Starting weight 320lbs Surgery date: Dec 14th 2011 Current weight: 223lbs Height: 5'5

Need someone to relate to here in my boring town!

I'm almost to my one year mark, I've hit a stopping point can't get the weight to come off. Still 100 lbs from goal! But now I think I might be pregnant! What do I do!

The doc did an ultrasound said no abcess and gave.me antibiotics said.fallow up w.my.doc.n.a.few days

At the er, finally got a hold of a friend to come take care of kids

No.fever

My parents are out of town their dad isnt in their life. I have no one

the antibiotic is an extra one i got from my doc after my surgery i just mixed it today and i want to go to er but i have both my kids and no sitter so i have no one to watch my kids so i have to wait till tomorrow to go... im stressing now

My one incision where my drain was hurt sooo bad and this morning i was like what am i supposed to do it hurt so bad, well i was looking at it and you may be grossed out but i took the scab off to see if it was infected well once i did that i saw that it seemed like there was white underneath the part that seemed to be healed so i opened it up and it was filled with pus. i squeezed pus out for a good min till it finally because bloody. it hurts so bad and i keep cleaning pus out today. i dont understand how it got infected i have been cleaning it and taking care of all my incisions. i donno what to do, i got some more antibiotics and started taking those again but im really worried. should i got to doctor tomorrow. cause i dont know how deep the infection goes. has anyone had this happen?

Can i drink diet coke im 13 days post op

I didnt even smoke a full cig it was just a question

Oh and btw.... I follow my post op diet to the T

My doctor didnt say s**t to.me saw me maybe 5 min after my surgery.. And yes he knew i was a smoker. And yes u actually came across rude n my opinion... But whatever. I was just asking a question. I got my answer thanks

I was told it can blow a hole n my tummy from the.nicotine

Does anyone smoke after being sleeved. Im 9 days out n having a really hard time i took maybe 3 drags and then felt bad so put it out but im so depressed right now i just want to finish it... What do i do! How bad is it to smoke this soon or at all after surgery

Still in a bit of pain. I still have my.drain in which sucks, im hoping and praying i get my drain out tomorrow. hoping they do blood tests.too not feelin.to hot

How much Water are we supposed to be drinking a day, and what Vitamins or when r we supposed to take.vitamins? Im days 5 after surgery. N my potassium is super low! Can i have poweraid? I need to know how much juice water chicken broth whatever i need... Also can someone describe to me how they know they r full

I ended up in er tonight, my drain started coming out, the pain is insane. Docs r leaving it in, said im still draining to much. Did blood work, said my potassium is down, so now i have to take potassium suppliments. Has anyone else been sent home w drain, im sick to my stomache all the time, in mass pain, the er doc said my drain is stitched into me, but dr huacuz said just pull it out, ic i just pull it out itll rip my skin. Not excited for that! Anyone have similuar experiance

Yeh that line was pretty epic wasnt it! Glad u made it home safe, the plane ride was killer w all the turbulance. But yeh im goin to get ahold of a doc tomorrow, my drain was super full this morning, i slept on my tummy last night tho. But i was sittin at breakfest drinkin tea watchin my fam eat my fav breakfest food... Taco omelets lol n hashbrowns n sasage n looked at my drain and its leaking out side the tube into my bandage

Whats the deep breathing exercise

I was told NO PILLS what so ever, also i dont have sleep apnia, or w/e lol i donno what was goin on i kept tellin my bf no i dont want to breath it hurts to much, once i was fully awake i had prob 10 blankets and my bf nxt to me cauae i was so cold.

Dr huacuz did my surgery, i didnt have very good post op treatment, my boyfriend said after.surgery they just put me n as room and left, i quit breathing multiple times and nurses nvr came in my boyfriend kept yellin at me to breath. Then we had to remind them about meds n saline and all that good stuff. It was a bad experiance, but i got what i paid for. Also my mom is worried because they have let me take a shower every day shes afraid ill get infection. Dr said i can have chicken broth juice tea Water right now anything thats clear. And im always hungry i nvr feel full even after i drink juice... Do i need to measure 2oz or what should i do?

Hey everyone! I was sleeved on the 14th in tijuana mexico, and i got home last night... Im still in alot of pain, they left my drain in so when i went to san diego airport i got molested lol. They sure dont know how to be gentle. But anyways im really scared now i didnt get much info on post op diet or anything. It hurts to breath deep. Im extremly uncomfortable. I donno what to do... Help?
