Sleeved then got sick 3 days later?



Recommended Posts

Anyone else go through this? It has been horrible!!!! Up front, thanks for letting me whine and vent.

I was just sleeved on 10/20, Monday. Came home Tuesday, I did have some pain and a ton of gas pains that made it hard to eat or drink anything. Slowly getting better on Wednesday, and then Bam! Thursday I wake up with the worst sore throat, inner ear, head thing ever! I call my surgeon, (1.5 hours away) and they say go to urgent care. That doc says I have some type of viral crud, nothing she could do. Not much coughing, but mostly my throat is so swollen and sore that it hurts to eat or drink anything. Now I have this lovely fever, but not a fever (99.4) where I'm sweating but freezing at the same time, so basically I'm up to my chin in blankets, and anytime I try to stick a limb out to cool off, it freezes. You should see my trying to write this right now. I have been so tired that I've barely been able to get out of bed to do the walking I'm supposed to, and have been sleeping off and on since then. I'm feeling very frustrated right now and mad that I got sick so soon after surgery that I'm not having a good time at all. I know i have to just let it run its course, but seriously?!

Thanks for letting me whine/vent!!

Hey Michael,

How is everything going? I was sleeved on October 20th. I came home from the hospital on Wednesday. Every 2 hours, I get cramping in my stomach. I don't know if I am not eating enough or whats going on. Any suggestions?

The good news is, all the stuff you are supposed to be "eating" now is stuff that should help you feel better! Lots of Water, some Decaf tea and broth!! Gets lots of rest and listen to your body as far as doing walking - I wouldn't force it.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
