Hello, I was sleeved October 17th. It has been far from an easy journey. I have been in the hospital more than not because of dehydration, I am still on Clear Liquids. Halloween I had to do a CT scan and found out I have a blood clot in my stomach, in the vein right next to my liver. I was in back in the hospital for 5 days and now home taking it easy and now on blood thinners for at least 6 months. Has anyone else gone through this?

Oh, I'm sorry you've had these complications :(

Let's hope it'll all be up from here. I have seen someone else on the board have a blood clot... wanna say it was near the spleen, not sure. Pretty sure it turned out ok for them.

[Hugs] One day you'll be on the other side of this, and say it was a rough start, but all worth it!

I didn’t have a blood clot but my lung collapsed. I keep getting dehydrated. My dr told me my goal was 3 bottles of sugar free Powerade a day which I’m struggling to do. I just set times I have to have them gone by. I could be doing purees but I haven’t. I’m still struggling so much with the liquids I’m just holding off

      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?
