Well, after posting that super positive post, I ended up in the E.R. I was having chest pain, so off I went. I was there for TEN HOURS. Blech.
They ran on EKG, had me set up to a heart monitor, and did a CT of my chest, along with a ton of blood work. They were checking for heart issues, blood clotting and pneumonia. They were able to rule ALL of that out!
However, my white blood cell count was elevated, so they contacted the on call doctor at my surgeon's office, and since I was only 5 days post op, they wanted a CT of my belly to make sure there were no issues internally with my incisions or anything like that.
My belly CT came back wonderfully. No issues at all.
I have a little bit of fluid around my heart, but they said that will dissipate over the next few days. I also have gallstones, but they said those are also not anything to worry about currently. My surgeon said he'd only take my gallbladder out at the same time as doing my roux en y, if it looked necessary. Right now, it's not, but in the future, I believe it will come out.
One of my main issues was dehydration. Making sure that doesn't happen again! Got 90 grams of protein in today, and 100 oz. of fluid!
