johnedwin 80 Posted June 14, 2019 after surgery i was a in a lot of pain which is to be expected..then i at home.. i had issues taking deep breaths so i called a ambulance and was taken to the emergency room... at 2"00 am in the morning....i was given something for the extreme pain i was in .. then i had a lot of blood tests had a ct scan.. the docs said maybe i had aspiration after surgery.. which could develop into pneumonia.. they gave me some antibiotics told me they would admit me... but i was still in the emergency room till 11"00pm the next time.. until they got me a room.. very quiet place only `1 other patient there.. bed was much more comfortable... i got some good sleep..a few docs talked to me and said they were concerned about some of my blood tests not for possible pneumonia but for my liver..some possible abnormality they detected.. so they had to do more tests had a ultrasound...i also was given my pain meds which led to a less painful experience for me lol.not what i expected after bariatric surgery...

RickM 1,752 Posted June 15, 2019 Is your bariatric surgeon in the loop on this? It would not be unusual for liver numbers to be wonky between your obese condition pre-op, any pre-op diets for "shrinking the liver" and subsequent weight loss which stresses the liver owing to its job in metabolizing the fat that is being lost; in short, there's lots going on that can cause unusual liver numbers, so I would want someone familiar with bariatric patients weighing in (so to speak) on this so that they don't go overboard on treating something that may well be "normal" for your circumstances. Good luck, and glad they got the pain issues under control, 1 FluffySaysForkIt! reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
