Hi! I have 1 month until my surgery (sleeve). Has anyone had trouble with anemia after surgery? or bathroom habits? Just wondering. I really like this forum for our concerns. Thanks

Hi, I had my surgery 052219 (sleeve). No anemia, however constipation and did not have first bm until 8 days later, no call for alarm as you have no food in you as well. I had issues with dehydration because I couldn't take my vitamins only during the liquid stage (first stage), I lost 58 pounds very rapidly. As soon as I was able to progress to the 2nd stage and try some regular foods like Taco Bell beans & cheese, tuna, and cheese & eggs I got a little strength and things got better. I had no pain with the surgery, never took any pain meds. I started my journey during menopause, so the weight loss hasn't been great (my own fault) but many that had surgery from the same center have done a great job on losing over a hundred plus pounds. You got this!
Everyone has different experience, so just know that your experience will be totally different and you may not experience any of those symptoms. Best wishes luv!
