katt1584 46 Posted February 26, 2014 So I have been released from the hospital on my second stay after surgery. On Saturday I was unable to eat or drink due to nausea. I was admitted to the hospital and given fluids then sent home to do at home infusions of "TPN". Has anyone been on a TPN infusion to speed up recovery and did you experience weight gain or a slowed weight loss? I got surgery to lose weight dammit!

2013sleevegirl 126 Posted February 26, 2014 Hit send too early. I was on tpn for 3 weeks. I could not eat or drink during that time. I had a leak and they were trying to let it heal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katt1584 46 Posted February 26, 2014 I am having some issues with swelling that are causing my nausea when I eat. They are hoping this will give me enough to heal. I just have read it can cause weight gain and since every post bariatric patient is concerned about that I thought I'd ask...did you experience normal weight loss on TPN? Also is everything okay now? No leak? If you don't mind me asking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
