Hi everyone! This is my first post. I just got sleeved on Thursday by Dr. Feiz down in Huntington Beach California. I've already had complications and was sent back to the hospital Sunday morning and have been here since. Supposedly I have a cyst in my stomach that is combining with the swelling and preventing anything from getting in. :(

I'm so helpless and worried now. Praying things will get better soon.

I did lose two pounds though!

Thank you! I have an upper gi test today to see if I could finally have some liquids again or not! Never wanted a liquid diet more than I do now lol

Wishing you luck from Florida here to. I hope they resolve this soon so you can continue with your journey. Did they do an endoscopy before your surgery? If they did it would have been found.

They did but I was never told about a cyst. Just told I had a pancreatic pouch

I had my surgery on Friday the 6th, and aside from the expected soreness, the only thing I can complain about is this lump at the bottom of my throat. I've tried warm liquids and popscicles, but nothing affects it. I'd feel pretty darn good if it would go away.

I'm sorry they didn't find the cyst prior to surgery, as it would have seemed logical to have removed whilst they were in their the first time. I also had my gallbladder taken out as well as repair of an old Hiatel hernia.

My doc said when he found it he biopsied it but the position of the cyst, taking it out now would make my stomach too narrow so he kept it in :( have you talked to your doctor about your lump to see if there's anything they can do

I had my sleeve on the 5th as well. No issues thus far however I am starving. I am hungry. I thought that the sleeve was also suppose to remove the hunger feeling.

Hope things are getting better with you... Had my surgery in the same hospital. Had some trouble bouncing back from surgery as well. But ultimately with the right attitude, lots and lots of patience, and with Dr. Feiz's guidance I finally got well.

I guess we are the bottom small percentages that have complications and longer recovery time. I'm at point in my journey where I'm finally out of the tunnel, and hoping you're at least seeing the light. :-)

That's awesome that we have the same surgeon. I'm still recovering and only on liquids but at least I can keep most my liquids down now lol. When did you have surgery?

      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.
