3.5 Months Out - Bleeding



Recommended Posts

this is a classic case of why people "rant" elsewhere. ok no blood now so ill just wait til it happens again. seriously folks, when blood flows from areas of your body it does not normlly flow from. see your doctor tht day! if that was said with too much passion....i dont care. i used to be a volunteer firefighter emt. i prefer live people to dead ones so i take this seriously. when blood is involved, waiting for more is not terribly bright.

thank ypu cherry. i re read that post and while it was riddled with typos (thank you valium) i did mean to impart a strong sense of urgency. this could be a life and deAth thing. a bunch of idiots guessing could lead tothe womans death

Iggy just try to be a little more sensitive. This isn't the first time you've offended. Like above where u refer to the people in this forum as " a bunch of idiots". Ease up and maybe reduce the Valium a tad.

suz, i have a strong affinity for live people. dead people are debbie downers imo. so when i see some one posting a question which could present a serious issue in the near future for a poster i respond with an appropriate level of urgency to the situation.

note that idid not agree or disagree this could be hemoroids as she wished us to say. nor did i mention her tom because the absence of that in her first post lead me to believe that was not an issue. i in fact offered no possible diagnosis because she is not my patient and i am not her doctor. people offer up possible diagnoses to posts of this nature are in fact not living at the top of the mental food chain. that helpful chitter chat could lead to some ones death.

im not going to shy away from a post like this because if one out of five people posting this type of thing goes "oh geeze i should go to the er". than ive done the right thing.

DO NOT insult my medical condition. the valium makes it difficult to see my key board clearly so i often miss spaces or hit the wrong letter. it does not make me mean if you aretrying to say that. not funny and definately worth an apology.

I had a colonoscopy about 4 years ago. It was fine. Not taking Colace. It has stopped since this morning but did gi give me a scare. If it starts up again, I'll have it checked...who do I go to? Family dr or gyno dr?

either Dr can direct you to what is needed and check I would chose to go to my Gyno as they do rectal exams too.

First off, my apologies to anyone who was offended, nobody here is an idiot. Thank you all for your concern and kind responses to the original posters question.

For the OP, honestly, if I was bleeding, I would place a call immediately to my doctor to ask their opinion. At this stage, it is unlikely to be something from your surgery. But it definitely could be a sign of a number of other possible medical issues. Just to be safe, make the call, and please let us know what you find out. We are worried about you.

I woke up this morning fo my routine shower and hair washing. When I went to the bathroom soon after' date=' there was alot of bright red blood on the toilet paper and streams of blood in the toilet. I went three other times at home and still the same result. I do have some abdominal pain but I worked out a little harder last night. So I knocked that up the mucle pain from the workout. Just went again from work and no blood, more of just mild stains of blood on the paper. Could this just be hemmoroids or something I should worry about?[/quote']

I am sure you'll see your doctor and take the safer route. I just wanted to share with you my experience.

I have bleeding when I work out hard. I went to the doctor for it and she said some womens bodies are sensitive to the movement of exercise. Sure enough everytime I go the distance I have bleeding.

At first this was very alarming to me, but now I know to expect it.

Wishing You Wellness,

Sannah

Update - No bleeding since yesterday. I did call my Gastric dr and the nurse said as long as it is bright red blood, its not coming from the stomach. So I called my family dr and have appt next week. I'll update when I find out something.

I have noticed i crave to snack all day again. Im 3 months out...is this normal? I snack on under 100 cal Snacks and dont eat alot for Breakfast, lunch and supper...all together, I think I'm still under 600-700 calories a day. What do you snack on?

I appreciate all the input, both harsh and concerned. THank you so much. I know I can always count on this group. :wub:

Glad ur ok! Yes, bright red is a good sign. Most likely a hemroid. I'm not a doctor, but my dad is, so that's who I asked to give you my opinion. And I know from 3 pregnancies about hemroids! TMI. ;)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
