Hello my name is Shelby and I am 23 years old and I had the sleeve done September 9, 2014 about 6 months ago and I do wonder can you become anorexia nervosa from the sleeve? When I had the surgery 4 days after I ended back into the hospital for server abdominal pain and they sent me home for dehydration. Less than 8 hours l was back into the hospital and the held me for 7 days. Doctors and therapist came in and told my mom and me that they were putting me on psych hold and that's when my mom told them that they are fired and she called an ambulance to take me to another hospital. There was a hospital a half hour away and there was a hospital an hour away. So I was on my way to the hospital an hour away but then I coded on the way to the hospital so they took me to the hospital that was a half hour away. Before I was taken from the first hospital my doctor who operated on me for my sleeve he never gave me heparin so I would not have a blood clot. At the second hospital I ended up in surgery so they could see what was going on and I had a blood clot that blocked and killed my small intestine also known as a bowel obstruction. So they removed 3 feet of my intestine. I was open for 24 hours before they could attach the two ends of my intestines together. I had several surgeries to close my stomach up. I was in the hospital for 2 months and when I was there I never ate because I can’t eat anything. I have major complications it’s been six months and I still can eat normal. I lost all appetite and I loss 100lbs in 3 months after my first surgery. Every time I eat I just throw it back up right after like dumping syndrome. I still have server pain on my left side of my abdominal. I also have a feeding tube going down my nose to my small intestine because I ended up in organ failure because of lack of nutrition. I still have a feeding tube and it makes me gain weight and I can kind of eat per-aided foods time to time. I always check every night how much I weight and I count calories and I still don't eat much. I use to weigh 411lb and now its I weigh 310lb and I lost that much in 3 months and now with my feeding tube my weight is a few pounds up and then down. I have been worried about the way I feel about eating I do hate food but I do get hungry and one of the things is that it hurts so much every time I eat. I took a test and it asked me questions and it gave me a score and they did say I was anorexia nervosa and I took other test and got the same way. I am not sure how to deal with everything. I am sorry that this is a lot to say but I need help. I also have to see a doctor in hematologist oncologist to check on my blood clot because they say I have DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and MVT (Mesenteric Vein Thrombosis). Also I had a bowel obstruction and that causes so many other problems like me ending up with another bowel obstruction, cancer or chromes and several other problems. If anyone has had similar problems like I do then let me know because I need help. Thank you for reading this anything will help. :) THANKS
