I am 4 and a half weeks post op. (sleeved May 22) I have trouble with back pain and headaches from allergies. I've tried taking Tylenol and Ibuprofin (both ok'd by the doc) but both of them give me horrible diarrhea (sorry TMI). I've been using my pain pills in the meantime, but does anyone have any suggestions as to what might help? Thanks so much!

June sleevers?
DallasSleeve replied to Healthier2day1227's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi everyone! My surgery was June 10th and I have to admit it was pretty rough! My Dr. said the surgery went really well except that they had trouble getting the camera scope down my esphogaus. Apparently, I have a little curve in it so they had to do a lot of wiggling. This led to a lot of chest pain afterwards! I was in recovery for 3 hours because I could not stop vomiting. And it was blue vomit- tmi, I know but did you know the dye they use in surgery was blue? The nausea did not stop there- I threw up and dry-heaved several times the next 2 days, including the barium swallow and the first dose of liquid pain meds. It REALLY hurt every time! I was definitely questioning my decision to have the surgery. BUT, now 6 days out, I am feeling so much better. I've only been on liquid tylenol so I was able to drive yesterday, go to church today and start feeling normal again. And I slept on my side last night! I am excited for this journey and to get to the mushy stage- I'm really having trouble getting in the protein. Can't wait to see how everyone else is doing! -
Success! !!! Today. I feel so much better today not really sore, JP drain. Is looking clear, gas is coming out and my intestines finally woke up. Tmi. Sorry. 6Days after surgery and I feel almost normal again.

OK...for everyone this is gonna be TMI...but I didnt wear panties for a week after surgery...I wore my night gown home...had a hard time getting them up and down after surgery...But all the holes are above your belly button for this surgery.
-
I didn't wear any since they made me strip completely for surgery and since my robe covered everything, I didn't bother putting on the ones I packed. Was easier to use the restroom without dealing with panties. TMI I guess but just weighing in
-
hmmm....does this qualify as TMI ?
-
So I'm due for surgery the 24th and I'm also do for my monthly do we get completely naked in surgery or just tops ? Can I still have surgery on my monthly? Forgot to ask yesterday at the office.
-
Well my intestines finally woke up! Yeah. Liquids in, liquids out. Ugh. Sorry for the TMI.

I have been on iron supplements for several days because my hemoglobin is only 10.1, and it needs to be higher prior to surgery. The supplements are making me miserable. I have irritable bowel syndrome and they are giving me a lot of gas, gas pains and pretty bad diarrhea. Does anyone have any recommendations for a different brand or formulation? I am just taking vegetarian tablets from CVS.

Thanks everyone. I can swallow!! I just get full very fast. And I feel like my meds are getting stuck. Or things are just going down slow and I burp up the taste of whatever I drink. Nothing comes up (TMI) just the taste or smell. I've gotta stay hydrated but its hard. SF Popsicles have been great!! And sip sip sip.
-
I have TMI rant. When you get sleeved, be prepared for your bowel movements to be very loose. It's not pretty.
-
Lol! I've been on nuvaring for 7 years! It's very effective! My hubby is um.. Gifted? Lol.. And it sometimes comes out depending on the position (lol tmi) but as long as you out it back in within 3 hours its still effective! I'm don't havering kids though, and was considering mire a, but I'm scared of it puncturing something!

Oh Janet...I pray your are feeling better now. What a horrible event to go through... Nothing like experience to be the best teacher. Sushi is acting more like herself today. Her respiration is back down to 20 where the vet wanted it to be. Jack and I are both so happy...she's the baby we dote over now. My bad night was drinking a half of a Protein Shake towards bedtime. I know I am unable to fall asleep when I am hungry. TMI, I stayed awake for 2 hours after sipping the shake. I thought that would be enough time before lying down. About 4 hours later, it was like a PB, and I only made it to the sink. This is all very concerning and confusing to me. It was authentic hunger...and I also feel reflux if I go too long without coating my stomach. Beginning to believe that my time with my band is limited...

Tmi but I hover in an attempt and even get a super watery mouth I want to throw up but can't! for me it's that dreadful one bite too many and I'm begging to throw up! Surgery date 7/25/12

I did a really stupid thing..... I got some Dulcolax stool softeners (tmi), don't want to end up in ER impacted and I don't want to take a laxative every day. Makes it hard to go anywhere. Anyways, when I got home with them, I realized they were gel caps and I know they won't go threw without getting stuck. Smart me decided, I'll bite into it and wash the liqiud down with water, like I do with my Tylenol. FYI, do not ever do that!!!! It has burned the crap out of my throat and made any drink or my lunch taste awful. Its been 2hrs and the burning is letting up. But boy, how dumb! I can't imagine how that would feel stuck and disolving around my stoma, ouch. Needless to say, back to the regular laxative.

In my 5th week, on solids, but still having loose BM!
mistysj posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry if this is TMI. I have had very loose stools the whole time. At first it was blamed on the swallow test drink. Then it was blamed on the liquid diet. But it persisted through purée and now that I'm on solids it's still happening twice or three times a day. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat. I'm actually getting less than 10 grams of Fiber a day. I'm afraid to have more because it might make it even worse. It's embarrassing as hell in public bathrooms. This has really been my only unpleasant symptom. I have only been on solids for two days. Is there hope that this will stop? Should I be worried? I am not a worrier by default and so far I have just toughed it out. But come on. I envy those who have the other problem. At least you can just take something for that. -
I am now a master farter!
mistysj replied to AussieLady's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Awesome. I had hoped this went away when I got to solid food. Not so far. At least they don't have "cargo" like during the liquid phase. I'd apologize for TMI but this whole thread is TMI! -
Has anyone doctor require a laxative day or two before surgery? My doctor has not mentioned it and seems a little weird.
-
This may be TMI but, I finally pooped!!! Wasn't much but it's a start!!! Maybe everything is waking up finally!!!
-
Okay, so I'm 7 weeks out, and this is super TMI. About three weeks ago, I started my period; it lasted about three days, which was normal for me. About two days after it was over, it started again, heavier. It lasted about three days, again. Two days after that, it started again, and I'm shocked that I have this much blood in my body. Anyone else going through this?

Anyone else sleeved Monday may 20
Lorraine_2013 replied to sissytx's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sleeved 5/21 and feeling pretty good. Struggling with life this week as the love of my life has left. Tmi I know but let me tell ya I can't get a thing in and I was rocking this!! I started at 257 and I'm now at 220 so I'm feeling good about being down 37lbs in 3 weeks! Congrats to all and best of luck. -
I finally peed again!!! I'm so relieved!!! Now to try and get some protein in. I also finally farted. Sorry for the tmi. They were way little lame farts but its a start.

I have the stomach flu for a couple of days, and while that sucked, it did make me think that a liquid diet would not be complete unbearable... On the other hand, it was 2 days, not 2 weeks pre/2 weeks post, but hey, I'll take support where I can get it!
