Rushed into observation, Awaiting blood and urine analysis. Next step is imaging and then a possible surgery consult...no real news yet but enough concern that I didn't wait at all to be seen...will keep y'all updated <3

I am finally home and feeling a bit better, after every imaginable test it was concluded that I had simply pulled a muscle/upset an incision site!! NO INFECTION! NO FURTHER INJURY!!

The doctor said it wouldn't have seemed so bad if I had continued to take my dilaudid (morphine) but due to some personal issues I stopped taking that stuff days ago.

All in all, I am JUST fine!!

<3

EXACTLY what my hubby just said! I didn't even realize I had overdone anything, in fact I was worried I was being lazy!! Doctor told me my ONLY job for the next week is to eat sleep and heal lol sure learned my lesson!!

That must have been scary' date=' I'm so glad to hear that your doing alright! xoxo[/quote']

When they said I had to do the barium drink/X-ray to look for perforations I totally started crying, I was SO worried they would have to put me under and open me up, I was SO glad they were able to rule out anything too serious pretty quick!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
