My sleeve was in may of 2012. Iv lost 118 pnds and look and feel great. Im one of the lucky one to not have much sag at all. I was 324 now 206. Now I'm craving junk food...twinkies cookies cake ice cream OMG what the heck...could it be my vitamins...this is driving me nuts...i gotta go eat a HoHo...

My sleeve was on 5/23/12 and i had the dry heaves 12 hrs later and it was were i was put to sleep. A blood pocket formed the size of a soft ball on the opposite side of my staples and they put a second drain in me. I was told were i heaved so hard that i probably busted a vessel. I had a fever with it. I had that drain for about 3 weeks and they pulled it out when the pocket shrunk to the size of a quarter said my body would absorb it and it would take a wile. So if u had the dry heaves and they were so bad that u felt like someone was trying to crawl out ur throat and u start a high fever a day or two later u better get back to the ER and make sure u didn't pop a vessel too......good luck.

Dont think it will ever stop

I got my drain out yest, i feel a tiny bit better. I start my stage 3 today finaly!! Leave for vac tomar, if me and the better half dont kill each other first! Wish me luck everyone!

Thanks for the kind words. I had surg on may 23 2 nights in and 3 days out then i started a high fevor, called dr he said get to ER, i did and they did a ct scan and i have a blood pockett, abcess so the radioligest put another drain in. Iv got the j-tube out now but the other drain is still there, i flush it every 8 hrs. Now the days i was in after surg i had dry heeves for 3 days strait as hard as i could. The radioligist that put my abcess drain in said dryheeves can bust vessals and create blood pockets my dr says he think i just bleed alot. I think im staying sick cause of the drain and yes i have forgot why i did this crap to my self. Iv spent 6 years in the army, i was shot in dessert storm iv had surg on my knees iv been thru alot and never been so misrable in my life. But the dr says hang in there shane it gets much better. Iv been on full liquids for a mnth and im just really BUMBED!!!! Right now if i could go back knowing, i prob wouldnt! But i have so i gotta do my best! Its like why did i do this when befor I HAD NO PROBLEMS EXCEPT I WEIGHED OVER 300pnds Ps. Sorry, my spelling isnt great

I Had a j tube on my right side and had it taken out 2weeks ago but i have another drain on my left side for a abcess i had and its been there for 2 weeks now im hopeing next week it comes out. Not much of anything comes out of it. My Dr has keep me on full liquid sense surgery (5-23-12). I stay sick at my stomach. Has anyone stayed sick till they got the tube out and u think the tube in my stomach is why my dr still keeps me on full liquid.

Im glad ur doing better! I have my ct on tuesday to see if my drain in my abcess comes out.

Good luck. My girlfriend said i jinkes my self cause i said i was gonna breeze thru, i think she was right, .....(as allways)
