@atkins I had a great surgical team, the experience was no where near what I expected.. My abdominal area was full of gas immediately after surgery but a few walks up and down the hall and it subsided.. They give you great meds to deal with everything else besides the drain you will feel almost normal the next day and better every day after.. It wasn't a bad experience .. Sip a lot so you stay hydrated and walk as much as you can

And thanks to you all for the well wishes????

The whole Mexico experience was wonderful, no fears and no worries.. I will never forget the care and hospitality.. I have never experienced that here in the states... Will be one week post op tomorrow and I'm doing very well minus the dumping syndrome but i think I've found the culprit ..sugar, won't have anything with more than 3 grams of sugar in it...good luck to everyone else.. Remember walk, sip and walk.. Lol .. Oh how could I forget the worst part of it all is the drain you have to have a few days .. Otherwise not bad at all

I was sleeved on march 27th and I feel wonderful with the exception of dumping syndrome but I think ive found the culprit and I'm feeling 100% better. I'm starting creamy soups no chunks along with full liquids today as instructed by my nut.. Im not gonna have any food until day 22. I've heard of people going back for post op check up and having food in there staple line wich can cause a delay or difficulty in the healing process.. I'm not gonna take that chance.

My nut said it was fine but to use a non dairy creamer and to wait until ur 6-7 days post op

Thanks jimmy will do

The non dairy creamer has 5 grams of sugar but I'm gonna take everyone's advice and introduce things one at a time.

Seannie, I just started protein shakes yesterday, that maybe it as well.. Ugh I'm very nervous drinking herbal tea and water until I figure this one out.. Glad someone understands what I'm going thru.. Thanks

You don't wanna know, have you ever had the stomach virus.. Cramping,nausea,diarrhea, bloating...everything you get w a stomac virus minus the fever

Ok I just checked on the mayo clinic website and it specifically states that there's a small chance that dumping syndrome can occur

I just read somewhere that sleevers should not get dumping syndrome, I will have to speak w my doctor for sure..

Sleevers, do get dumping syndrome it should be mild but temporary... I wont be able to speak with my surgeon until Monday

Nothing unusual, I started drinking coffee the doctor said it was ok as long as I used a non dairy creamer, I used a non dairy creamer French vanilla maybe that's it..ugh

You may be dehydrated, a woman that was sleeved same day as me had the sane exact symptoms 3 days post op. Doc said age was dehydrated gave her an IV.. Hour and half later she was 100% better

I'm having surgery on Tuesday and I'm feeling nervous too.. Lol I guess being nervous is normal, I'm not thinking about what I won't be able to eat instead im thinking of how I will be able to control how much of what I eat. Good luck to you on Monday

That's great I just read an article about that .. It's the latest technique ., congrats

Good luck Caradina????????
