Internal Bleeding And Now Abscess



Recommended Posts

So, im writing this after having to swallow 8 pills. I had internal bleeding after my vsg surgery and they had to go back in to remove a softball sized clot...then I received 2 liters of blood. Once I started feeling better at home my back was hurting...it hurt to breathe in deeply. I mentioned this to my surgeon and he ordered a ct scan. The day after the scan I went in to discuss the findings and was kept in the hospital overnight given IV antibiotics for an abscess by my spleen. I refused a biopsy after they told me the risks so they gave me antibiotics to take home. Now I have to take 2 tabs of zofran (anti nausea) with the flagyl and cipro 2x a day and have to wrap the flagyl in tissue just so the taste doesn't make me vomit. During the day I take nexxium, my Multivitamin and Iron supplement. I take hydrocodone for the pain and my regular meds...ugh. ok, rant over.

Thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers...every positive thought helps...im trying to remain positive, but also not getting my hopes too high. Since starting the antibiotic therapy I've had less pain and am able to do more. And the tricks I've found to avoid extreme nausea are helping me deal.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
