Strange issues after sleeve surgery anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi just was curious about a few things that I have been going on since surgery. One thing after surgery it was all great till I lost like 45 pounds. Then all of the sudden I got stasis dermatitis on my legs. Then my urine looks green like every few weeks but they say my kidneys blood work is great. Does anyone else have anything weird going on. As of today I am 79.6 pounds down. Hope nothing elese pops up.

I was curious about the green pee, so this is what I found:

There are several possible causes of green urine. Urinary tract infection is the most common, and the urine may appear darkened or cloudy. It may not appear green or may take on a greenish tinge. True green urine is rare and most commonly results from dyes or food colorings or from certain medications.

Is it only happening when you are up walking or are you do something when it hurts? If it feels like muscle pains like you did 300 situps. It is probably just your muscles healing back that they cut thru. That's my opinion at least

Same sort of thing happened to me around 1 week post op. My doc said it was from the shots/deadening medicine they put in my abdomen wearing off. Plus the tissue that was cut thru was healing. I continued to have significant pain on my right side Cuz it was the largest incision where he removed my tummy. Just take it easy and it should pass!

I've heard that tastes can change after surgery. What are you eating when you experience the foamies/sliming? I get that when I eat too much and/or too fast.

Sliming is when you eat too much/too fast and food gets stuck and your body produces saliva to digest,but it has nowhere to go, so it builds up on top of the food. Eventually, you just have to spit it up. It's gross, but it does happen to some. It's happened to me several times, but I tend to eat fast.

Candy what is sliming?

sliming is like an overproduction of thick saliva/mucus it's really gross foaming is similar except it's bubbly spit in your mouth many ppl day it comes from eating too fast and/or too much however ive experienced both during times when I haven't eaten a thing so idk the exact cause

Green pee - are you eating asparagus, green Beans, etc. How about drinking Crystal Light lemonade? These combos cause it for me.

Lap-banded and love it!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
