I am still at the hosptial in Mexicali and the care has been excellent, but I am not doing very well. They are keeping me an extra day. I have thrown up everything I take in and have done all the leak tests and I'm okay. They are medicating nausea but I don't even know if thats what it is. And now, I am scared to drink anything at all. What do I do? i am despereate to go home, I am in a bad place emotionally, and read everyone's quick recovery stories and feel so confused. Help!

I'm so sorry to hear you aren't feeling well after your surgery. I don't have any advice for you as I don't have my surgery until April 6th but I am thinking of you and hoping today is the day that you keep something down. Let us know when you start to feel better as i am positive you will soon.

Anna, try to remain calm. I know it's scary, and you are stressed. Please know I'm praying for you, and I hope that you feel better soon.

Some people have a rocky first few days. Don't be scared to take in tiny sips, make sure to ask for meds, and let them help you.

I was the same way!!!

Couldnt even keep the Water from ice chips down!!

You passed the leak test and that is the main thing so try not to stress.

I know I was told the same thing and it was really hard. Its just that your tummy is really really irritated in side and its going to take an extra day or so for you.

I promise you will get better.

Anna honey, sending big hugs your way. We are all so different. Please don't compare anyone else's journey to yours. You don't have any leaks, that's the wonderful news. Focus on what's right. Your tiny Sleeve is swollen right now. I wasn't allowed even an ice chip for over 24 hours post-op. Sleeve doesn't want much. You're probably on an IV so don't need to worry about fluids today. Sip when you can and get them to give you those anti-nausea meds. Trust that tomorrow will be better. Maybe today you'll nap and wake up feeling a little stronger.

You're going to be ok, in fact, you're going to be just fine. The first few days are the toughest for us all. Know that we're here for you and sending good healing energy your way.

hugs and more hugs....

Anna,

I had my surgery with Dr. Aceves and had the same exact issue. I promise you that it does get better and they are doing everything they can to help you keep something down. The second day was the worst and all I wanted was for them to put it back because I was so tired of the dry heaves. It is absolutely horrible but you WILL be able to keep something down soon. The only thing that I could keep down was the chicken broth before I left. I know that you are afraid but just keep trying cause the sooner you keep it down than the sooner you get to go home. Please keep us posted and let us know when you are home. The extra day will only make the flight home a little easier.

Anna,

I hope you get to feeling better soon. Just relax and know that things will get better, it just may take a couple days. Just take it one day at a time and you'll be back before you know it! Sending hugs your way.

So sorry that you are having trouble, it does get better it just might take a little longer than you wanted. Make sure to get liquids in...even if they make you sick. The drugs will kick in and you will get past htis.

Hugs to you!!

I can't speak from experience since my sleeving is in a week but my friend Vicky who was sleeved by Dr. Aceves just in February told me she went through the exact same thing...a bad reaction to the anesthesia. She threw up for three days and they asked her to stay another day too. Now she is so happy and has already lost 40+ pounds but she DID say it was a really rough hospital recovery so you are not alone! Ruth

I am so sorry Anna. I know several people who have gone through this too. Everyone is different. I know you're anxious to go home, but you need to stay in the hospital. They know best how to help you. Just think, if you were in the U.S. you would be paying extra for the extra days in the hospital. Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos have much experience with this problem, and they will get it figured out and know when it's best for you to be able to travel. In the mean time, try to relax and do what they tell you to do. They know the right medication to help you.

We are all praying for you!

I feel so bad for you, I too had nausea on the second day, could not get all the blue dye down and the day I left I was miserable. We stayed an extra day at the hotel and I walked the halls and had ice chips which helped. Something cold felt better on my tummy. It will get better!!! Every day you will be amazed at how much better you feel. Prayers and hugs to you.

Linda

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
