ER is dumb founded--

I WENT TO ER BECAUSE I WAS VERY DIZZY AND SO WEAK AND TOLD THEM MY STORY AND THE DR DID KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT I SAID HE DIDNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO PRONONCE IT HE CALLED IT BARARATRIC ---I SAID I THINK IM DEHYDRATED AND HE RUNS ALL KINDS TEST CHEST XRAY? WHY I DONNO--STOMACH XRAY WHY I DONNO---AND BLOOD IT COME BACK IM SLIGHTLY DEHYDRATED HE SAID BUT NOT SEVERLY NO IV---ON MY PAPER WORK DISCHARGE PAPER FROM ER SAYS FOLLOW UP WITH DOCTOR FOR FLUID re evaluation--why didnt he just give me fluid???? i sat there 3 hours for nothing oh and also had bladder infection--he said -----geeeesh i hate living so far away from indy ----------so needless to say that was a wasted trip cuz nothings changed so now what????????

I would call Dr. Evanson's office. I know it is far for you, but he knows you better when it comes to this procedure.  Just call, maybe you wont have to go there.  Good luck!

Could you have low blood pressure?

As Jenny said, Call Your Surgeon. He is the one you entrusted to your bariatric surgery and anything and everything even remotely to do with that should go to him. I am almost 3 years out and if I had ANY stomach problem including drinking or eating enough, I would immediately call Dr. Gupta! If I couldn't get hold of her, I would go to St. V's ER and have them page her...I HAVE done this before! There are at least 2 hospitals closer to me than St. V's but St. V's was my choice of hospitals for my WLS and it is St. V's that I will go even remotely related to WLS/WLS issues. It will be worth the drive for you to feel better! Sherri

If it doesnt have to do with the surgery it could be the bladder infection...I let one go so long and didnt realize it that I blacked out and was rushed to the ER...erg...I now know first sign LOL Lisa

Call your surgeon,  you can go to a local ER and have Dr. Evanson call them and tell them what to do .   if its just iv fluids you need you shouldnt have to go to Indy.  your body is going through such drastic changes right now it could be many things.  Keep us posted.  Hugs, Carla

hey there thx- 4 the help i did call dr E and he did call and ordered me a 4 hr iv thank god --feeling some better today my blood pressure was very high too

So, did you get to do the IV at your local hospital or did you have to go back to Indy? Hope you are feeling better today.
