Anybody ever have a bowel infection post surgery?

I just got released from the hospital today...I thought I was having a gall bladder attack Tuesday and Wednesday but it ended up being a lot of inflamation in my small bowel...they still dont know what caused it but have been treating it with a lot of antibiotics.  Glad to be home

Angela i am so glad you found out what the problem was! I was worried because gall bladder is so common with quick weight loss and sooo painful. Hope all is well again soon. I would like to be on your friends list if you could ask me, it won't let me ask you or go to your profile or anything. Anyway your weight loss ticker is moving so quickly and you must be feeling great already(current situation not included:) Also I see there is lots of support for the lady needing shakes but no one know where to send anything to? We all want to help..talk soon Trish

Hi Angela! Glad you are back home! I hope all will go well now for you. Your in our thoughts and prayers.
Take care cause we care

The most important thing - are you feeling better? Take care Angela!

Hey girly I am sorry I didnt know you were not feeling well and having any issues - I am glad to hear you might be diagnosed and on the mend.

Chk with Dr Christous office and be sure to request your Surgical Report - so that you have that on file- its the actual report of what was done in the surgery step by step - its not always sent to our family drs afterwards.

I was told by a Surgeon that its a great thing for us to have post op so that in the future any specialist that may have to operate ( for me it was gallbladder) knows going in ahead of time what to expect. I remember in recovery my gallbladder surgeon telling me I was a textbook RNY and he knew about adhesions from my C- Section from the report.

I am on fb more than OH so keep in touch with me -I see from your ticker that you are doing awesome -So now hopefully you will soon be feeling it too!
