sorry to hear that you haven't a hard time.. my thoughts and prayers with you. Once you get some iv fluids in you and some antibiotics you will feel so much better. Did they confirm that you had a PE?

Thanks to EVERYONE for the kind words of encouragement & inspiration!! I have pulmonary embolism and I'm currently on blood thinners to get rid of the clots..I'm very dehydrated but hopefully the iv fluids will help me with that. The way that I'm feeling I know it can't be worst so it's only uphill from here...thanks you guys!!!

Ok silly woman on all the meds, it's downhill / easier from here on out please! No more bad stuff! LOL

ok sorry, I don't want you to giggle because that probably hurts like hell right now. Please know that we're all here for you and pulling for you. Pneumonia isn't all that uncommon after surgery unfortunately. Now that you're in the hospital (sucky place to be, but it's a good thing you're getting the care you need right now!) you'll be getting the good drugs and kick it out of your system asap! Is your surgeon part of your team of doctors right now?

I feel so bad for you *hugs!* and wish you were home and comfy and recuperating. Like my mom tells me "Can't you just do things the easy way?!" lol

Feel better soon!

xoxo, Renee`

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
