I had a trip to the ER yesterday afternoon......

due to attacks of pain every five mintues that lasted about 10 seconds. I didnt know what this pain was, and after 4 hours of this getting worse as the day went on i had to phone my surgeon. I wrapped up my work earlier, having parents pickup from my DAYCARE ASAP, and left my 3 small kids with their aunt and uncle. At this point thinking this is either GALL bladder or kidney stones causeing me such. I arrived at MATHER hospitol at 4:00 and when i got admitted in thru TRIAGE to a holding area there was my SURGEON Dr. AHMAD their to order the tests and reassure me all will be fine and we will figure out my cause of such pain attacks. I was once again SO pleased with dr. AHMADS personal attention i received at the hospitol ER room and new i was under once again the best possible care possible. He ordered me FULL blood workup, urine analyse, CAT scan and GALL Bladder ultra sound.....sure the wait was long, it was a holiday and the specialists had to be called in. BUT everything was okay but they note I had an ovarian cyst and will follow up today with my surgeon. THE attacks did stop around 7 pm at the hospitol and i was glad. So for now im PAIN free. This was unrelated to the weight loss surgery. BUT i was so impressed with my surgeons prompt attention to the pain attacks i had. WHEN i phoned his office SIMA requested me to meet Dr. Ahmad at the ER and did soo as soon as i had things in order on my end. ONCE again words cannot say how great my surgeon was in time of need and worry. LISA

Lisa, I'm so glad you are okay now. Ovarian cysts can be very painful. So happy you had such good care from your surgeon as well. I hope all stays well, but a trip to the gyn wouldn't be a bad idea. God bless, Deb

thanks everyone. I booked the appointment for my OB/GYN will be seen on the 25th of the month. I do have polycystic ovaries so for me to hear cyst didnt phase me. BUT that pain was god aweful all day long. YES, i think Dr. AHMAD cared for me over and above his responsiblity last night in the ER but we didnt know what my pain was being caused by i was thankful. I agree not every surgeon goes over and above but mine did and i cant thank him enough for being there last night to meet me in the ER. So ill follow up this topic after the obgyn sees me thanks everyone for the support and kinds words

Lisa, I am so glad that you are ok. Its nice to know that your doc will be there when you need it. I hope you can take it easy today. Are you back to the kids today? or did you take a day to rest, I hope? Lynn
