3 Month Follow Up

[sasicas 194]

Just a quick update. I had the scope done again. There is a good amount of swelling at the top of my sleeve from where the hole was. The swelling was enough that they could not see if the glue from the last scope really closed the hole. The paperwork says its gastritis and he upped my Nexium to twice a day and added in Zantac daily instead of just being as needed like it was before. He told my husband the pain will continue until the swelling goes away, who knows how long that will be. Its just insane to me that I am still fighting swelling in my sleeve at 3 1/2 months post op *sigh* I go back in to see him next week, not sure if there is anything else that can be done other than just waiting. Just hoping to get more pain meds for the days when my sleeve is really angry with me On the plus side I can eat pretty normal now just have to handle the pain from time to time.

You're getting so close to your goal already!! I am glad they are continuing to watch your sleeve closely for now, I hope it heals up completely and doesn't give you anymore problems, EVER. I know you are ready to put the leak behind you and enjoy the wonderful positives of your new sleeved life. You look wonderful!! You're got a great attitude too. Keep it up girlie!!

You look amazing!!! Hope your swelling resolves itself soon. I'm only 5 weeks out, but I am still having to take hyosciamine (the anti-spasmodic) twice daily as I tend to get spasms where my esophagus empties into my stomach. He said my tube was very "tight." I'm sure I will eventually appreciate that!
