Guest guest Posted May 30, 2004 Report Share Posted May 30, 2004 Dearest ...thank you...this info was most helpful. Things the first few days in ICU were really fuzzy, and some still are. But I know they watch bariatric patients very carefully for this, and have strict protocol if signs are present. I can't tell you what labs tests were initially off, but I do remember the horrible pain in the muscles around my right hip and right lower back. I know I had 4 fluid IV's besides several other smaller medication IV's going at all times. I know I went up 30 pounds in 3 days from the fluids. About the 4th day the doctor's faces were more relaxed and someone told me my labs were coming back to normal. The hip/back pain hung around for about 10 days. I am so grateful it turned out I did not have this. My friend Kate was in ICU 3 weeks until they got this turned around. She was blessed not to have any severe kidney complications. Love & hugs...
