I had your symptoms. I almost died from a PE suffered a couple years ago. I just saw your first post and freaked. Glad you went to ER. Make sure you have a specialist who knows how to treat WLS patients. It's so complicated that the head of Vascular at my heath system treats me vs one of his team. Check your surgeon for a referral if you even suspect they are doing trial and error. I have a great team and it's still tough to maintain a safe blood level due to malabsorption. Good luck.

Hi. Thank you for the advice. My surgeon happened to be at the hospital so he was there the whole process with me and made sure I was being treated properly. He's a very hands on surgeon. He even made sure to give me contacts in my home town that he's worked with and I'm grateful for that.
