SleeveNoob

March 5 my dad had been sleeved and two days post op found two pin hole leaks. He was eventually put on life support for 3 Weeks with kidney, lung, and liver failure and was septic. after being in the hospital for over a month he was sent home on a feeding tube with stents covering the pin holes they had turned to nickel size holes. He had his feeding tube in til June and was not allowed to eat or dink anything at all. He lost over 100 pounds in 2 months. now 4 months post op he is barely allowed to eat pureed and there is a pocket that formed where the holes were do Dr is scared to let him eat. My dad is miserable and regrets having the surgery done even tho he would have died soon without it. Anyone else experience leaks or near death experiences like this? I was sleeved by same surgeon June 25th and recovery has been quick and amazing.

Any recommendations for "healthier" ice cream lol Sent from my DROID BIONIC using VST

Ever since my surgery my left thigh has been numb. No pain just a tingly numb feeling...maybe my anti nausea shot caused this...but its been a month and its still numb. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using VST

35 lbs lost since my surgery 6/25/12. Starting weight 252 current weight 217. I find im only losing about a pound a week...i eat well but have not been exercising like i know i should. Where is everyone at 2 months out?

Week 5 i was eating same amount i eat now...if i were eating dense protein only 2-3 ounces if that but i can easily eat 5 oz of cottage cheese or tuna.

Im 7 weeks out and can eat 4-6 oz and doc says thats normal. I am a fast eater so i learned if i eat past the 6 oz im screwed lol so i try to measure my food to around 6 ounces and wont eat s bite over

After losing 28lbs and gaining 1 pound back ive hit my first stall 7 weeks out but my clothes are getting looser so im not too upset. Hate being a slow loser but know it is healthier for my skin. Just wanted to share. How are my fellow june 25th sleevers weight loss coming along? Sent from my DROID BIONIC using VST

How much weight have you lost? Sent from my DROID BIONIC using VST

Amazing! You look great! Sent from my DROID BIONIC using VST

After research they say no smoking for a month pre op and post op. After that it does not effect your sleeve. But of course it does your overall health. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using VST

IT DOES HURT! a lot of folks think if they eat something bad and then drink it will flush out the bad...WRONG! it actually will still absorb in your intestines. i didnt watch the video so it may cover that but i heard its called Slurry. i as others have will sip if needed and i avoid foods that make me thirsty such as crackers, peanut butter, any dry foods. i was kinda curious if we are allowed cereal....oh how i miss it!!

Im 6 weeks out and feel completely normal just have to take an antacid Sent from my DROID BIONIC using VST
