Do not put off getting help



Recommended Posts

Hi GUYS,

I WANT TO SAY IM A November Sleever. All went well Nov. And Dec. Mostly. Than I started vomiting up everything I ate and drank. I kept trying nothing worked it got worse and worse. Seems I developed a huge hernia sucked up 3/4 of my stomach. I waited longer than I should have to get help. Ended up in a hospital I did not want to be in for a week tell I was transferred to my Drs. HOSPITAL. Surgery tomorrow night can't wait so tired of feeling terrible starving to death and my hair falling out due to lack of nutrition. Have had 45 lb weight loss but not in a good way. Looking forward to being back to normal. FYI I did have a faulty lap band for 8 years before sleeve surgery. Seem I am my own worst enemy. If you do not think it feels right it probably is not right. Starting over after tomorrow night.

So TRUE!! We can figure out when something isn't right. I'm sorry that you are having to do all of this. My hubby also had the Lap Band and it eroded into his Liver. It was a huge mess and he almost died, it took him 10 months to heal. He had 5 different strains of bacteria in his stomach. It was HORRIBLE!!! He was so sick he didn't even know what he was doing or saying. I am so glad all is well now. He did finally get the Sleeve in June of 2016. (he got sick in Sept of 2013) What a mess!! Good Luck and remember take care of YOU!!!

Sorry you're dealing with that. Any idea why the hernia happened? Hope that everything goes smoothly and you're feeling better.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
