means nothing. They had me so freaked out, but he assured me. I have a follow up with my surgeon on Friday. I'm so ready to feel better. Thanks for caring!

Wow!! This had to have been so freaking scary! Shoulder/chest pain and a fever?! Of course you must’ve been thinking leak. Who wouldn’t?! I hope those 3 find their way out as quickly as possible!
