I Have A Question About Going To The Bathroom

[lessofmeismore 1,405]

Lindsay, let us know what the ER says... For your own safety have them run a CT scan with iv contrast and bloodwork... Don't let them dismiss it as dehydration, even though you probably are dehydrated...you have something going on inside...time to figure out what so you can start healing.

You are important and deserve some attention right now.

You're in my prayers!

My name is Lisa. I'll talk with you soon!!!

And my name is Dawn. Please call your surgeon as well. You might need a barium swallow CAT and straight xray don't diagnose a leak as well especially if it's small. And xray though will tell you if you are having Fluid build up in your plural sac which is common with high leaks and can be deadly (thats the balloon your lungs sit in, they fill up with Fluid and it crushes your lung tissue causing shortness of breath and weakness).

And by the way...for the CAT be sure to INSIST on contrast die that is injected, not swallowed! (For the cat scan only...the barrium must be swallowed). The CAT dye is not recommended for sleevers delivered via mouth.

Insist that your surgeon be called immediately, tell her you will not do anything until they speak with him. Tell them that your stomach is swelled shut and you need help. If she cannot help you, get another Dr.

Do exactly as stated above. Demand another doctor if you must in the ER but get them to call your surgeon. If you have a cell you do it. They will have an emergency after hours line.

Stay strong. It's easy to be beaten down when you are this sick honey. Thank you so much for going to the ER! I was worried about you.

[lstacey226 10]

Okay they did call my surgeon he told them to see if I could tolerate Fluid by mouth. I am about done!!!! I just feel likeMy dr tries to push problems away like its no big deal!! I think I'm finding a new dr.

[lstacey226 10]

I am admitted!!! They are waiting for dr to call orders in. Hopefully I will figure out what's wrong and get it fixed. Thanks for the prayers they are working!
