Because it's real life is why it can't all go smoothly. I had pneumonia and blood clots in my leg pre-op, so I sympathize with you. How far out are you with the sleeve? Here's hoping it's not a leak, but just a symptom of the pneumonia.

Good luck and please keep us posted. :)

Oh no! :( What symptoms were you having? These two things (leak and clot) are my biggest fear. Everytime I eat I'm just worried I'll tear something up. I hope you feel better soon.

My white count is through the roof and they said that leaks mimic pneumonia symptoms. I am having a CT scan and a leak test shortly. Plus I'm having a Doppler of my left arm which is severely swollen and painful. My dr said that I would feel appending doom if leakage that severe depressing can be a symptom of a leak.

Thinking of you and sending lots of prayers. I have been through leak and pneumonia and it can be rough. Most important is to remember that you will get through it (I know when you are in the middle of it, it sure doesn't seem like it). Try to keep your spirits up.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
