Feeling badly 4 days after sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

Hi! I had sleeve surgery on Monday afternoon and was feeling OK until today. Now I'm slightly nauseated, have a mild headache, feel bloated and have almost no energy. I've been following my doctor's post-op instructions. Is this morning? Thank you!

I was fine the first week and then this week I’ve been tired a lot. Like can’t funtion tired. I’m 10 days out still on liquids. I even fell over and slammed one of my incisions on the corner of a cabinet knocking it open. Dr said it was all normal. If your feel way to unnormal please call your surgeon.

Thank you Nataliesmom. I did call my surgeon's office today and they didn't seem overly concerned since I'm not running a fever. Just hope this stage passes soon. Pam

I was sleeved Monday.

Purely on liquids and puddings. Had a large hiatal as well, I feel pretty good. Definitely some bloating and a tiny bit of stomach pain (short lived) after eating too much.

Other than that a decent amount of abdomen pain

I didn't have a lot of pain post-surgically, but I was completely tired and without energy for at least a month. Now, at 2.5 months out, I'm still easily tired, despite sleeping fairly well. And I keep running into stalls--or maybe my loss has just slowed a great deal. I have faith that this will work in the long run, though. No matter how I look at my loss so far, it's still greater than at any other time in my life, and I know it's not done.

Hi Pam, I had surgery October 30, 2017. My first day post-op was horrible. Pain cross my chest and spasms all day. Dr. Wanted to keep me an extra day. I should have listened. Trying to keep up with the liquids was very hard. I also was drained no energy x about 2 weeks. I was started on soft diet on Tuesday and can't seem to eat much. Dr says it's normal x me. I've had the lapband, revision and finally had to be taken out in January. He said I have scar tissue and expects it to be tight. Hope you recover quickly.

      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?
