Post op complications



Recommended Posts

They don't feel that I have any problems with circulation. They blame everything on fibro. Except my diarrhoea, they blame that on IBS.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that they are able to get to the bottom of what is causing the complications, and I wish you the best for a speedy recovery and relief from any symptoms and pain that you may have been suffering with.

God bless and stay encouraged! It WILL get better. :)

Thank you! I thought the hardest part would be just missing food! x

Maybe the next time you go in, insist on being admitted. Maybe they can put you in a rehab place for a few weeks. I don't have any other advice, except to let them know how bad it is for you at home..

Gina, I am praying for you right now. Do not give up hope. Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I am being seen in clinic tomorrow on an emergency basis. Will be probably be admitted. This isn't gallbladder but could be C diff or some sort of post antibiotic colitis.

::shudder:: I really hope for your sake it's not c. diff. If it is, is there any chance your other friends' issues are c. diff related? Because if they've got c. diff in the OR suite or the recovery suites, anyone there could have gotten it. That stuff is nasty on so many levels. (speaks the nurse who doesn't work bedside anymore, but still has nightmares about c. diff patients).

My GP phoned the surgical assessment unit because she didn't know what to do. So back on the ward tomorrow at 8 am. I didn't have C diff three weeks ago but I did have IV and oral antibiotics for four weeks. I have no idea what is "normal" IBS-d following vsg but I know that these cramps and spasms in my lower bowel hurt too much to ignore. My stomach itself doesn't hurt. I can drink and eat if I want but once my stomach empties (I can hear it), and fluid/soup etc hits my bowel, they cramp until everything is ejected. No nausea, no vomiting, no fever, doesn't wake me up at night.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
