Hi Dayle,

Wow, I'm very sorry to hear you had a rough time in the hospital. I would say Congrats on the loss but the road to it was more suffering - so I'll just leave it at that.

I do hope you get to feeling better fast, and that you can get to be happy for your new sleeve.

Get plenty of rest and follow your Dr.s orders, and I'm positive for you that you will get well soon. Hang in there!!

Hi Dayle, I am so sorry you had such a horrendous hospital experience. I am being sleeved the 10th of January, and am aware there are complications to be considered. I pray you are doing lots better and will begin to enjoy the fruits of all your suffering. Keep in touch. I am very concerned about how you are recovering. Be Free

Well damn! I was wishing you the best and easiest surgery experience ever. I am glad though that your complications were not of a horribly serious nature and I hope that you start feeling better now that you are out of the hospital. Like Lil Miss said the weight loss is one positive of the whole mess but I wish it would have came without the fuss. Best wishes, sip as much as you can and keep us posted.

I am so sorry to hear of your horrible time. Just hang in there. Once you are able to get the fluids in, it will get so much better. I gained 14 lbs while in the hospital and it took much longer than a week to lose that and get back to presurgery weight but I am now 30+ pounds lighter and feel so much better. Keep following your doctor's advise. Good luck and keep up posted.

I am so sorry about your bad experience. Try drinking warm drinks like hot tea. I know that made it so much easier for me to drink my fluids, especially the first few days. Get well soon. Hugs.

Yes it is no cake walk for many of us. Kind of shocks you, right? I think it is hard to know what to expect bc sometimes it is so smooth and other times...and I am assuming you were throwing up dried blood, not dye, right? I threw up a lot of black blood. I was very nauseated until all of it came up. It was very scarey. I hope you feel better now, please update us on your condition. God Bless You & Keep You Safe.

I did this too. It was so creepy and scary when it happened, and thank goodness I was in the hospital when it happened. The nurse came and told me it was normal and to relax. I was really freaked out about that.

However, also like you - I just felt awful sick until I did that. That was my turning point right there as far as my nausea was concerned.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
