So I’m still at he hospital but no bleed in over 24 hours after stopping blood thinner. Hemoglobin is slowly rising so maybe all will be better tomorrow. Thanks everyone. It’s a little disappointing to have a set back.

So sorry you had complications. I really do know how you feel and want to encourage you not to be discouraged. If they’re keeping you in hospital it’s for the best. Many of us rush to get home after surgery but my daughter was in hospital 3 nights after gastric bypass and for 9 months post op she was sick with vomiting, kidney stones and eventually a complete bowel obstruction that required surgery. Please try to relax and know that if they’re keeping you longer than you expected, it means you need to be there. Better to spend one week in hospital than spend 9 months miserable and back in the hospital. Peaceful thoughts to you.

Had my sleeve in 1/28. So I’m on day 4 post opp. Was finally able to drink a whole Protein Shake. Took me an hour but I did it. I made the mistake of weighing myself and I’m up 15 pounds from Tuesday. I’m walking to get rid of the gas they pump us with but man—when you are sore and the scale goes up it’s frustrating!

Do not get on the scale! You're swollen, pumped full of fluids and air. Let your mind AND body rest and don't weigh yourself for a couple of weeks!

Gastric sleeve on Friday, 1/30, so I'm only 2 days out. Not feeling too bad except for the gas pains. But I've gotten really nauseous to the point of vomitting a couple times, only to have just air come out. I'm talking mouth sweats, excessive saliva, but no vomit. Anyone else experience this? Does it last long? Any suggestions?

You will lose that extra 15 and then some in the next 2wks. Don't sweat it.

I’m from the south- we never know what we will get in winter! The saying is- don’t like the weather then wait 10 min!

Was looking forward to going out and being active today. Made the mistake of putting Carys sf Syrup in my thinned cream of wheat. Abort mission ! Abort! Lol. Currently writhing in gas pain. Never bothered me before.... Lesson learned.

I know this is gross but 1 week out tomorrow and I’m healing nicely- looks bad but it doesn’t hurt!!

Also check out my side by side- left is Monday night after surgery and right is yesterday! All the Fluid is gone! My glasses even got better.
