5 days post op-dehydration and pneumonia



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was sleeved on 26 April in San Francisco and was planning to fly home tomorrow. However during the night I got quite sick and spent all day today in the emergency room. They told me I was severally dehydrated and have pneumonia in my right lung.

Does anybody have experience with dehydration and pneumonia post op?

thanks,

So sorry to hear that you got sick after surgery! I haven't been sleeved yet, so can't give you any advice, but I'm wishing you a very speedy recovery!

I wonder why you are dehydrated. Did you not sip on liquids throughout the day when you were in the hospital? People can get pneumonia from being in bed and not walking around. Did they give you something to blow in throughout the day at the hospital?

I am sure you're on antibiotics and just remember you have to constantly sip sip sip to get your fluids in so you don't get dehydrated again.

I wasn't dehydrated, but I had double pneumonia. My primary doc told me to admit myself into ER, so I did. Alot of antibiotics and breathing. I am still recovering, but doing much better.
