Just wanted to say how sorry I am that you are going through this. I hope your new surgery corrects the problems you are having.

Well hello everyone,
As you read in my earlier post "worst decision I ever made" I have had a really rough time since I had my sleeve surgery on May 3,2012. I am happy to report that I was once again put in the hospital on Tuesday for dehydration. My doctor decided to go back in and do a scope on me to see if he could figure out what all my problems were coming from. When he went inside my tummy with a camera there was a piece of scar tissue that appeared to be causing a little obstruction. He also stretched my esphogas. He also went back into two of my incesions to check the outside of my tummy. The staple line and all else was perfect. He removed the piece of scar tissue and I have actually been able to eat a small amount of food today and was able to drink some fluids and hold them down.
I feel better today than I have in the last month. I actually have been up all day moving around and doing stuff around my house. Before I was so weak and sick I slept most of the day.
I just want to thank everyone who gave me so much support and sent me lots of prayers through this difficult time in my life. I feel like I am finally on the road to recovery : ) Still have a little ways to go but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...
Everyone have a super blessed day : )

Congratulations.... : )

Sending prayers your way. Hang in there. I am six weeks post-op and the first 4 weeks were horrible for me. I was put in the hospital 2 times one in which I stayed for 8 days. I actually had to go back into surgery because I could not hold down even a sip of Water without puking my guts up. I actually had a piece of scar tissue inside my stomach that was causing a small blockage. They removed it and I have improved everyday since then. Everyone kept telling me to hang in there it would get better and it does. I am actually able to eat some food now and hold down fluids.
Go and get your fluids it will make you feel so much better. It will get better. I promise you it will get better.
Please keep us posted on your progress.

Hello,
I had a lapband done in 2008. It ended up with a leak and I chose to have the sleeve done : ( beings I did not lose that much weight with the lapband.
I had my my lapband removed a small hernia repair and the sleeve done on May 3, 2012. I had an upper GI done the morning after surgery and all looked well. They started me on fluids and the nightmare begins. I ended up staying in the hospital for 4 days because I could not hold down fluids. I came home and could not hold down anything. Went back to the doctor on May 14,2012 and was sent for another upper GI and sent down for several bags of fluids. The GI came back that I had severe swelling. I went back to the doctor on May17,2012 and was put in the hospital and stayed there until May 24,2012. I had a picc line put in my arm.
I have been home for several days now and it is no better. I still have problems holding down fluids. I have even tried an eye dropper to make sure I am not taking in to much at one time. I was down to 1/2 TEASPOON every 30 minutes and still threw up. I am not able to eat.
I do nothing but cry. My son will be graduating on June 15 and I am hoping I am still alive to see my baby graduate. I am serious I am so afraid that I am going to die from this sleeve. I wake up every morning with a positive attitude and I am like ok today will be a good day and it just gets worst as the day goes on.
I would much rather be 100 pounds over weight than to live the rest of my life like this.
If anyone has any suggestions on how I can at least keep down fluids I would appreciate it. I tried ice chips and just letting them trickle down my throat and I still throw up.
I have another doctors appointment on Tuesday.
Please keep me in your prayers. I am so scared.
