When is it necessary to go to ER

If you had surgery very recently, you were probably given a hospital discharge paper that described when to contact your surgeon's office. Review the list and see if any of your symptoms fit that description. If you conditions are very severe then take action and go to the ER.

This question is too generalized. It is difficult to provide any advise, if one does not know what is wrong, where the problem lies.

Good rules If you can't stand the pain and thing,it is worth the trip. If you have tried easy home remedies and they aren't working. If you are bleeding and it's bright red blood, if it isn't your time of month or you are bleeding from a body opening that usually blood does come out of, if you can't reach your doctor and you thinkit can't wait another day, if you're not urinating, if you are vomitting and you think you are going to pass out, if you can't drink and your skin "tents", that means if you take a pinch of your skin and it doesn't flatten out. Those are some actions that deserve attention, better to to go and find out it's nothing or easily managed than to imperil your life staying home. Most things get better by the morning, but some of these won't. Hugs!😛

Since you are a month post op it is not clear if you are asking about a surgery related problem or something unrelated. Maybe a little more information, feel free to PM me if you don't want to put it out in public.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
