3 1/2 months in and going very rough[emoji31]



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. My fiancé had the sleeve done May 2, 2017. She is having a very very hard time with recovery. In fact we think she may be worse off then her initial discharge. She has not been able to tolerate food of any kind. No shakes at all !!! This is almost 3 1/2 months later. I'm scared for her. Her main complaints are extreme lower abdomen pain, a lot of vomiting with nausea. She is now in recent weeks able to somewhat hydrate. All her scans we are told are normal. The surgical team has no coarse of definitive action other then a bypass. We have been in and out of the hospital weekly. No other surgeon will even talk to us.

PLEASE PLEASE!!! Can anyone give us any information that could help my sweetness recover?????

Thanks in advance.

You didn't mention what treatments they have tried. A PPI?

Is it gerd? Is it a stricture? Have they done a scope? Etc.

Room temp liquids, or popsicles, or broth? Clear Protein Drinks?

Sorry she is struggling so much.

Not much has been done other than IV fluids with Vitamins. Protonix and Pepcid seem to be all she receives. She has had endoscopes and CT scans. All we are told is normal. No apparent strictures. Could it be GERD or horrible reflux??? As for food she was taking in broth but hasn't been tolerating that well. She is keeping down some Water and coconut water. We were at the ER again last night. Blood work was normal. How can this be??? Imaging show nothing wrong. Labs show not much but lower than normal levels. That is treated with basic IV fluids. All I can say is she is describing pain that sounds excruciating. She is vomiting all the time. Every follow up appointment she was in the hospital. The surgeon did see her.

Thank you so very much. Bless you

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
