Blood Clot Anyone?
jasonswartz replied to windycitymom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, yes I had severe pain and swelling in my right leg week 2 post op. Went to local A&E and was told I have DVT. I was given a 5 day course of injections (blood thinners) to desolve any clots. After 5 day course had to have a scan/ultrasound on my legs to check if any clots left. Thankfully, there were none. I have to wear compression knee hifh socks for 4 weeks. Read up on symptoms and things to look out for on DVT. This saved my life because if I had left it I could of had a heart attack or a clot on my lung. -

Hi All, just returned from my DVT scan and got the all clear. No Warfarin tablets, Yippee. Told to wear compression socks for the next 4 weeks. Don't have a problem with that. Thanks guys for your kind words.

Well day 7 post op did not start off great. 4:30am woke up with stabbing pain in right upper leg. Quick look on Internet and suggests DVT. Called taxi and went to hospital A&E. Leg swelled up a bit and very tender to touch. D-dimer blood test confirmed very high levels. Given a 5 day corse of Anticoagulation medicine to inject tummy and next Friday go for scan on legs. The pain now is a hot dull burning sensation. Awful feeling.
