Hard beginning...back basically back to normal!

[slusher1006 6]

I was sleeved August 1st of this year. A month into it, I got a sinus infection...and it was all downhill from there. I had a post nasal drip. I could feel the mucus running down my throat all the time. I became nauseous basically 24/7. I couldn't eat or drink. I tried... I just threw up, even Water. Then I just started dry heaving. One day I would feel ok, the next horrible. I didn't go to my doctor for that reason. I'm the type of person that likes to fix things their selves. I don't like nothing people with my problems. I just thought I could handle it myself... Get myself back on track.

No such luck. After 3 weeks of basically not eating or hardly drinking....mind you, I wasn't losing any weight because my body was on store mode. I went to the ER, then was admitted. My doctor said I shouldn't even be here. I should be dead. The first 2 days were all tests to see what was wrong with me. Tests=no eating. All the tests came back good. So my doctor had a pick put into me 

In half a day, I started feeling better. And was able to start eating a day later. I was in the hospital for a total of 6 days. I am a wife and a mother of 2 beautiful 9 year olds. School had just started. And my hubby had to so it all. And let's just say...it was pretty new to him lol.

Moral of the story, when u start not to feel good, get ahold of your doctor. It is their job. Last week I had a check up and I am down 41.5 lbs! The 3 weeks that I was storing fat definitely slowed down my weight loss. But I thank God every day for everything he has done!

@@slusher1006 This is so important!!! There's far too many complications from surgery that could occur - you should never try to diagnose yourself OR assume that someone on a forum had a similar issue and they were fine so you must be as well. Glad you're feeling better!!!
