Gastric Sleeve surgery done on 1/16/18



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

Came home yesterday after spending the night at the hospital. Today was quote painful especially on the incision site ..which am assuming is normal. My question for the forum is that..I didn't have any has pains and I have not had a bowel movement. Is that normal? And I've not been able to consume the 4 oz every hour as requested. Anyone else going thru the same?

Congrats! On your surgery! I was having the same problem with the Water intake as well and i still have not been able to drunk the required amount as of yet and I am 2 wks post. Bowel movement will come maybe 3 days of being home I was required to take Mirlax to assist with the process since I was not eating food but rather on the liquids.< br>

FOR THE BEST!!!![emoji173][emoji173][emoji173][emoji173]

Hi, surgery was 1/12. My first bowel movement was after 4 days. I can only drink 2 ounces every 3-4 hours. Have lost 15 pounds. Good luck to everyone!!!

I know it’s hard but drink that Water. I passed out yesterday and had to be taken to the ER by ambulance. I was dehydrated with a very low BP. My surgery was 1/18 and today I had my first watery BM.

How are you doing now?

How are you doing now?

I’m doing better, but it’s still a struggle to get all my liquids in. I’m getting about 11 oz Water, two popsicles, and 8 oz of Protein Shake. I don’t have much pain around the incisions, but I do have pain from drinking water. And walking up stairs takes every last bit of energy I have. But on the bright side, I took a shower!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
