"worst Decision I Have Ever Made Update"



Recommended Posts

Well hello everyone,

As you read in my earlier post "worst decision I ever made" I have had a really rough time since I had my sleeve surgery on May 3,2012. I am happy to report that I was once again put in the hospital on Tuesday for dehydration. My doctor decided to go back in and do a scope on me to see if he could figure out what all my problems were coming from. When he went inside my tummy with a camera there was a piece of scar tissue that appeared to be causing a little obstruction. He also stretched my esphogas. He also went back into two of my incesions to check the outside of my tummy. The staple line and all else was perfect. He removed the piece of scar tissue and I have actually been able to eat a small amount of food today and was able to drink some fluids and hold them down.

I feel better today than I have in the last month. I actually have been up all day moving around and doing stuff around my house. Before I was so weak and sick I slept most of the day.

I just want to thank everyone who gave me so much support and sent me lots of prayers through this difficult time in my life. I feel like I am finally on the road to recovery : ) Still have a little ways to go but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...

Everyone have a super blessed day : )

So pleased for you. It may seem strange but we're all on this roller coaster together, so when something goes wrong for someone we all feel it!

Good luck

I'm so glad they found what was causing your issues. It's bad enough to have problems but even worse if you don't know why you are having the problems. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

I'm so sorry you had such a hard time, but what a relief to know that the issue is something that could be corrected and now you can be on the road to healing.

I have had surgeries that didn't go well in the past too, scar tissue is not my friend, and it's the biggest thing that scares me about the surgery.

My prayers are with you that you continue healing and you start feeling better soon.

Thrilled you are okay mary...I was worried about you! I am back in hospital again too. Fainted due to low potassium and Iron. CT scan showed an abscess. Back on Clear Liquids so nausea is better...not hungry at all. Hope to go home early next week. Im 6 weeks out...was so hoping to be more advanced with my diet. Just don't want a feeding tube...that was something my surgeon said she might consider if I can't get in solids....that was scary. Got to overcome this! Good luck Mary! X

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
