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.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
