hospital.. figuring out what’s wrong

ok back home … i was running an errand with my husband before going to pick up the prescription for my surgical wound infection an hour or so after it was called in… during that the infection in my main wound site, well to put it mildly, drained rapidly while i was in the store… and some combination of the wound infection finally coming out, fever and some dehydration caused an altered mental state for a few hours leading me to be taken to the emergency room….

had a night filled with many ivs and iv attempts (blown veins, infiltrating ivs, very low flow etc) , bunch blood tests, multiple bags of fluids, multiple doses of iv antibiotics, a ct with contrast…. saw the surgeon and told to head home and see him monday as planned…

fun times

on a positive note i currently don’t feel intense pain getting up or sitting down… just discomfort and light pain..

oh the things we go through

Wow. I am so sorry you are going through that. That is uncommon less than 3%. My whole family are in the medical field. I looked it up because of that. Hopkins website stated that it can happen when you are touched by a contaminated caregiver or surgical instrument. Again, I am so sorry you had to go through that. default_sad.png&key=eede538cefacefd5b09bc3209f264a659ab0a07f9d0c9c28b43ddf136bc5059a

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
