In hospital post op n need blood transfusion

[koddie 44]

I thought all was ok but apparently I have low hemoglobin n they insisting I need a blood transfusion. I been here four days and. I hope to go home tomorrow.

Prior to this I had a gastric balloon n me for 7 months and they said it messed up my stomach and the tissue was very hard and tuff so the surgery lasted three hours. And it should of lasted one.

So my advice to anyone. Dnt waste ur time in a balloon. I didn't lose but 10 pounds on it.

Have anyone experienced low hemoglobin and blood transfusion after sleeve?

I kiss my kids and want to be home.

On a good note. I'm able to drink Water and broth no problem.

I'm sorry to hear you are hospitalized @@koddie - I hope you are able to go home soon and feel better. I'm assuming that they have confirmed that you are not bleeding and that's not causing your low hemoglobin? How long ago was your surgery - did they mention if you lost alot of blood during the operation?

I didn't need a transfusion after sleeve, but I did have one after another surgery. It made me feel like Super Woman! It was amazing. If you feel crappy now, you will feel SO MUCH better after the transfusion. Hang in there!

@@KristenLe yes I had a three hour surgery which they said should of been only one hour and I lost a lot of blood. They didn't tell me at first. But my blood count was lows we did do ultrasound and everything is ok nothing bleeding. I had to drink a few sips of Water that made me glow on my insides lol and they tracked it. I'm good.

Overall I feel ok. I'm not having any issue drinking Water. I guess this was my biggest fear so I'm happy
