Dub 9,922 Posted October 11, 2015 well I did it. The dr got in and said that he had to do the sleeve due to my intestines being short to reach. Still kind of loopy but getting stronger staying hydrated is a chore and sore but other than that all seems well. Thanks for the encouragement! I go in Oct 7, for my surgery. Getting the Gastric by pass. Started this ride in Jan and now finally the procedure. I have been experiencing a little anxiety as I get closer to the day but this is what I've been waiting for. Outstanding !!!!!!! I hope all is well, boss. My surgeon advised me of the same probability.......sleeve would be what he'd most likely have to go to after encountering shorter plumbing that would make a sleeve dangerous. I decided beforehand to target for a sleeve from the start. I'm excited. I hope you are adjusting to things and getting your nourishment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StevenL 21 Posted October 12, 2015 Well I'm almost 5 days out and doing great only spent one night in the Hospital, they said I was doing everything right so they let me go home! The first day after I had absolutely no pain. The second day I started experiencing soreness at the incisions I took the pain med twice then I tried Tylenol two times and I am taking nothing now. Weighed this morning and down 10lbs since surgery and when I'm up and around feeling good. The hardest problem I've had is staying up with is the hydration, sometimes it takes me into the evening to get but I will not fail on that item. It seems that smell and tastes are really strong and I have lots of gas moving around in my belly and chest but I seem to deal with that by moving around and walking. So far I've been pulled off my sugar meds and testing to see if I need to take them the same with my blood pressure meds my post op is on Thursday and I will know more. Dub Tall guys with long torso are the one's with shorter intestines .......LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
