I have never heard of triage being taking blood and EKG ect. I have heard of taking a temp Bp and small history then telling you to go wait to be called Sounds like a strange triage. Don't let anyone make you feel you did the wrong thing. Never ever take a chance especially when you have had such a major surgery. That's what an er is there for. What if you just said you didn't want to over react and something was or is going on that needs immediate attention. Pick your head up you did the right thing.

You're in my thoughts and prayers. And don't let that doctor make you feel bad about going to the ER. That's what it's there for! Since your husband is coming to support you ask him to notify your surgeon perhaps?

I hope they give you a thorough exam. Be as clear as you can about what happened and the pain level you were experiencing. Let us know how it goes.

Please don't hate me. I sat in the room and the doctor came in and said the blood tests and the X-ray and the EKG came out fine. The pain maybe from the rapid weight loss and the body is morphing. I am setting up an appointment with my pcp and my surgeon to maybe do more tests the pain was bad so now I'm going to take some medicine and also find a psychiatrist could this pain be psychosomatic? I really don't think so and I don't think a leak can happen three months out? And the blood test said it wasn't a blood clot in the calf. And my gallbladder didnt seem infected. THIS SUCKS!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        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.

      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!
