wow!!!! talk about a nightmare! i thought my symptoms were bad! im prayin for u! they found a leak in my sleeve week 5 & placed astent in. now im always nauseous. never want to eat or drink!! ahhhh

went to the ER today after throwing up so much. they gave me iv & ran test & i did a swallowtest. my stent is in place & everythings flowing thru. they gave me some zofran for nausea. lord help me!!!

i mean, i was doing good in the hospital so i see why they wouldve sent me home. then again, i was getting round the clock care. they were giving me meds non stop which wouldve had me up & moving. now that im home, of course its less meds & now im feeling the effects of it all.

today was my first day home & i really wish i wouldve stayed in the hospital. i just finished throwing up and its so disgusting & burns so bad!!!! im actually mad that i pushed to go home so bad! i shouldve stayed. this morning i found out my prescription portion of my insurance was not active so i couldnt get my meds until just a few mins ago. when i say nightmare, im talking about nightmare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the acid is like triple & burns so bad that it feels like someone is pouring alcohol on an open cut. i dont wish this on my worst enemy. i just really wish i could go back to normal. this is just crazy!!!! :'(

lol smh= shaking my head

i am home!!!! thank god! i had my own quiet beautiful room from wednesday until today! they brought in an annoying RUDE roommate & i said oh hell no... send me home! lol. well they were going to send me home anyway but i pushed it after i met my new roommate. lol. so yeah, im feeling gassy & pain! the stent is painful & i thought it was a pain free procedure. silly me, right? smh. they r going to remove the stent in 6weeks.

thank u!!

i am still in the hospital. stent is in... & is PAINFUL!!!!!! to me, more painful than the sleeve surgery itself. im soooooooooo over this! i want to go home!!!! i may be starting mushies tomorrow, god willing... pray for me!!!!

thank you everyone!

***********UPDATE************ last night was horrible! my roommate is a bigger woman & she snores like a bear! i was growing agitated with every breath she took! finally i couldnt take it & i called a nurse & begged for another room.. they said they had none. i then requested some benadryl! she gave me the benadryl. i told her there was nooooo way i could sleep with her snoring that way. not only that... she is so loud & 24/7 on the phone! her phone was ringing at 1am & it was so frustrating.. i cant deal. shes making this experience so much worse.

thanks for all the prayers!!!! i love you guys. so heres an update & all my details. i was feeling GREAT these last few weeks. i was able to eat, wasnt feeling weak or nothing! i was able to eat & everything. there was 2x in the past 2weeks where i threw up yellow bile. i contacted my nurse practioner after the first time & she said if it happens again.. let her know! well.. i did. she requested i have an upper gi series. SUPER LONG AND DEVESTATING STORY SHORT...... i came in, had it done, was leaving & bumped into my surgeon who stopped me & told me i had a leak (in the hall way), got a CT scan, called my mom crying hysterical, met with my surgeon & found out that i had 2options. 1. gastric bypass.. ERRRR NOPE! 2. stent with a shot of botox. but he told me i can be in the hospital for 8weeks!!!! WDFFFFFF???? 8weeks? not happening!!!!! i broke down & began crying hystericallly and uncontrollably when i heard this. then he said if i felt better sooner that i can go home. they dont see how i have a leak since i have no symptoms other than yellow bile. im doing GREAT!!!!!! smh. so now, im admitted into the hospital. this is a nightmare come true & im waiting to wake up. they are going to place the stent tomorrow & i guess see where i go from there. as far as one girls go with the nachos comment, as i stated on that post... the nachos basically melted in my mouth & did not cause my leak! my surgeon says he believes food did not cause my leak so im not worried about that!

after feeling great, doing great for the last 2weeks.. i have a friggin leak!!!!!!!!!!!!! dr is admitting me as we speak. im sitting in the ER waiting for a room. ill update u guys on details in a bit

im having the same problem. i been getting numbness & i feel like my inner thighs are a little numb when i walk.

i want soda so bad... so bad! i almost took a few sips today but i chickened out. ill be 5weeks out on tuesday.

yes... im scarred for life.. im terrified of fires & i always have the thought that i will one day be trapped in a fire too. very scary!!!! :/

i am so sorry to hear! march 14, 2003, my house burned down after living there my entire life. i lost everything including 5family members. it was nothing less than a tragedy! i know exactly what youre going thru. i think you should push back surgery until youre more stable & in a better space! good luck to u.

they dont make me throw up cuz i dont put them near my lips but just thinking of them make me dry heaveso i never want to try it. just cant. some ppl are different. my stomach is completely weak. everything turns it. i didnt know it would be this bad til i started my preop diet. i was able to do it in the past but i guess i got so sick of them then that now i just cant anymore.

wow.. you sound like me!!!! im 2 weeks post op. cant do shakes. they REPULSE ME!!!! my energy is soooooooo low. i feel very weak, drained & out of it. i am trying to get Protein in through food but goodness, its hard. wow.. 100% of ur energy didnt return til 4-5months out? thats TERRIFYING!!! when did you feel "normal"?

the good thing is, when u r finally able to "eat" again, there will be nothing wrong with snacking here & there! this surgery will not stop my life & make me "diet" forever. im going to make wiser & healthier choices but i will never fight myself on whether i should take a bite out of adonut. ur small tummy will let u enjoy your bite or 2 of ur donut. somethings do repulse me that didnt before. my mom does her DELICIOUS potato salad that the family loves!!!!! i came out my bedroom & smelled it coming from the kitchen & i gagged!!!! absolutely gross! i pray to one day like the smell & taste but for now, she needs to not make anymore. lol

youre so strong! god bless you!

im crying reading your post because i feel your pain. although im holding down food & liquids, the thought of Protein shakes makes me wants to put my head in a toilet bowl & throw up! im so weak & so discouraged. part of me really asks myself, "what have i done?" :'( im praying for you..

sometimes i get a minor ache here & there in my left shoulder. itll last for a few seconds & then go away but i get scared whenever i feel it.

omg thats scary!!! was the pain in ur left shoulder intense? or was it just a pain here & there?

ouuuuuch! well the good thing is, the "cravings" post op arent crazy! like yes, u would like to but they dont drive u insane or make you turn into the devil if you dont get it. its more of a desire & thought. its mental, not physical. before surgery, its mental, physical, emotional & all that. it wouldve been like taking crack from a crackhead. lol. and its different when u can have it & when you cant. i had food funerals like crazy but didnt go everywhere that i shouldve. i only went to my main favs OVER AND OVER!!! i forgot to add virgin strawberry daq, nachos from cheesecake factory & cheese fries from outback & bread from outback to my cravings!!!! mmmmm

lol i chewed on ice for my cravings! i dont know why i have such cravings. its so funny seeing the difference from stomach cravings & head cravings! now that i dont get hungry, i see my mind had a lot to do with my eating issues!! i craved watermelon so bad & i had it. i made sure there were no seeds and i definitely enjoyed!
