SEVERE CHEST PAIN
I had the sleeve on May 2nd 2011, I immediatly have severe chest pain when eat or drinking anything, it started with my clear liquids after the surgery, weeks went by and it didnt stop. I was told that I had strictures and they put stinits in me that wouldnt stay put so the gave me a revision surgery on Aug. 2nd 2011, that was supposed to fix me. I am having the pain only now it is worse, it is EVERYTIME I eat. The Dr's have no idea what it is and have no suggestions. In the mean time I am afraid to eat because of the pain, I may be getting in 100 calories a day, my body feels like its about to shut down. HELP
It hasn't changed?!?!?! Your surgeon hasn't sent you to another, BETTER surgeon?!?!?!?
*screams of frustration*
Okay.
1. GO TO THE ER RIGHT NOW AND DON'T LEAVE UNTIL YOU ARE ADEQUATELY HYDRATED, EVALUATED FOR NUTRITION AND HAVE PAIN MANAGEMENT.
2. You are likely to need IV nutrition. This is called TPN and you can do it at home. PUSH for this. PUSH HARD. Your life is on the line.
3. You need a far better surgeon than the one who's now clueless and has no suggestions. Please get one and get there quickly.
