Do I really need to go to the ER...?



Recommended Posts

@Jcbailey...I also work at a hospital and as I was reading her symptoms, sepsis is the first diagnosis that came to my mind also. You just don't mess around with a postop infection...

Gosh this is tough!! Knowing me I would tough it out until tomorrow. Unless your fever gets worse. I think you will probably be hospitalized either way. If you foot Er I am sure they will keep you. You can get help with your medical bills. Do u live in the United States? If u want to talk I will send u my phone number xxxxxxxxxx. U can call me anytime tonight as I will be up all night working. Even if u just want to talk. Worried about u and hope I can help ya.

Hey OTR here you go ;)

You need to be seen. Your PCP will likely refer you to the ED. If you had one of your symptoms or maybe 2, it could probably be handled on an outpatient basis, but with all of your symptoms you should be evaluated for peritonitis. It can get worse very quickly and it is not risking your health, especially since you have young kids who depend on you. Good luck.

      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
