Fantail 2 Posted January 13, 2017 I was sleeved on the 21st Dec 2016, on the 23rd I was vomiting and in pain, the surgeon had cut my spleen and I had lost 4.7 litres of blood. More surgery and spleen removed. My problem is I don't know what is sleeve symptoms and what are splenectomy. It has been 3 weeks. I am always tired, hardly eat and break out in sweats. How are/were others after 3 weeks? Not sure how I am supposed to be feeling. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torriluv87 300 Posted January 13, 2017 I was the same way after 3 weeks. I got dizzy really easy and would be close to passing out. I was really weak and could barely leave the house. It was REALLY hard getting fluids in let alone Protein but it got better. I just had to really buckle down and make sure i was holding a bottle of Water at all times. Just make sure your resting a lot. Your body has been through a lot. You lost a lot of blood. Just make sure your resting and sipping that's all that matters. Try really small sips through the day. Hope this helps Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gcarter 50 Posted January 13, 2017 I'll tell you how I'd be feeling. Peed off!!!! Who did your surgery? My gosh that's freightening. Wishing you a very quick recovery hun. God bless you! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fantail 2 Posted January 13, 2017 Yes totally peed off. Now on antibiotics 3 x per day for next 2 years...huge cut from sternum to pubic, adult student and had to drop out of a course I was doing for my degree due to this. He was the head of the surgery department, took a week to get some sort of an apology. The fact they also discharged me when I was complaining of illness. Even worse we live rural, had to call ambulance, took 2 hrs to get to me.....they called air helicopter, flown straight to resuscitation. One big frickin' mess!!

Gcarter 50 Posted January 13, 2017 Wow, that's INSANE!!! I'd be consulting a lawyer that's for sure. So sorry that happened. Will pray for you. Take good hun! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamieLogical 8,710 Posted January 13, 2017 That is terrible! I hope you recovery fully and don't have any long term effects from this. But I agree about hiring a lawyer! Jeez! As for your question, fatigue is pretty common with sleeve. I was exhausted for the first 3-4 weeks at least. Once you progress to more solid foods and can get more calories in, that should help give you a bit more energy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
