Pepper Paul 143 Posted March 30, 2013 CT scan and blood draw were negative for blood clot. I asked him about a barium swallow and he looked confused and said he would call over to radiology and ask about it. This hospital has no bariatric program so I fear if it is a leak in in the wrong place to get it diagnosed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted March 30, 2013 I've never been to a hospital that wasn't equip to o barium swallows.. And I've been to several that weren't part of a bariatric program. Hopefully yours is equip. Good luck and glad the clot was ruled out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pepper Paul 143 Posted March 30, 2013 They have a doctor from a (somewhat) nearby hospital on his way here to do the barium swallow. The ER doc here feels pretty confident it isn't a leak because he said he could see part of my abdomen in the CT scan he did and didn't see any pockets of fluids, and the fact that I don't have severe pain in my abdomen. I figure better safe than sorry. I'm wondering if maybe it was some sort of dumping syndrome? I've had those shakes lots of times before but maybe I drank it too fast? Anyone have any ideas?

LG1981 111 Posted March 30, 2013 Hi Pepperpaul, The same thing happend to me a few weeks after sugery, when I thought I was getting better. Anyways, it hurt so much that I thought is was my appendix. I went to the doctor, he checked me out and it turned out and said it was nothing. So, I just toughed it out. Im sure you will be fine too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pepper Paul 143 Posted March 30, 2013 Well they just did a barium swallow and didn't find a leak. They are discharging me. I'm hoping its just an isolated incident! I was sure glad to hear they didn't find a leak or a blood clot though! Trip to Arizona is still on for now. That's great news because I wasn't looking forward to telling my 8 and 10 year old girls that daddy ruined spring break. 3 Wrinkle, 2boysmom and newat52 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pepper Paul 143 Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks everyone for the support. It was pretty unnerving but I'm glad it turned out to not be something serious. My big incision hurts a lot today, more than it has since surgery. I'm thinking I've been overdoing the walking this last week, as I've been walking 2-4 miles per day. I'll take the next couple days off since we hit the Grand Canyon on Tuesday and I'm sure ill be doing a lot of waking there. As a side note, I'm down 35 pounds since starting the pre-op diet on February 25th! 3 Bvl, Ms.AntiBand and Wrinkle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fyre_storm 1,412 Posted March 31, 2013 Hey if your driving to the canyon be sure to stop at least ever one to two hours get out and walk for a few minutes then go again. Be safe!! 4 Wrinkle, Ms.AntiBand, Fiddleman and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
