My surgery went great had it on tuesday 23rd and came home 25th no problem! till the very next day when i had horrible lower abd pain. suffered with the pain till early sunday am went to er and they sent me home saying it was gas eveb though the xrays didnt show any gas!!!!!!! several hours i am back at er only to be asked y did i come back!  finally they did ct scan and found BLOOD CLOT !!!! so i got admitted for 5 more days and they didnt put me on the bariatric unit.  I loved the Bariatric unit it was awesome. I was admitted to the general surgery floor. when i asked to go to the bariatric floor they told me it was for bariatric patients, wtf what am i ????? I cant tell you haow many hospital staff told me I wasnt big enough to be a bariatric patient.  Thats funny for the last 6 months i have been and doctors and insurance co agree now that i have had my surgery someone working at the hospital is going to give me their opinions  and when they didnt have me npo in the regular unit they complained i had poor intake!!!! hello less than 1 week post op and i dont want grilled cheese  imagine that!  i quickly got a roommate that was a slob. it was her tom and everytime she used the bathroom she left blood on seat!!!!! grosssssssss I had to fight to get a private room but i got out of that!!!!! and the residents just dont understand their responsibilities. I needed a doctors order to be allowed to take a shower! i even asked resident for one and she laughed and the nurse told her that was the only way i could take shower! 5 days in hospital with only sink baths and NO ONE understanding what type of diet I needed after my wls!   The Cleveland Clinic is not a place i would be willing to go again~!!!!!!!!!     

I FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE SEVERE PAIN WAS.  I THREW A CLOT  5 MORE DAYS IN HOSPITAL SEVERAL OF THEM WERE SPENT NPO NOT EVEN WATER!  I HAVE ONLY LOST A LITTLE 33 POUNDS SINCE MAY HUBBY HAS LOST 60 HES THREE WEEKS POST OP  HE REALLY LOOKS GOOD     BUT I HAVENT EVEN CHANGED SIZES  WTF?
I THOUGHT I WAS READY BUT I AM NOT HAVING MUCH LUCK


HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING BETTER!!!!!
