Ended up in ER for IV fluids 3 days post op
Hello All,
Just wanted to update everyone and hopefully save someone from the same experience...
I had lapband surgery on 5/12 and discharged 5/13. On the 14th, I was experiencing more pain and discomfort than the previous day so I spent a lot of the day sleeping. By the next ;morining, I bacame nauseous and lightheaded and was so petrified to vomit, I was not drinking fluids. When my husband called to check up on me, he later told me that I wasn't myself, not aswering questions as I should, etc. My sister showed up and called Dr. Pohl's office who said to go to the ER as it sounded like I wasn't getting enough fluids. Long story short, spent 6 hours in the ER and had 2 bags of fluid pumped into me prior to Dr. Pohl giving me the OK to go home with some anit-nausea meds. Needless to say, I am spending today with a water bottle attached to me at all times!!
Hopefully this is a small bump in the road on this journey to better health. To those that say surgery is the "easy way out," they have no idea....
