I had sleeve surgery June 26. I've been to the er or been admitted to the hospital. First visit - Get sleeved Week after pain. My pancreas, gallbladder, ans liver. The next week shortness of breath. I had to get a blood transfusion. All the other visits can't keep anything down. Er your levels are high. All we can do is give you meds. My surgery doctor give me gallbladder meds. He got all the reports from er visit. All er visits said my gallbladder needs to come out. I don't regret getting the surgery. Things happen. My doctor wanted to avoid another surgery first. He thought the meds would help. After so long now....im just saying. Lets try something else.He's a cool doctor. We sat down and talked. He said he wants to get me better. We are moving forward. I had to share. Because its so important to trust God and yourself. I could have passed out with my low blood. I was told I was dehydrated ... When the er ran test my blood levels like below 7 really low. I needed blood right away. If I walked I was out of breath. My heart was pumping hard. It took me 45 mins to get ready. You can always pay those extra hospital bills 5 dollars a month. Trust me they will work with you. Sorry for errors on iv pain meds. Don't give up. Listen to your body. Fight for yourself. My husband fought for me too. Thanks for all the kind words. I have a upper gi test done in the morning.

Pcos (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) And The Sleeve
1920-Zeta replied to Kimmyk's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Plus, I stop perming my hair. Back in June. I love the natural look. It is so easy. I have a min afro now. Im looking forward to wearing my hair up in a ponytail . Have you tried using Protein? I was watching a Utube video. This lady was saying her hair was coming out really bad after surgery. She said she used a raw egg in her hair. She used the egg as a conditioner. She showed before and after pictures. Her hair started to grow back after using the egg. She Massage the egg through her hair. She also said she was not getting enough protein either. She said that's what made her hair come out. I know how hard it is to get enough protein. I just started eating again. I was sick for a couple of weeks. food and drink would not stay down. Im proud of myself I was able to get down 25 grams of protein today without getting sick. -

I had surgery june 26. My hair has not come out thank God. I wear a natural now. I use a Protein shampoo and conditioner. I use BB products. I use leave in too. I was worried about that too. Our bodies are different. I had to take a break from this forum. I was driving myself crazy listening to everybody. Im back to eating my applesauce and unflavored protein. Don't worry. You will be ok. -

Honey Bee I was sick just like you. I had two surgeries back to back and a blood transfusion. I was sleeved june 26 2012. In and out the hospital. I cried everyday. I begged God to help me. So many er visits. I prayed and prayed for healing . I also had many people praying for me. God heal me. I was able to finally drink today and eat without throwing up or getting nauseated . I read healing scriptures . It helped. God wants to heal you and he will. I wanted to give up so many times. God would not let me. He would send people to talk to me. I have a wonderful husband . He will not let me give up. I would get so depress. I could not even go to the store without getting sick. Simple stuff I was use to doing like washing dishes, I could not do without getting sick. I started asking God to help me . I even had to started praying for my doctors. Today I saw a change. I will pray for you. I know it works. Be strong and know that God loves you. He is willing and able to heal you. He is always with you.

I wish everyone good health .

I have Pcos too. My cycles are still bad. I was told, I need a DNC. Hopefully after the DNC, I will notice change. I was sleeved in June. My insulin levels are normal now. I've lost over 50 lbs. I was sick weeks after surgery. So the weight came off fast.
