Complications after Sleeve Surgery
*Lib* replied to attitudefree's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had complications because I wasn't given the correct information. My surgeon didn't tell me to take the Nexium, and my stomach was raw and left me feeling ill all the time. Due to feeling ill I stopped eating and drinking and ended up in hospital on a drip. I am now taking nexium twice daily and it seems to have settled things down a bit and I am now able to eat and drink. -
I have lost 42lbs and this morning gettting ready for work I really noticed it in my face. But I don't feel like I have lost that much weight.

Down on Myself and Emotional Eating

Don't forget to drink plenty of Water too. Lots of water will fill you up and you'll be too busy running to the bathroom to eat!! Good luck!! -
A question from my fiance
*Lib* replied to Malaika's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My husband helped with the majority care of our 4 year old. He did the cooking for them and made me soup. Just by being there to help me was all I needed. The post op recovery is quite smooth. I din't have my bandages changed, they didn't leak, they freshened them before I left the hospital but after that they were ok. -
Doing much better now. I have been able to eat for 3 days! The few weeks before that I couldn't eat or drink anything, was also a bit mental that was preventing it, but back on now, roll on bikini bodies!!!

I have had a pretty rough recovery. My first 3 weeks was great, then I started to feel sick all the time and vomit daily. Turns out the Dr didn't give me nexium, and the acid caused my stomach to become raw and inflamed. I spent a few days getting rehydrated in hospital and am now finally on my way back! I have lost 41lb so far, so that's been motivational!! :confused1:

I certainly am! Bit cold here today though! But it is a beautiful sunny day, too nice to be at work!

Thank you!

Sorry I should have explained. I was sleeved on the 20th of April and have only in the last 3 days started a normal diet. I have been sick in hopsital with complications and my doctor hasn't really given me much to go on re protien intake and all that stuff.

Did your doctor tell you an expected weight loss?
*Lib* replied to libguy2753's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgeon didn't give me an expected loss. He didn't really even talk about it. I will just aim for 75kg and if I can get past that then great, if not I'll still be smaller than I have been for a very long time! Your surgeon sounds a lot like mine :biggrin0: -
I thought mine were expensive, $23 for a months supply! I'll stop complaining!

I think what everyone says about the banders having a different mindset is so true. My friend was banded and when she found out I was being sleeved the first thing she said to me was, you know its not reversable? Of course I know that, why would I want it to be reversable. This is what I want forever, not some quick fix.
