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!

      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.
