Recommended Posts

I'm looking for someone who can help go through this with me. I was sleeved Wednesday. I did experience minor complications, I am 20 and I'm the youngest patient m doctor has did. I failed my barium swallowing test the morning after surgery because my throat was so swollen. I also had horrible gas pains that medication wouldn't touch. It is now Friday and I finally got to come home. Doing much better just very sore, swallowing is alot better also!

Hey! I had my surgery the Thursday before you, and I'm eighteen! So I was the youngest my doctor has too! This just means we have a more speedy recovery!

Your throat was swollen because of the tubes irritating it? Did you get another leak test later?

Congratulations to both of you youngun's from a 64 year old. B)

No I didn't have to get another one done because i slowly tested myself. I can feel it going down and my throat makes a weird noise sometimes when I swallow. He said it could be from the tubes, or just being young. He said each person is different.

I am sooo sore today :(

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.

I have never heard of being young as a reason for a sore throat or noise when you swallow. But I am no doctor. Yes, each person is different.

The noise is gone now and swallowing is much better. I just swelled up more than most. But I'm back on track now and everything is

Normal.

Take your pain meds, get your walking in and concentrate on healing! Also an anti acid and Tums chewables are great for gas and swelling.

Chelsey and Teribearyy,

I'm a 64 year old guy who went through cancer treatment which devastated my body. I am 11 months out and working out like I'm 30. I lost over 100 pounds and healed up pretty quickly from the operation. If I can do well, so can you.

Everyone is different but I'd put money on the odds that those young bodies are going to do quite well. Elasticity and quick recovery are in your corner.

Use your new life well, young ladies. Conquer your bodies with your minds. We are here to help you if you need it.

      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.
