I'm having a hard time adjusting



Recommended Posts

hey everyone. I new to the sleeve community. My surgery was on the 23rd of June 2016. I was experiencing so much pain and nausea when I came out of surgery that morphine did not work at all. I've notice a lot of muscle spasm in my legs. I do walk every hour around my apartment for 5 to 10 minutes. I also had to go back to the emergency room yesterday because my mouth was extremely dry and it trigger my anxiety and panic attack because i didn't know what was going on. I felt as if i couldn't take a shallow and it freak me out. I started having the regrets of this surgery and my doctor told me this is common to have. I go see my doctor tomorrow, but the Water intake has been so hard bc I become so full. Plus every time I intake liquid my stomach does this painful spasm. Can anyone comment and any positive advice is appreciated.

The first time I took a sip I had a stomach spasm. The issues was the cold Water, it felt like daggers.

Are you having spasms with all Water temps? I had to drink room temp or warm drinks for a few weeks.

I was also sleeved on June 23rd. Sorry you have been having pain and nausea. I have a nausea patch behind my ear a d have never felt sick. My pain has been my belly where incisions are but feels better today.

I had a couple of spasms and Dr told me they are normal. Stomach is trying to adjust. Try taking some deep breaths to relax. When you sip just take in enough to wet your mouth before swallowing. You can increase as you go.

Let us know what doc says.

      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?
