If you choose to go the Emergency route I cannot stress enough the need for you to visit an Emergency Room that has experience with Bariatric Patients and surgeries.

Hope you can get to the bottom of this and get things sorted out quickly.

Hi Dana; if you live near Toronto. They have an excellent bariatric program through the UHN. Your local GP. should be able to refer you. In that group of hospitals I went to Toronto Westen Hospital and can not speak more highly of the program, staff and treatment I received there. Good luck on you continued journey. I personally think bariatric surgery was well worth it!?
