My Surgery So Far.

I had VSG on Monday Feb 28, 2011. Everything seemed to be going well when I woke up after the surgery but as the hours passed I knew something wasn't right. I was rushed back to the O.R. on March 1, where the doctors drained internal bleeding and huge bloodclots. I have never felt so sick in my entire life. Wednesday was terrible as I had to do leaks tests and could barely keep the dye I had to drink down. Thursday and Friday went great, a little queasy and sore (my back) but other than that I was fine. I went home Saturday morning with two drains in me that will be removed (hopefully) on Tuesday. Everyday I'm doing better and better, and losing some serious weight.

Wow Rachel, I am glad you are ok now....how scary though. Did the Dr. explain why this happened, or do they know? I am hoping to be sleeved this month, but I am a little nervous!

You seem to have bounced back from it quickly and are well on your way to successfully losing! congrats :)

The internal bleed was not from my sleeve line but from when they were cutting/cauterizing the layer of fat/muscle away from the stomach. A rare thing to happen.
