Something's gone wrong...

I'm not sure what has happened, but I'm bleeding internally, a LOT, starting today. I went to the doctor today who ran some tests but couldn't quite see what has happened. She said I was okay to go home tonight but if I have to go to the bathroom more than once every 1/2 hour to come to the E.R. I'M SO WORRIED! I don't feel pain in my stomach at all, but I think something has happened! I exercised last night. Could that have done anything? I was just on the elliptical machine for 1/2 hour and on the bike for 15 minutes.

I'm sorry to hear that things aren't well.. Are you bleeding during bowel movements or is it just coming out? Did your doctor do lab tests to check your different blood levels? Did your doctor give the bleeding a name? Like Upper GI/Lower GI bleeding???

[puddin 7]

It's coming out in my urine, causing terrible spasms in my bladder. It could also be coming out during bowel movements, I'm not sure. My doctor did lab tests and my blood levels are apparently OK, I guess. She didn't say much about it. She didn't mention Upper GI or Lower GI, so I'm not sure about that either. I had an X-Ray done and then a CT scan on my kidney and both showed no stone. I have to go to my band doc tomorrow so he can do tests to see if it relates to the band. Not sure what he's going to do. I'm almost certain it has to do with the band, though.

So sorry to hear about your trouble. I would be very concerned too! I have heard that most Dr.'s check the gall bladder while they are doing the surgery. Perhaps they didn't see a stone in there.

You are in my prayers and keep posting to let us know how you are doing and what the doctors say.

My thoughts are with you!

While I don't have any advice to offer, just wanted to say I hope everything goes okay. Let us know what your band doc says, please...

Wow, that doesn't sound good. You were only banded a week ago? Maybe it's surgery related, as opposed to band-related. Exercise shouldn't be a problem, but perhaps you tried to do a little too much, too soon. Take it easy, you're still healing!!

Please let us know what your docs say. Good luck!!

Hang in there, don't let the doc brush you off!

I'm praying for you.

All i can do is send you my best. I can't offer any advice, other that to remind you that probably everyone on the board has you on their prayer list...
