Fats almost killed me Shortened version at the bottom. I recently posted a hospital rant when I had my last surgery. It has been a little over two weeks and I started noticing my abdomen was getting bigger. I called the nurse helpline and she said it is normal to put on weight after surgery etc. I explained that I didn't think I was putting on weight but that it was concerning. She basically said "well you can go to the ER but weight gain is nornal".  Before I go much further let me say I'm 5'4" and at my biggest I was 9 months pregnant and I weighed 149lbs. After having my son and two months of breastfeeding I was back at 122lbs. This last surgery was number 7 for me. After every surgery I've had i have lost weight. Pain killers make me really sick and eating after abdominal surgery just sucks ass imo. I explained all this to her and still she didnt seem concerned. I figured I'll just wait and see my doctor for my post op. He's a human and knows my history.  A few days go by and I start having symptoms  I can't just ignore so I head to urgent care. Of course I get a fatass doctor. She said "those symptoms are pretty normal after surgery. You probably have scar tissue causing the pain. Weight gain is perfectly normal.". She sees me for all of 1 minute and says I'm free to go.  At home my husband notices my stomach and makes the comment that I look pregnant again. We cant have anymore children so that isnt possible and he said it like he was concerned not being an ass.  A few hours go by and the pain becomes unbearable so i ask my husband to drive me to the ER. I get a human nurse and she immediately sees something is up when she takes my blood pressure. It was 206/100. They do an ultrasound and find a 20cm cyst that grew in record time considering I just had surgery a few weeks ago. It was pushing on my bladder and intestines almost closing my small intestine in one place.  Not only did two fats ignore my symptoms, but because of lazy post op motherfuckers weight gain is seen as normal.  Shortened version:  My stomach swelled post op and fat nurses and doctors kept thinking it was "normal" weight gain. It was a giant cyst that grew at an amazing rate pressing against my intestines.
