Bad Twist/Bend. Should I be Concerned?
nikkoal replied to Mkak's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Having the same thing.im 2 weeks today and last night was horrible.I jad a nagging pain all morning anf it gradually got worse.by night it was real painful.I cant sit straight up.last night I couldnt drink nething it made my stomach spasm.had a ct a few hrs ago and all was good.I do howeber need a picc line for nutrition tomorrow.surgeon said liquids may be whats causing my stomacj to get irritates and/or inflammed.so they want me on picc to heal -
So after feeling a little off yesterday it got worse. By evening I was in a lot of pain. I couldnt sit atraight up or take in a deep breath without pain. Called surgeon he said no liquids and to sleep and call in the am. He ordered picc line, some meds & ct scan. I was anle to drink without issues this am so im not seeing the point of a picc line. They scheduled my ct for 230 today. So I hope to have answers on whats going on. Anyone habe any of these issues.

Im going through my day to see if I did nething different to have caused my recent pain. Im still on liquids. I can drink 6-8oz of water/gatorade within an hour. Is that too mcub too quick? Can that have caused my pain? I can also drink 4oz broth, 1 popcicle (1.65oz) &about 1-2 oz of sf jello at one time. Is this normal too? Or am I drinking too much at a time? Just tying to find out wat caused my pain so suddenly

How much magnesium citrate the night before surgery?
nikkoal replied to time4me2013's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had to do 2day liquid diet preop and day before surgery had to drink half (5oz) of mag citrate. Dr. Said if no results by mid afternoon take rest of bottle. Nut i def had results.only lasted half a day.i was able to go shopping hy 5pm that evening.I agree cherry is best.it actually didnt taste bad.kinda salty and fizzy.id ollow what your dr says to do tho -
Thanks ill try that.

Okay so I went to a bday party and let me say it was so emotional seeing everyone eat. Like I dont mean to pass judgement but they looked like pigs with 2 hamburgers and a hotdog with fixings and handfuls of chips. And I saw a kid drink 3 cans of pepsi within half hour.who does that! Anyways at first I was discusted, then angry, then regretful, then sad. I even almost cried. I know its all in my head and I dont really want that crappy food. Im happy losing over 20lbs in 10days. I just had to get out of there. Anyone else experience feelings like that or am I just crazy??!!

H pylori showed up in endo. Surgery may be delayed :(
nikkoal replied to JanetPRN's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I too had h.pylori. it showed up in a gas test that I did. You take a heavy dose of antibiotics for about 10-14days cant remember how long and its usually gone. Each person I know that has dealt with it has had it cleared up after meds. Sept. 24th is a whole month away. You will be okay. Just get on ur surgeon to read the report so he can prescribe the meds asap -
Okay ive never had one before and today out popped one on my upper lip. A friend said they can be caused my malnourishment (which most of us fresh out of surgery are) and/or stress related. Anyone else get one after surgery? Before anyone says some meam things I am std free.

Lipsticklady sorry for the repost. I forgot there was a rants and raves section and I dont know how to erase a precious post.
-
Thanks for the reassurance. I knew it had to due with surgery. Just want it to go away FAST LOL. A healthyme im doing good. Just a few minor things here n there but im great. Thanks for asking

Let me say that I am 10days post op.lost good weight so far.I have had a few minor ache n pains but so far so good. I am guilty of overdoing things these past few days. With my daughter starting 2nd grade and I have a 1 year old to take care of. Anyways today I feel like crap. I woke up early (only got a few hrs of sleep) I have a headache, tummy hurts, diarrhea (the kind where I gota be close to a bathroom-tmi I know sorry) and I just feel off. Not the self I have felt these past few days. Just needed to rant
-
Okay so I just realized today that I have no problem sipping water. Like I can sip right after another. I can drink about 4-5oz no problem. Is that normal? Or am I gonna bust my staples inside
