Well, was doing well. had it on March 22. But in last 3 days have gotten weak, muscles hurt really bad, can hardly walk! Assume its a protein deficiency. Going for lab work today if I can walk from the car to the Dr. office. This is scary. I may not have followed the plan totally right, but thought I had been drinking enough of the shakes..........this is reallly terrible! I wonder how long I will feel like and be a virtual invalid!

Got blood clot, nearly died. Lots of damage.....been on back for 8 days. Horrible pain.................Sorry I decided to have this done. I am a mess!

Sorry you had to go through that. However, blood clots are a risk with any surgery.

Did you receive Lovenox before surgery?

Ouch! Was the blood clot band-related? Your comment that you are sorry you had this done suggests it is... where was the clot and did they have an explanation of how you got it?

Rest up -- I'm so glad they caught it in time!!

When you are well enough, I hope you let us know how it all went down. Hop you have a speedy recovery and I am so sorry this happened to you.

egads!! How scary!! I hope you're not all alone at home now while you're recuperating! I hope you'll fill us in when you're up to writing more. I'll send lots of healing thoughts your way.

Good God. If you went that many days without treatment, you ARE lucky you didn't die. Be grateful your angels were watching over you!!
