Well this will be my last VST entry. My sleeve blew out just below my esophagus, food was leaking into my body and caused a major abcess. Sooo, my entire stomach had to be removed, they did a bypass, so I'm back to square one. Unfortunately, I'm on a temporary feeding tube which is no fun. Also, I went through oxycodone withdrawal, if it weren't for my faith in my Lord Jesus Christ I would have lost it. I guess I'm one of the one percent

Not sure

It seem that a lot of sleevers are in their 30's and 40's. I'm in my 50's and wanted to hear from our age group on healing and just getting around. I know I feel so much better just taking off 27lbs and haven't been sleeved yet. So if you are over 50 and have some input, please share it.

Because of previous surgeries I had a lot of scar tissue that prevented them from using the stapler at the top of my sleeve. They were concerned about that the whole time but it seemed to have held, unfortunately it didn't stay that way.

Well July 22 I will be 6 months post op. this is not what I signed up for. As you can read from my other blogs, I have had some strange stuff happening.

Up until this point I was doing really good. Now every time I eat my stomach cramps up.

Sorry but I had my gallbladder out years ago. I'm also running a low grade fever parts of the day. Do have the painful burping, headaches, and tired. I have a surgeon appt in 2 weeks. Also a lot of trapped gas.

I was so glad I had the drain, I did have an infection. I also had a fever.

I used I U, Doc. Selzer he was wonderful. Very happy with I U North.

I've been doing really good but in the last week I can't seem to tolerate any food. I keep getting these stomach spasms. At times there really painful. Anyone experience this?

No, I don't have a gallbladder, and I haven't eaten anything different.

Good question, I have one booked for September and was wondering the same thing.

Just took a pic and I have awful droop under my chin, what can be done without surgery or costing money??

Im 4 months out and went from a 6 1/2 WW to a 6 1/2 med.

Dr. siatras is the first surgeon I saw, he sent me to Dr. Selzer at IU Bariactric cause I'm facing a pancreas transplant. I really liked him.

No, I had insurance

I actually try and eat 1000 cal a day and I'm losing just fine.
