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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
