Sleeved yesterday!



Recommended Posts

Just got home a little while ago. So glad to be out of the hospital.

I'm very tired and sore, and dealing with gas pains and occasional nausea. Trying to get my clear fluids in, but having a rough time. Hoping to start feeling human again soon.

Anyone care to give me a pep talk, because I could sure use one right now! I'll start to feel better soon, right?

Take it slow! the 2 things you need to worry about is 1. healing and 2. drinking your liquids very slow! You will feel better and better ea. day. Hang in there! You can do this!

I had a horrible time with liquids and a friend told me to set a timer and take another sip every 15 minutes. That saved me from getting dehydrated.

Just think in another few days, weeks, months you will be so happy and feel FANTASTIC!!! You can do it!

You will feel better. Remember that with anything it takes time to adjust. Sip, sip, sip take it slow. Be gentle with yourself. Do the best you can and you will see that each day it is a little better. Before you know it, this phase will be in the past. I'm only a week out from my surgery so not an expert, but after having spent 27 years in health care I do know that you need to be gentle with yourself. Don't fret, just do the best you can each day. Hang in there.

      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.
