Post Op-- Not Good So Far

[atelux17 135]

So I was sleeved 11/16. Woke up started walking& doing spirometer. At about 3 am BP tanked down to 70s/40s& got a 1 liter bolus. 2 hrs later tried to go to bathtoom&said I'm going to blackout' tried to lean back to bed. But somehow ended up on floor. Next thing I knew all my co-workers (yep i work here, no privacy for me)were lifting me back to bed. Blacked out again woke up in the middle of a code speed w/ HR in 150s& Bp down to 70s. Got 2 liters of fluid& 2 units of blood. Doc moved my gastrograffin swallow til today& said I might still be bleeding from staple line. Very weak now. sleeping a lot/too much. My drain dumping blood like 500 cc per day. I'm scared.

Had my sleeve done on 11/8, my blood pressure also dropped during the night. My hospital and nursing staff were "johnny on the spot" for me the entire time. Hang in there, it does get better. I was pumped so full of fluids when I got home I had gained 17 pounds in the hospital. I am now 10 days out from the surgery and doing amazing well. Only 1 bought of nausea (post ride home from hospital). Each day I feel better and stronger. Still sore, but find that the pain meds aren't needed anymore (unless I over do it). I have lost the 17 pounds plus 14 more since 11/8. It just feels so good.

Be sure to get up and move about, but also REST when your body tells you to. That's the key to success, learning to listen to your body and it's needs. Most of us have never done that.

I will pray for you, it will get better!

I am happy you are with people who care. Praying for you. Do a blood test to check hematocrit.
