Where Is Everyone From?
Sweetyne01 replied to SleeveShelly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hampton Roads area of Virginia -
I have the same weight on surgery day and the same surgery date. I think my slow weight loss is due to my leak. I was hospitalized for 9 days for the leak.

I bought Flintstones with iron. My doctor said that was fine.

I went to a support group meeting and a person there was supposed to schedule her surgery that week and found out he was no longer doing surgery after working with him for six months. I am also glad I picked Dr. Chastanet. He is probably one of the nicest and caring doctors I have ever met. -

Having a hospital Christmas.
Sweetyne01 replied to lizv123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Liz I know it's rough..I spent 12 days in the hospital for my leak. I spent Thanksgiving in the hospital on TPN.. it wasn't fun. I felt the same way you do, that the surgery wasn't worth it. Two weeks later my attitude has changed. While I don't regret the surgery anymore I just wish I had a better outcome. If you have any questions feel free to message me. -
Moving onto soft solids!

I am having my first meal as we speak...after 6 weeks (2 preop and 4 postop ) it feels wonderful to eat. I wish you the best of luck!! -
Depending on your plan a three or six month supervised diet by your doctor. Nutritional visits, psychology testing. you also have to prove that you have been overweight for at least two years. It took aetna two weeks to approve me.

Hi everyone. My name is Bonnie and I am 29. I was sleeved November 12, went home on November 14 and came back on November 18 in severe pain. I am NOT trying to scare any one, but I am a part of the 1% that developed a leak. If you guys have any questions or concerns, just let me know and I will try to help!

Has Anyone Had A Leak With There Sleeve
Sweetyne01 replied to starr1202's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes I am in the hospital now with a possible leak. My surgery was 11-12, I was released 11-14 back on 11-18 with severe pain. They waited too long to do my ct scan so now I have to wait until tomorrow. But they did remove about 5 cups of nasty stuff yesterday. Sorry if that was tmi! -
I was sleeved on November 12th. I have pain on my left side of my stomach area that will not go away. Is this normal? I have tried gas-x, tums, heating pad, pas in medicine... nothing is helping.
-
Thanks everyone! I am trying to walk as much as I can. Hopefully it will get better because right now I feel like I made the wrong decision.. I know I didn't but I never imagined pain like this.

I'm trying to get water in but I get nausea because of the pain.

Sweetyne01 replied to dlinnh's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also sleeved on Monday the 12th. I am having the exact same problems.. I am glad I am not alone. I have tried walking, gas x strips and nothing is helping the gas. I hope the pain goes away soon! -

Pre Op Diet Started Today

personally, I use Vanilla Lite Silk (soy milk). Sometimes I put half of a small banana to give it a little more flavor. -
Congrats!

Any November 14Th Sleevers?
Sweetyne01 replied to veronica84's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
It gets easier. I have noticed if I eat the shakes the same time every day, I am not as tired and no headache. I keep telling myself this is only for a month. (two weeks pre-op and two week post-op). When my family eats, I don't even want what they have. I hope this feeling continues! How are you doing? -

Any November 14Th Sleevers?

Mine is scheduled for the 12th!! -
Welcome! I am fairly new to this site too. I am scheduled for surgery on November 12th (pending approval from Aetna). I have two kids (2 and 11). The biggest problem I see is that I can't lift the youngest for 2-3 weeks.
