Hi, I'm in the Clayton nc area, sleeved on June 14. HW: 221 CW: 150.

I've had a few complications and had to has a ballon dilatation to fix the nausea but I'm doing so much better.

Where are you from??

Merry Christmas!!

[britt2415 17]

Thats great! Youve done really well! I hope I can do the same..I was just sleeved last Friday and had internal bleeding so I had to have another surgery Saturday morning and blood transfusions the rest of the day. Definitely not what I had in mind!! But Ive had some bad nausea as well and Im praying I dont have anymore complications! I live in Wilmington but was sleeved in Pinehurst.

Was the first week or two rough for you?! I keep second guessing whether or not I made the right decision!

Merry Christmas to you too!

Sorry it's taken a bit to respond. Holiday stuff is time consuming!! LoL

Unfortunately complications come with this to some degree. I developed a slight stricture and ha to have a ballon dilatation last week.

It does get better. The first month I had to figure out how to get in my Proteins and fluids without being so sick to my stomach. I use nectar Protein Powder unflavored and I have found it goes in everything!! Yay!

I doing regret a moment of my surgery. Even with the nausea I dont regret it. Try the GNC ready to drink Protein Shakes, they are great and not to thick or overly sweet. Also if you get tired of plain Water mix it 75/25 with apple juice or cranberry grape juice. I don't like plain water so that helps me get my water in.
