Sorry I am not sure I understand your post...Your doc knicked a blood vessel and said it COULD cause swelling making it hard for you to swallow on day 4 or 5? Did I get that right?

And you have pain like trapped gas? I can tell you odds are you do have gas...

what did your doctor tell you to do?

AND...I'm shocked they let you go home without someone around to help you out!

Lots of people are great after surgery, lots more aren't!

My husband did go to work but it was in the city...I knew I could call him or a few friends

if needed. I'd have felt worried if I had been alone in a city and not known anyone!

I had trapped gas in me for about two weeks. It was very painful and made me regret my decision temporarily. Remember to take small sips constintly throughout the day.

My spleen was slightly torn from scar tissue stuck to it from a previous surgery. So my spleen was bleeding. I stayed in the hospital for 2.5 days and went home by myself.

I felt fine, except for the gas pain. I walked a lot to get it out.

Thanks for the replies

All the Doctor said to me was " because of the hematoma caused by the blood vessel been caught it could cause swelling at the entrance of the stomach on the 4/5 day just stick to clear liquids Water, juice, broth"

      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.
