Something in my sleeve....



Recommended Posts

Something is showing up in my sleeve. Doctor doesn't know what it is. Do you? Have you seen these?

They are the swollen ripples in the photo and bile that should not be present.

I have pain in the sleeve, nausea and trouble eating.

If your docs don't know what it is they will probably consult some other docs. Sometimes the consulting ends up here: http://my.clevelandclinic.org/florida/departments/general_surgery/bariatric/default.aspx

The Cleveland Center in Florida is one of the best in the world. My 1rst class surgeon studied there.

At least they found something to work with. I'm sure your dr will find the answer. Is it possible your first, not so nice, surgeon did something wrong? Or do they think it developed post op?

Folds in the suture line? Although I assume your dr would recognise that. Most drs have access to some sort of mentor/senior group and can refer cases for review. Ask your dr if he/she plans to do that ? Or what other steps can be taken.

I had this very question and it's on my list to ask the dr Monday. Creepy!!!! Right! I am also asking if this was seen in my earlier endoscopes. I hope to find some answers.

Part of the Rugae? Part of the fundus left behind?

Darn Vst. The photo isn't working. What is Rugae? I would love to know what this stuff is.

Part of the fundus.

I had my husband look at it... When he was still in school he worked with a gastroenterologist and did lots of scopes.

But I don't know... I do hope they figure it out Sannah and I'm sorry that you have yet one more setback :(

Take care Sannah and give Venla hugs and kisses from that crazy lady Laura.

Happy Mothers Day!!

I hope so as well!! I am feeling bummed and defeated. I was told my sleeve was abnormally small, so it would be weird for any normal parts to be left behind. I am going to ask to be sure. This would be a great solution, because it would mean nothing is wrong. This would be so great!! :) thanks for telling me!! :) a little hope!!

Sannah, why is your sleeve abnormally small? Was it cut that way intentionally? By accident? I ask because I have a similar situation, though in my case it was not intentional.

Hello.

This is a very good question. I have no answers. I no longer see my surgeon. I am going to ask my current dr when I see her Friday after my upper gi. What happened with yours?

When they did the endoscopy, did they biopsy the area?

      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.
