I had sleeve surgery June 26. I've been to the er or been admitted to the hospital.

First visit - Get sleeved

Week after pain. My pancreas, gallbladder, ans liver.

The next week shortness of breath. I had to get a blood transfusion.

All the other visits can't keep anything down. Er your levels are high. All we can do is give you meds.

My surgery doctor give me gallbladder meds.

He got all the reports from er visit. All er visits said my gallbladder needs to come out.

I don't regret getting the surgery. Things happen. My doctor wanted to avoid another surgery first. He thought the meds would help. After so long now....im just saying. Lets try something else.He's a cool doctor. We sat down and talked. He said he wants to get me better. We are moving forward. I had to share. Because its so important to trust God and yourself. I could have passed out with my low blood. I was told I was dehydrated ... When the er ran test my blood levels like below 7 really low. I needed blood right away. If I walked I was out of breath. My heart was pumping hard. It took me 45 mins to get ready.

You can always pay those extra hospital bills 5 dollars a month. Trust me they will work with you.

Sorry for errors on iv pain meds.

Don't give up. Listen to your body. Fight for yourself. My husband fought for me too.

Thanks for all the kind words. I have a upper gi test done in the morning.

      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.
