my life is miserable since the sleeve

Did they remove your gallbladder? One of the other things my surgeon thought may have been making me sick was a hiatal hernia. I had been tested and tested but because it was a sliding or hiatal hernia they didn't see it for quite some time. Finally after a number of swallows and ct scans they saw it. I am so sorry you are feeling bad. Hopefully, if they are not seeing anything you are just having a tougher and slower time with healing and will be feeling better in a matter of days or weeks. Do you have someone to help advocate for you with the hospital and doctors?

Glad they r finding the problem and fixing the issue. Just take it one day at a time. It is different for everyone. So the best advice I can give u is take it slow. And I hope u feel better soon

Well here is an update I have been admitted four days now done an xray with barium showed the barium went down okay, had a ct came back normal, and did another endoscopy which came back okay last thing I did was a abdominal sonogram which shows my gallbladder full of sludge and gallstones so im doing another surgery take out the gallbladder and to physically look at the scar tissue on the sleeve. I heard that loosing to much weight can cause the gallbladder to get stones I dont know if thats true

Sounds familiar. I had issues at 3 weeks out - couldn't drink/eat anything without nausea. Got very dehydrated. Went to the ER and did all the testing and it was my gallbladder. Took it out and my recovery was much better! Hang in there!

I mean before I started

I can't comment on what to eat, but you have had a very rough road and should NEVER feel like a failure. You have conquered everyone's worst fear and are on the road to recovery. I am certain you will see the results you are looking for.

This process is about getting healthy and it sounds like you are doing that. Weight loss is part of the process so I am certain you will see those results soon.

When I had the leak, I was on IV feedings for a month then had to start my food progression from the beginning. I would ask your dr before you go home to be sure. Good luck! So glad you're doing better!

I also gained weight, but it comes off quickly. You are NOT a failure.......this is just a bump in the road to victory! Hang in there.
