Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I had hernia,sm bwl repair and adhesions surgery 3 weeks ago. I'm 15 1/2 weeks . I have been trying be more active since the company who does our disablity has ok'd my pay through end of the week. I still have some pain and am extremely tired. I have been having the tingling/numbness in my arms and have had difficulty sleeping. To make a long story short I was getting my wedding dress hemmed up and I started to pass out and went down. I thought maybe my b12 had gotten low again even though I had just taken my shot almost 2 weeks ago. I called my surgeon first and was going to call my OBgyn. I had pain where my hernia site was so that's why I called then as I've never had that happen before( passing out). They wanted me up at the Er in by where my surgeon is. They did an ekg,urine test,cbc, u/s . They said everythign was normal and said it was proabably from just having surgery and being pregnant. They gave me copies of my ekg and blood work. It had rbc flagged L value 3.74 units mega/mm3 ref. range 4.20-5.40 F. I guess that's low? Any advice??? I go see my surgeon since my Ob told me follow up w/them which was surprising to me since I was thinking it more baby related. Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 , That is a slightly low value, but not critical. Might be related to recovery from surgery. How was your Hgb or Hb (thats hemoglobin), and the other blood tests? Hope you get to the bottom of things soon. > > > I had hernia,sm bwl repair and adhesions surgery 3 weeks ago.
