Sleeve & Hh repair 02/15



Recommended Posts

I got sleeved a few days ago and now I cannot hold down anything. No Water or sugar free drinks or popsicles or broth and definitely not Protein. I am on about day 8 of Clear Liquids and still have until the 28th to be on clears. Does anyone have any tips on how I can stop throwing up every thing and get some strength back. I return to work in about 6 days but I dont think it would be safe given I have fainted upon standing twice now. Anyone else have these problems? Ugh

HW: 316

You definitely need to call your surgeon if you haven’t already. Fainting is not normal and could be dangerous depending on what is causing it (could be severe nutritional deficiency, blood pressure etc - but not normal).

You should be able to hold down liquids, so want to get that checked out. Nausea meds could help, but you could have something else going on. If nothing else they can do an IV to get you back hydrated and that might help everything else.

I feel so weak and wobbly then out of nowhere I will be on the floor with my ears ringing. I am supposed to see him on Thursday and really dont want another ER bill. Today I have managed 8oz of mio Water, 2 oz of skim milk and 3oz of plain water. I have sit super still not to regurgitate everything. Is it possible this will just stop after the first week :(

Hate to tell you, but if you are passing out you at least need to call them and tell them. Likely you need to be at the ER. If its a blood pressure thing or certain nutrition deficits you could be risking your life... don’t mess around. I’ve come close to fainting a few times myself and my surgeon said if I did I needed to call immediately.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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