I’m doing better! After I finally had my stent removed and picc line removed I’ve lost about 15lbs. I‘m no longer losing weight . I’m very tired all the time but I’m alive! They keep telling me it’ll be about a year for full recovery. We shall see.
So 12 days post op of my revision from band to sleeve I woke up to a 102.9 fever. Went to ER after talking with my Dr. once I got to ER after blood work I was Being admitted and treated for Sepsis. After more testing I had a leak. I spent 6 days in the hospital had a Stent place in my stomach and the abscess removed. I’m certainly at home on day 3 with a TPN bag. Absolutely nothing by mouth and IV to keep me alive pretty much. I have a very long road to recovery.
It’s been hard. I ended up with a UTI and never in my life felt pain like that. It kept me in bed for two days for meds to get things back to the beginning again. I’m still trying to get protein in and I have no problem with fluids just absolutely no energy at all. None
I’m now 8 days post op from band revision to vsg. It’s been a major wake up call for me on the difference of recovery and wanting food. Just remember to drink fluids and it’s ok to be in pain I wasn’t expecting it to be like how it is . Good luck
Did any of y’all have to go back through all the nutritional visits for 6 months prior or were you able to just get authorization for a revision? Thank you
