NorthCountryGirl 9 Posted January 24, 2019 Had sleevectomy Jan. 9 and was admitted back into hospital on Jan. 21 for a blood clot in one of the veins in my stomach. So glad I ignored the nurse at my surgeon’s office who said my severe pain was probably just lactose intolerance or gas pain! I got my butt to the ER because I couldn’t stand the pain anymore! Trust your instincts people! Also remember the risk of complications is REAL and keep up with your Water intake. I’m finally getting out of hospital today after 4 days and certainly hope I never have to go through this again! 1 1 FluffyChix and gabybab reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boldilocks 312 Posted January 25, 2019 Thank goodness you listened to your body! We have to self-advocate these days, doctors aren't the "gods" they used to be, and things can easily be missed. 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
