I would probably go the ER just to be sure, you don't want to risk it -it could cost you your life and you've already come so far.

If you point your toes toward your head and it hurts really bad it is most likely a clot, but that isn't 100% --so go to the ER to be safe. Let me know how it goes.

Please just either call your surgeons office or go somewhere to be seen... doesn't even have to be an er it could be a walk in clinic. Better to be safe than sorry! And please update us to let us know how you are doing now!

Usually a blood clot is painful, swelling, area is warm but this is just what I have seen, in some patients I have had, it has not happened to me so I do not know if this is how they start , I would have this checked out to be on the safe side dear. Please keep us updated, prayers your way.

When I had a clot, it felt like a bad cramp in my calf muscle. I would recommend calling your doc if you're nervous.

Ditto. My DVT felt like a bad charlie horse when I was standing or applying pressure. Especially up and down steps. I would advise you to go have it checked out immediately. Please let us know. Best of luck!

Well i went to the er since we don't have an all night clinic around. Doctor isn't completely ruling out a blood clot but doesn't think it is, he said it sounds like a nerve issue. Can't remember exactly the name of my diagnosis, but I'm supposed to check up with my doctor. And I'm going to keep praying its nothing to bad.

Please check with someone else. I am not trying to discredit ER doctors, but many of them are over worked and want you in and out. I have never had a problem with an ER doctor, but other people have. Your doctor knows and loves you.

If there is a suspected blood clot, the ER doc should have immediately scheduled you for a Doppler (ultrasound) of your leg to rule it out. I would call your surgeon if you still have the pain and get it checked out. This is something that could be very serious.

We had a patient come in with a swollen calf and we ordered a Doppler and sure enough he had a blood clot. It is serious go to another er or doctor. He should have had that test done to be sure.

And if the other ER confirms, get a lawyer, and sue the first for negligence.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
