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.

      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.
