Pumpkin, I first noticed mine about a week after surgery. I noticed a sore spot and very faint bruise about 6 inches above where my IV was. I kept an eye on it for several days and when it got worse and hurt my hubby took me into the ER. If you suspect it is a clot, be sure to go in and get it checked. I'm not sure what signs to look for as this is the first time I ever had a blood clot. They did an ultra sound in the ER and found I had clots from my wrist to my elbow from the IV. Keep me posted and let me know what you think.
Oh dear, I did not know that. This is a little trickier than we thought, eh? I have worried about a leak, but then I will do dumb things and get mad at myself. Of course it is normal b/c we have issues with food or wouldn't be here. But still, no one wants complications. Well bless your heart, I am so sorry. I hope you are feeling better real soon. Keep me updated. Theresa
I haven't been able to eat near as much as you. I have had some issues for the past couple weeks. The first two weeks I was doing great, and probably over did it a little, and now I am paying the price. I really don't feel so well. My surgeon did a fantastic job, I think I messed up. Went to the emergency room a couple nights ago, and had some blood tests and took in a liter of saline. That helped a little, pluse I have no fever, my protein is on the high side, and white blood count is normal, so I don't suspect a leak. My surgeon said it sounds like my sleeve has become swollen and this happens from time to time, and with time it will get better. So I keep going on faith. There is no way I can eat 2oz of anything.
Loosing weight fast comes with a price. You are loosing just fine and healthy. Keep up the good work!,, BTW,, We are a couple miles south of the Woodlands Pkwy.
