How do you know when to call your Dr?

[Thecloude1 342]

I had an episode yesterday morning where I all of the sudden broke into a cold sweat and started to feel like I was going to throw up. Now my pouch is not feeling well still this morning. It is tender if I press on my stomache ....I don't think it was dumping because I had the same thing for Breakfast that I've been having every morning for the past week...a Protein Shake. Could I just have a bug? It's not a sharp pain...just kind of a dull ache...full feeling. Tomorrow will be week 3 post op. Just curious if anyone has experienced this and wondering if I should call my Drs office....Thanks for any advice given [emoji4]

I vote for calling your doctor anytime you don't understand what is happening, have sharp pain, have a fever and/or just have a question. There is a reason they give us a 24-hour phone number to call post-op.

BariatricPal is great, but we cannot replace your medical team when it comes to your care.

Your doctor gets paid quite well to take your calls! I would definitely call!
