complications 16 days post op infection



Recommended Posts

well here goes, i was 16 days post op and doing i guess ok, and then wham, wednesday night it hit me so bad, i had soooo much abdomal pain like twisting, cutting etc, i first thought it was something i ate, or i got the flu, but the pain never went away, then i thought my band slipped, or port twisted, finally enough was enough and i went to emergency room, they diidnt know what it was, i was put in a room with fluids and pain meds for a day and a half and when i told doctor about foul odor and direaha, he said sounds like i had a infection from the antibotics they gave me on surgery day and it was right in the right time frame, so they gave mw more antibotics, i am home now but the pain still comes and goes, i feel bloated all the time and when i move a certain way it hurts, expecially when i try to cough or sneeze, i have to hold my stomach alot to do this, has anyone else had this happen to them, i still feel like i am rejecting my band or something else is wrong, and to top it off, i didnt eat anything in the hospital and i gained 5 lbs, go figure,

I'm so sorry you're having to go thru this!

Have you talked to your SURGEON? He/she needs to be informed that this is going on. I'd also say you need to get looked at again.

Don't let this go too long, it could kill you!

Take care and best wishes!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
