Going to the emergency room finally



Recommended Posts

I have to give myself Lovenox shots for 2 weeks due to family history of blood clots on both sides of my family. I hate doing it, but I'm following orders.

I have DVT and pulmonary embolisms presently on coumadin. This is so scary and I must admit 6 weeks and I can still barely walk from the pain in my calf. All my mind can think of is the pain, subsequently I can barely eat. I am definitely struggling.

Tanyamann32. I know it's been awhile since you've written this, but can you please tell me what they did about your bleeding ulcer? I have another one now and it's bad too. He only gives me carafate liquid to take 4 times a day. It's not gone yet. I know you know how they hurt. Would you please tell me what they did for you and how are you doing now? Thank you, Sharon

I have to be on lovenox shots for 4 weeks postop. My surgery isn't until 6/21/17. I had bilateral pulmonary embolisms a couple years back and to this day no one knows why I had them. They were awful and hurt a lot. I had to see a hematologist to get me cleared for surgery. My surgeon usually puts everyone on the shots for 2 weeks, but the hematologist said for me to be on them for 4 weeks just to be on the safe side. I'm all for it.

I had emergency surgery and 8 months later I have to see a gastrologist because my stomach is hurting but I am now on coumadin because I have a DVT snd bilateral pulmonary embolism.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
