    Unhappy Appendix taken out 2 months post op

    Well, I was doing well until last Tuesday. I started having pain in the middle of my abdominal area. It came on fairly quickly and did not stop. It settled on the right side and was very persistent. I decided I should have it checked and ended up at the ER. I had my appendix removed on Wednesday. I am sharing because the Dr. I used had said she would be my abdominal surgeon for the rest of my life. She is wonderful and came to the emergency room the first night I was there. She started IV antibiotics right away and after the CT she had me admitted. I am not sure what others doctors tell their patients so I thought this would be good info to share for those who have surgeon here in the US. I came home Thursday this is day three and probably the most painful day. Glad I have pain meds. The worst part of this is even tho I did not eat for a day and a half I gained due to the fluids. I am hoping this goes away really fast. Kind of bummed about it almost 9ibs! 2 to 3 week recovery sucks cause I was just getting back to a normal routine. Thanks for letting me vent here. Needed to share.

    I'm glad you are doing well, hopefully just a bump in the road and you'll be back on track in no time.

    Oh no... Glad it's out and you're on your way to recovering... My doctor said the same.. That he would probably be taking my gall badder out next. He's an awesome doctor also.... Hope all goes well and your back to yourself soon... Don't worry about the gain... That will come off quick... TC

    I can relate.

    Four weeks after I was sleeved I had my gall bladder removed -- like you, by my WLS surgeon.

    It only set me back a week. I bet you'll recover faster than you are imagining.

    Very best to you.
