blood clot

[pamelawilliams16 4]

Hi, I was /had a revision on 6/25 to sleeved. Everything was going ok till Sunday (4days ago). I woke Sunday with back shoulder pain and it hurst to take deep breath. By Monday the breathing was almost unbearable and the pain moved to my rib under my cheast and right back. So went to my Dr. Office which said I'm 4 weeks post-op and should out of the woods for leaks or clots. U may have gas but if the problem is still there by Tuesday (day3) go to emergency room at the hospital where I had my gastric sleeve on 6/25. Well by 3rd day my pain was the roof. After all the test. I have a blood clot and small case of pneumonia in my lungs. ...wow...help

Well the first thing i'll tell you is to follow, to the letter, whatever ur docs orders are. It shud not affect ur dietary consumption but stay mindful nd don't derail by not eating nd drinking as u shud. Did they give u a thinner or somthn to dissolve the clot? As far as the lungs go, make the effort to deep breath nd if u need to cough, then stent it w a pillow nd cough, walk and lay upright as needed to keep the lungs expanded. Did they give u an incentive spirometer, it helps u purposely breathe deeper to clear ur lungs. Have u had a cold? What caused the pneumo? Sry I'm all over the place but as o said, follow docs instructions. If ur panicked, stop bc it'll only make u sicker...if the docs are worried much they'd hospitalized you. Are u hospitalized? Either way, just try nd relax, glad u went to er, nd I'll pray that it all passes soon so that u can get on w ur healthy lifestyle. Ur going to be ok:).

Thx so much. Yes I'm on heparin and antibiotics. Late las night I was finely moved to my room. Not sure how long it will take but whatever it takes and your right getting upset make it sooo much worse don't cry because that requires you to breath deeply
