December Surgeries?



Recommended Posts

So, I had my sleeve done on the 13th and everything went well. I came home and filled my prescriptions and after a few days I noticed that my vision had gotten extremely blurry (I have never worn glasses aand have always had good vision) and could not see anything on my phone. My step dad is a pharmacist and he said a lot of the meds I was on could cause blurry vision especially the patch. Since I was about 5 days post op I decided to try and stop my meds to see if it helped and after about 36 hours my vision had returned. Yay! However I noticed that my vision stills gets kind of blurry and isn't as good as it was prior to my surgery. Anyone else experiencing this?

It personally didn't happen to me but I know people have posted about this before. Maybe try a search? Good luck. Hope it gets better for you

I was sleeved 12/10 & I'm miserable! I was supposed to be on full liquids but can't swallow them with out them feeling like they get stuck, so had to switch back to Clear Liquids. My main incision site hurts very bad & I honestly have had moments I've regretted doing this.. I hope I get to where others are soon because this is awful! :(

I understand and feel your pain. I was sleeved on 12/20/12. I am still in pain. I do regret this surgery. I hope it gets better for both of us:

Hi everyone, I was sleeved on December 18th and feel terrific. I only had pain one day, but today I have a little heartburn and a stuck feeling (I hope it's gas)....I am glad everyone seems to be doing well, one day at a time is what we have to do.

Hi fellow December sleevers! I was sleeved on 12/19 and I'm feeling much better. I feel a twinge of pain when I laugh or sneeze, but not as bad as a week ago. I'm returning to normal activity, but I had to take a nap this afternoon. I guess I looked tired since my DH insisted on me getting some rest. Yesterday I walked just over 3/4 of a mile (at my own pace of course) and tried to shoot some basketballs with my 8-yr old. That lasted for all of 5 minutes...

Anyway, I'm excited for what the future holds and I'm glad I'm on the losers' bench. I like how someone here said that this decision was a gift to myself and by extension my loved ones! Cheers and congrats to all for taking this important and critical step forward to longer, healthier and skinnier lives!

Itsmelee, add unflavored Unjury to your liquids (not water) to get your Proteins in. I've been adding 1-1.5 scoops and crystal light to my Water and it tastes great. You'll have to order it online. Each scoop is 21 g of Protein. Good luck!

      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.
