Should I still be worried?

On Sunday I went to the ER and was admitted to the hospital and released last night 5-7-08.  Went in the hospital with horrible abdominal pain, not able to keep anything down and spiked a fever.  Admitted to hospital.  Stool came back positive for blood and hemoglobin sitting at 10.0; CT scan showed free fluid in my abdomen, about 1/2 dozen kidney stones, and my pouchie is inflamed.  Sent home on carafate, protonix, nasau meds and pain meds.  Endoscopy was attmepted but they claim I kept gagging so they couldn't perform it?!?!  I still don't feel right.  Kicker of the whole thing I was out of town when all this happened and at an out of town hospital and my surgeon was never contacted?!?!  I had my gastric bypass on 9-15-06 Any thoughts and/or advice would be appreciated!

wow thats a lot going on to just send you home with meds.  I would absolutely contact your surgeon, espesh if you still feel like something is wrong.  I just finished my 4th repair surgery from massive complications and if i wouldnt have pushed several times when i just knew in my heart that something wasnt quite right then i wouldnt be here right now. Best of luck ~Heather

call your bariatric surgeon and ask his oinion You may need a CAT scan of abdomen by someone who knows what to look for and check for bowel obstruction.  My first friend who died of an obstruction had been sent home from hospital several weeks earlier witha diagnosis of "food poisoning"
