Went to my assessment. It was incredibly tough. I still have not processed everything. Essentially I have an ED problem. They have worry about my heart, and I require more care. I have been told that I need to be inpatient or attend intensive outpatient ED treatment with medical supervision, until i am proven medically sound. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Sassy Nanny, Thank you kindly. This has been the worst 3 years of my life, plagued with illness and complication after complication. I really thought this last operation would "fix" me. My physical issue would be cared for and so I would be okay. As it turns out, the clock has only been reset. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for sharing your story with me. This is an intense and long process. I find it very comforting to know I am not in this alone. At the same time I am also sad to hear you are enduring this. No one should have to go through this. This Wednesday I am having my ED evaluation. I feel like i am floating down the river, of denial. I have been diagnosed with PTSD, from medical trauma. I greatly struggle with this concept. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

All the details and things we are asked to do lend so well to micromanagement of macronutrients. It's almost unreal; the rules. Then every doctor has a different set of guidelines. My process has been plagued with complications. Leak, stricture/stenosis, ulcers, twisted sleeve, abscess and malnourishment. I was converted to bypass in October, because the stenosis wouldn't stay open. I have developed a chewing and spitting habit. I do not like to eat. I have been told food can kill me (while i had leak and other issues) so i have a ton of anxiety about a feeding. I spent almost 3 years vomiting... Because of the stricture. Food was very painful and started not being able to physically swallow food. I do not enjoy food or the the idea of consuming. I have many other habits that i had beeb afraid to share, but have came up in therapy. Sounds like my "normal" is abnormal for most people. Feeling so let down and regret of my sleeve. But here I am with a bypass and a mental mess. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Cervidae, I hope someone has insight or words of wisdom to share. Do you have an ED? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello, I am curious if anyone has been diagnosed with an Eating Disorder(ED) after surgery. I am three years out and this Wednesday I am being evaluated for an ED. Would love to hear from anyone else who has been here. Best, Sannah Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello. I have had both stricture/stenosis. I also currently have several ulcers on my hook up. I had a scope to diagnosis both of these conditions. An ulcer can over heal becoming a stricture. The ulcer can also quickly become a leak. My surgeons have always gone straight to scope. I have already survived a leak. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ilovecats. How was revision? Dr had talked about this. I am pregnant and having dilation. Very scared. I cant really eat.

I call it "the flow" not slimes It doesnt matter how much or how little i eat. food or Fluid i can get the flow. I vomit randomly as well. Often its bright green vomit.

Breathing feels painful. The pain is radiating toward my back. I have facial flushing. Vomiting fluids lately. Swallowing is not so fun. I have a strong general feeling of unwellness. My next procedure is 08.06.

I am. I tried the all in one iron infed last week. I was allergic. So i am on to plan b, which is 2-5 sessions. My stores are 2-4 and i need to be about a 50. Soon I will start my new sessions of treatment.

Proudgrandma, Thank you for the message. I have been in and out of counseling since my sleeve. I have had trouble processing all if this. I have developed anxiety about my health and medical procedures. I think anyone who is in my situation would feel they have lost their life. I feel like my family is ripped off. I am not able to carry my weight and do what i want and desire. I am 33 years old i should be able to live more freely. It seems my life is living me, rather than me living my life. I have struggled to find normalcy in chaos for too long. My family is very loving and very supportive. My husband is the most patient and dedicated i could ask for. I didnt know living with an hour glass stomach would be so painful.

Thank you kindly kate. I hope you're doing well v

I have two kids. A little girl who is 3.5 and a son who just turned turned 10 months.

Is my post not in the complications section? This is so odd. I am using the app and it shows i have posted in the complications section of VSG. Thank you for the message. I hope you're doing well. I have lost more than 100lbs, i have lost my life. I have had severely diminished quality of life since the sleeve. Needless to say i am very regretful and would gladly accept all weight back. But I cant go back in time. I am hoping some day to make peace with this all.
