I just want to echo the other posts - call your surgeon's office. Make sure they know you never saw your bariatric doctor who was supposed to stop by the hospital. Also, it really seems like someone should have come in to explain to you what is going on. I have never had a trip to the ER where the doctor didn't come back and explain/follow-up before discharge. I would ask to see the doctor before letting them discharge you if you do head back to the ER. I hope you feel better!

Always better to find another doc. A month after i was sleeved i woke up with pain on my right side. I thought it was appendix. I went to the er 2 blocks from my house. They drew blood. Everything normal. Started an iv for no reason. Gave me nothing for pain while i was there. They sent me home with a script for tylenol 3 and to call my surgeon on Monday(it was a Saturday that i went to the er). I was still in alot of pain so i went to the er in the next two over about 25 mins away. I told them the previous er gave me no reason for my pain. The new er did every thing to find out what was wrong, ct scan ultrasound urine test blood test. I was admitted to the hospital and had my gallbladder out the next morning. My gallbladder had been blocked for so long my bile was clear instead of green like normal. So getting another doc to look at things is a good idea.

Update: Dr. Said EVERYTHING is fine and looks normal, blood work came back perfect, in his words, so he has no idea why I'm hurting soo bad in my side and back, he said maybe pulled muscles so he wrote me a script for muscle relaxers, oh and he also said that my kidneys would not be causing this pain I'm having. Soo idk just wanted to update Hope everyone has a great day :-)

      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.
