2 Month Post Op Update

[jasleeve 440]

hey guys.. a lot of you have been following my story & know what has been going on. for those of you who havent, let me fill you in.

dec 20th i had my vsg surgery.

week 1 was ok.

week 2&3 were hard. i was so weak, barely ate or drank & i dont tolerate Protein shakes. i felt faint & would struggle to walk a short distance!

week 4&5 were great! i was eating & had energy & felt good! but threw up yellow bile 2x.

jan 20th i went in for a swallow test (leak test) & my sleeve showed a leak. i was hospitalized for over a week & had a stent placed in me on jan 23rd.

since having the stent placed, i was EXTREMELY sick. fought nausea 24/7 & no meds were helping. not reglan or zofran. i just couldnt stop throwing up. even would wake up in the middle of the night to throw up in my mouth and hands!

my stent ended up shifting after 2weeks & i had to undergo an emergency procedure to have it adjusted abd it eased the nausea. during this whole stent experience, i couldnt eat and barely drink! seriously... it was PURE HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

feb 20th (today), i finally got my stent removed and i have no leak!!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!

im relieved that i should be feeling better without my stent & i can go back to feeling great.

im down 55lbs. in no way was this experience worth losing 55lbs. i prefer to have put on 55! i regret surgery because of my complications but i cant undo it so im looking fwd & praying for a better future!

god bless u all

Awww I'm so happy for you! I hope that you quickly end up being thankful for your sleeve! I don't expect you'll ever be thankful for the bad but I can't wait for you to start experiencing some of the joy my sleeve has brought me! And ya know- we really don't live that far apart from each other. I'll be down your way on the 29th- maybe we can grab a bottle of Water lol

[jasleeve 440]

let me know girl... we can so sip Water together.

i pray to love my sleeve one day but cant as of yet. :/

Just a question for a to be sleever. Didn't they check for a leak before you left the hospital?

[jasleeve 440]
