Well I finally was sleeved on September 4 2012. At first I thought surgery was a success with no complication. Wellll needless to say I am still hospitalized. I did developed blood clots in my lungs and now going through all that. Hardest part is my daughter cries at night for me and I cry for her. But I have actually exercised for the first time in a long time by walking the hallways while waiting to heal. I am officially off pain meds now for 2 days. AND they are also considering lowering my diabetic meds already. In all honesty the surgery is not bad at all. It is the aftermath to beware of. Hopefully I will be going home tomorrow and they did delivery my oxygen for home use for the time being. Hopefully it will be for a short time. Please keep me in your prayers that I do get to go home. 2 extra days stinks being in the hospital!!!!

Sorry you've having issues. I know how you feel. I ended up with blood clots all through the arm my i.V. was in and had to go back in the hospital a few days after I was released. You'll be better before you know it!

Feel better!

Icing on cake......my poor Aunt Nina lost her battle with cancer on Tuesday. Of course my cousin did not want me to know due to the surgery I was having!!! Now I can't even go to the funeral cause it is today and I am still in the hospital and than they are transporting the body to Ohio to be buried next to my Uncle. This totally stinks!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry :( the "why me" question is one doctors don't focus on enough, but it's your journey and your life and it has it's own meaning, try putting you illness into the whole of your life- is this part of the struggle something you can handle? Is it what you need to truly move on from the past? And could this untimely death remind you of what could have awaited you if you didn't change your life? Everything happens for a reason, death is part of life, but you still get to live!!! We're all thinking of you & praying for your recovery!

      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.
