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.

Today it came out. My husband said they the doc told him they removed 200 pebble looking gallstones.

I don't regret WLS.

God is a healer. Im still in the hospital

Hey

friend!!!!!

Im having the upper gi in the morning. I was on so many pain meds. How are you?

Listen to your body . Fight for yourself. I think the doctor that, I was lying. The test and two different hospitals with different doctors dont lie. I was in pain and needed serious medical attention.

I had to come to the hospital before surgery have to have blood work, ekg and chest xray. I never had gallbladder issues, pancreas issues or liver issues before. After surgery is when this happen. I had my liver checked months before surgery by my Pcp. She checks everything. I read that gallbladder issues is come with WLS.

I have really bad cycles do to the Pcos. I bleed for like 3 months. I went to my ob and surgery doc before to make sure I could have this surgery. They said yes. It would help. I was told today before surgery, that my cycles and all gallbladder issues and everything else could have caused all the heavy bleeding. When I tell you my cycles have been bad, they have. Plus I was taking off my birth control and put back on it. Taken off again but back on it. That was messing me up too. I was losing a lot of blood. My surgery doctor said I needed blood. He said I was pale.

Im grateful right now . Because I got the help, I needed which is oh so important. After surgery my cycle slowed down.

I had to explain to my friends and family that my body is different from the next. I knew the risk. I went to three different doctors they told me that this surgery would be best for me. I tried to diet own my own before. With Pcos we carry fat that's hard to get rid of. I was 250. Im 195 now. I lost a little more weight. Don't have insulin issues anymore. I don't take high blood pressure medications and im not at risk for heart disease and certain cancers. With Pcos you are at risk for all of that and more. Losing the weight and keeping it off is key for me.

      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.
