Sleeved on Friday and still in the hospital



Recommended Posts

So I went home Saturday got very weak and had to come back in. My bp dropped to 40/10. And the dr determined I was bleeding inside. I went to the icu for a night and then to a room. So here I am waiting for my blood levels to go up. Thank u all for your prayers and well wishes

OMG 40/10! I've never seen a blood pressure that low. I hope they find out what's going on. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hope is going better today now that they know what it is - keeping you in my prayers, from my own hospital bed (I was sleeved today). Question, did they do a leak test on you poor to letting you start on Water? I have an extremly dry mouth because I can't have water till after the leak test tommorow.

Yikes, that is so scary! Another reason Drs should let their patients stay in the hospital longer. I hope you are feeling better soon. Best wishes your way.

So a quick update. I got to go home yesterday. I was bleeding internally they think a blood vessel didn't completely cauterize. I feel so much bettter. Bp is up to 110/50. Thank you all so much for your prayers. I'm having no problem sipping liquids except for the Protein Drinks and they give me diarrhea. I guess it's pretty normal to feel weak after surgery also. Thanks again for being there

I had diarrhea for the first two weeks- my doc suggested diluting the Protein Drinks a bit more. It went away in week 3 (now the opposite!)

So glad you are home!!!!

I'm so glad to hear that you are home and feeling better! You've been in my thoughts...I did have to have surgery for my bleeding, I'm glad you didn't. Take good care with yourself!

So sorry to hear of your complications after surgery. It sounds like you have some anemia from blood loss, too. I hope you will be better very soon! :(:rolleyes:

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
