Recommended Posts

Hello Sleevers,

I am a newby and am having real concerns. My abdomen is so distended and seems to be getting worse. I feel fine, am without a temp, on Clear liquids, and with only mild incisional pain. Can anyone please advise?

It's probably gas but it might be an idea to check with your team.

Thank you for responding. I have only lost 4-5 lbs and am drinking only Clear Liquids. My stomach is very distended, taut but not rigid.

I hope so Kate, is a bit concerning.

Is it possible your weight is dropping so it looks swollen? Do you have a tube in you?

no tube left in, just sleeved.

I'm a week out from surgery and I have lost 6lbs during that week. I noticed today that my abdomen looks larger then before. I have been blaming swelling and irritation from the surgery. If that's true or not I'm not sure, but anywho just wanted to say I'm having the same thing going o with me hopefully it's just one of this things!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
