I ended up back in the hospital due to a blockage that wouldn't let the gas pass and it put me in alot of pain to where I couldn't do anything.. Finally they decided to try a suppository and after 40 minutes it actually worked and ohhh was I relived but then I was now having bloody stool so now I'm being monitored all night to make sure I'm not bleeding inside!! I just wanna go home and join my wife.. Nothing like taking this journey together and now were separated and she's doing it on her own!!

Will keep you posted and hopefully I will go home tomorrow

I had my surgery on Monday and due to a blockage I was passing bloody stool and they have now stopped the Heprin shots cause they believe I'm bleeding inside!! If stopping the shot doesn't work I will have to have a blood transfusion!! Then who knows what after!!

However my pain is not bad , actually feelings great and my wife is doing excellent and is now not a patient but is staying here with me at the hospital!!! Will keep ya posted.. Just wanna go home so I can begin my journey with my wife !!

T-T, I hope stopping the shot stops the bleeding, praying for you. And all the power to your wife, she's a keeper. After I was released all I wanted to do was go home and rest. Prayers for both of you. I had my incision bust open 2 weeks after my surgery and wouldn't stop bleeding, it wasn't gushing, just kept bleeding. Had to change bandages like every two to three hours. I had to go back to dr and have them cauterize it but it finally stopped. And like you I have had no pain. Good luck to you again.

      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.
