Thank you for sharing your story - good for everyone to know the risks, however unlikely they may be. You had really good judgment to know that something was wrong and act on it quickly!

Heal fast, get better soon!

Surgeon I spoke with this morning quoted a 0.7% chance of a portal vein thrombosis complication with any gastric surgery. Always seems small and unlikely....until it happens to you >.<

I agree, the risks are very low, until you're the one with the problem

Wow! So sorry you had to be in that small percentage and hope you are getting better. I know about being the one fitting in the minute percentage though mine was not life threatening. I have drop foot from hip revision surgery which happens to only 1% of people. This is a partial paralysis of my foot which is NO fun to live with.

Hang in there and keep us posted on how you are doing. I know your cats need a crazy lady to take care of them.

Scary!

Did you ever have any clotting issues before? Or anyone in your family?

Did they figure out why you had the clot? Any sort of mutation?

[Mews 37]

I hope things clear up soon! It sucks being in that small percentage that gets the complication. Did your doctor mention what blood thinners he wants you on? Also, you may want to get checked out by a hemotologist afterwards to make sure you don't have a genetic predisposition to clots. I found out I had one the hard way. Hang in there!

A newbie lurker here wishing you the best. Horrible events to you but I have to say that I am majorly impressed that you were able to drive yourself home. And four hours distance. Independent there aren't you!!! In the language of Anne of Green Gables "you are a kindred spirit"
