Shemy-away 83 Posted April 13, 2012 Hey Fellow Sleevers!! I wanted to update everyone on my condition. Unfortunately I have to be the Downer of the day. I've been to the ER twice for a gallbladder attack and dehydration. I seriously did not eat for 4 days because the nausea was 24/7. I couldn't even hug my husband because of his cologne. I just thought it was my cycle and decided to push through. But I had the gallbladder attack Friday and I seriously thought I was dying! My heart rate shot up to 113, my BP dropped, and I could feel myself blacking out. Now, the scary part about all of this is since I have medical training, I knew EXACTLY what was happening, which freaked me out more LOL I can laugh about it now, but then, I really thought I was a goner. I have an appointment to talk to my surgeon about yet another surgery to have this thing removed. Take away points: If you have gallbladder stones, symptoms whatever before your surgery, its best just to get that thing out of there before you have an attack. The gallbladder is not a happy camper once you start losing weight and it will not get better. It's too close to the pancreas and liver to have tantrums. Do NOT take your symptoms for granted. Your body is not the same as it was before this surgery so normal symptoms may be a sign of something else. You may feel like a hyperchondriac, but better safe than sorry.

I'm soooo sorry that you've been experiencing this. I had an attack back in 2008 (swore I was having a heart attack), and had mine removed. I'm really glad I did. 1 Shemy-away reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChaChaBurch 60 Posted April 13, 2012 You were right I been in hospital for hydration I was told to eat food with hi Water level like water and kiwis Are you feeling better after the hospital visit? Did they give you IV fluids? I hope you can begin taking in more water. Just try itty bitty baby sips, every few minutes. I'll keep you in my prayers!

I personally think the gallbladder surgery (lapriscopically) is sooooo much easier to recuperate from than the sleeve!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChaChaBurch 60 Posted April 13, 2012 So Marchers - any special plans for the weekend? I've got some work to do in our barn. We have baby chicks and ducks hatching all over the place! And our goats are not happy, so we're going to do some rearranging. I'm also going to attempt to get on my zero-turn mower and get some mowing done. Doctor say's it should be okay as long as I take it easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
