March 13th had my sleeve surgery. Everything went well. BW -375 SW- 330. I am a little sore but I am so excited.

Oh I feel you my bedroom looks like the closet exploded and all the cloths ended up on the ground now don't get me started on the dishes lol Sent from my SM-T380 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks!

If it is,mild you might be able to get away with a sleeve since you're so young but surgeons usually steer you towards a RnY because with that you don't reflux stomach acid back up. Follow your surgeon's advice he's taken part in more surgeries than me and my not-quite-yet one. I'm satisfied with my own decision. Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app

Of course you're not the only one to go through this. I bet you'd find the vast majority of us on this board have made a bad choice or three pre or post surgery. Beating yourself up feels pretty good sometimes, right? Do you know what feels better all the time? Being your own best friend. What if you tried that instead?

I'm having mine at BMC . I'll get it done. I feel I should be rescheduled to a date sooner since this is a weather thing not a personal cancelation Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I have gotten really good at this water game! Yep I treat it as a game or challenge and it literally starts the minute I wake up! I drink at the least 84 ozs a day. I bring my water bottle with me everywhere I go. If its not in my hand its in my purse. I actually now kind have a mini freak out if I don't have it! I also track my water alongside my food in an app on my phone.

Wow. I would say, call your doctor now. Today. This instant! Seriously. This is not normal behavior. Some things that might cause this are low/high blood sugars or swings, low or high blood pressure swings, reaction to pain meds/anesthesia. Even just having an absence of your coping tool (food). It's normal to have mood swings and episodes of depression, especially after gut surgery. Just messing with the guts can disrupt neurohormones that affect mood. BUT, if you are having idiations of violent rage, you need to be evaluated and to potentially have a med on board. Also, you may be seriously dehydrated. So I would immediately (if it was me--I'm not a professional), start invisioning peaceful scenes, taking super deep, slow breaths, and dumping water into my system as much as my surgery allows. And I would remove myself from the family and lay on cool, sheets with low light and lots of air moving. No loud noises or tv. Maybe low peaceful slow music...but only if it doesn't agitate or annoy.

Your primary doctor is suggesting sleeve or surgeon? Reasons you are struggling? What other health problems do you have besides obesity?
