nervous...at urgent care



Recommended Posts

Since this 4am this morning I've been having pain similar to menstrual cramps. I had a hysterectomy several years ago so it can't be a menstruation. I just had a urine test to check for bladder infection and it came back negative. Now the doctor wants to draw blood. My belly in the center is very tender. Mind you, I'm 4 months post tomorrow. Should I be nervous? Because I'm terrified!

I'm so sorry that you're hurting! Of course you're nervous, but try not to torture yourself because you don't know what it is at this point. From everything I've heard 4 months should be well past the time that a leak can happen, but maybe someone more experienced can comment on the subject?

Try to stay positive, know that we're sending good vibes your way, and keep us posted on what the dr says!

Are you having regular and non-strained BMs? I only ask because sometimes things get really messed up in the digestive track and the pain can mimic menstrual cramps.

Thank you all for your kindness and support. Turns out I have an old ovarian cyst that is In overdrive. Have to see the ob-gyn for an ultrasound to see if he wants to remove the cyst or the ovary or both. I was worried because the pain was smack in the middle of my abdomen....turned out to be something else. I'm not happy about that, but happy it's not my new sleeve.

      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.
