Clots are no fun. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

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.

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.

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?

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!

[Pepper Paul 143]

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.

[JROD 22]

Hope all is well.

[Leleboo 104]

I'm glad that everything checked out! Have a great Spring Break!

[JProx 161]

Get better hope you and girls have great spring brake

Enjoy your trip I'm glad it wasn't noting serious sir..

[Pepper Paul 143]

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!

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!!
