30 plus days in hospital



Recommended Posts

Wow girl, that is just awful. I know you are so worried about the medical bills on top of everything else, I can only imagine. I hope you are over the hump and through the worst of it. I had a c-section in 1998 and I had a staple that apparently twisted and oozed and hurt forever. I wonder if this is the issue with these leaks, like a staple gone wrong...I thought they should restaple it and start again, but no. Even with that wound it had to drain and find a way to heal on its own. Our body's are such miracles in themselves....just pray for that little leak line of yours to heal.

I'm not far from you, in Houston. Wish I could come see you. Are you lonely or do you have company?

Dee Dee,

I am so sorry. Please know that you have tons of love and support via these forums. I can't imagine how emotionally exhausting almost a month in the hospital would be. I will be thinking of you and hope that your doctors and your body are able to get things healed and you will be able to feel better very soon. Keep posting if you need to vent and need some support! We're here.

Its good to hear from you. You know how very difficult this has been. My doctor just came by. Patience is the key and I have very little if any left. I think they will try another barium test on Tue to see how much is left to heal...we were getting close. He said the good thing, my nutruition has never bee better having been feed liquid high quality food. Please keep me in your prayers..it's what I need the most. Diane

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
