Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!
Peekboo replied to Marielbx's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Lovely I did have a problem with the little dizziness or weakness. It was about eight days postop. I laid down and I took my blood pressure which seem to be a little low. I took a little nap and after that I seem to be okay I did add more Water that day and I seem to be fine. I have not had any other problems and today is my post op.I have been taking blood pressure pills for about 13 years now and it seems that my blood pressure is starting to be pretty low. I will see my doctor in a couple of weeks my primary care doctor that is, and see what he suggests. I understand that you normally don't get off your blood pressure meds until you lose about 50 pounds. Deb I'm praying for you too. You will do fine. -

Kathy my pain the little bit of pain that I had, was surgical also. I took pain medication while in the hospital once because I don't do very well with pain medication. I ended up having to take pain medication two more times maybe day four and a five and then that was it the soreness went down and the swelling went down some and I was much better. I hope you feel better soon. -

Chelle, u r too funny. As women we r just used to taking care of most things ourselves. Definitely rest your body while you can. When someone else has to take over for a while, they ready appreciate us more :-) -

Hey Babble girl, lol, chellede My incisions started itching at about one week. One was very swollen and irritated but calmed down quickly. My belly button area developed a large bruise that it didn't have the week prior but it doesn't hurt so I guess its just tissue trama. I thinkim healing pretty good. -

Susan I was exactly like you. I only followed the 15 min rule the first 2 days. Then I could drink the protein drink, about 12 ounces in about 30 minutes. I can do it about 20 minutes. I will see my doctor on Tuesday. I will ask about it. I dont seem to be having any issues with gas or pain. I hope it doesn't mean that I will be able to eat hardy too, lol. -

Karen I did notice that when I took a drink that was a little too big I wouldn't get the burpees. It seemed to last for the first 5 days. Only get that occasionally now.I do seem to have the sensation of bubbles in my stomach most of the time but it does not seem painful to me -

I don't think your personality will change unless you lose 50 or 60 pounds and get extra fine :-) I felt a bit off for the first few days but it will pass in a few days. -
