Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I am new to the app, I had my surgery 3/26/18. I don’t know about everyone but I have been having complications within my first week. My pain in unbearable, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat ( not even my liquids, Vitamins and can barely keep down water!) has anyone else had these problems?

WELCOME and call your surgeon!

Some people just have a rough start, but you call the office for some follow up to be sure.

I have contacted my dr, I also have a best friend who has had the sleeve for over a year. She told me she didn’t have pain or discomfort this amount of time either. I’ve been googling a lot of things, but it’s frustrating feeling this bad after a week. I’m suppose to be on soft foods and I can’t even tolerate drinking Water without pain

MiltonP my Dr’s nurse actually called me, she took more information the second time and she said it sounds like im severely dehydrated, I should be able to take in more liquids and tolerated my Vitamins. She said she’s going to tell my surgeon but they are thinking of admitting me back into the hospital for a few days!

I had my sleeve 3/23 and haven’t had much pain. Mainly one incision that was longer than the others has been uncomfortable. I do feel some gas after drinking some liquids and feel the need to burp but no intense pain. I am ready for more than liquids. I hope you get some help soon!

Betcha that's the incision they pulled your stomach out through, that one always heals slower and stays tender longest. When I had my tubal ligation I swore my navel would never heal up and it itched. Used to rub it with a Q-tip. Funny hadn't thought about THAT for years![emoji12]

@frust8 I was thinking that was the one they pulled the stomach out. They definitely itch and I scratch before I realize it. Qtip is a good idea!!

All of them look really good though. I have no complaints. I’m just tired of liquids!!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
