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
