Hi was wondering if anyone from Ohio has had the sleeve surgery. My name is Lindsay I'm 30 yr old I have a husband and two children and I have only been heavy for about 9 yrs, I blew up after having my daughter in 2003. I am dealing with complications after surgery. The night after my surgery my stomach swelled shut leaving me not able to drink or eat. I know have a pic line and iv nutrion with no date to get off. Anyone else out there have this happen?

Hi

Make sure that you get all your dr.s to give notes to insurance it will help you case go quicker!! My throat seems to be swelling right now it's feels funny so maybe I should back off trying liquids. I feel better as long as I don't try to drink anything. They want me to keep trying but I think I need to back up. Good luck getting your date!!

I'm in Fairfield, OH. Had mine done by Dr. Curry in early August. I'm so sorry to hear that you're having complications. I'm not saying you're doctor isn't good, but have you thought about a second opinion? I know nothing about your doc, so I'm not bashing him/her. Just trying to help you get answers. I've had nothing but excellent service from Dr. Curry's office. I've had no complications and have no food intolerances. I know everyone is different and complications happen, but maybe you could call and talk to them if you're not getting answers elsewhere?

      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.
