To my sleeve brothers and sisters on the east coast please be safe and best of luck... My kids and I will be riding out the storm on the south shore of Long Island ... My husband will be working keeping the residents of 1 st pct in Suffolk county safe .....

My B/P has been very low since my 3 rd surgery (cleaning out a staph infection )that the Dr said no coffee or tea that includes decaf . It's s diuretic, so jst be carful and make sure you drink plenty of water..

Hello all, I hope everyone is well. Im sorry I haven't posted hit a huge bump in the road. My sleeve is doing well, but I did have to go back into the hospital for 6 days . I went to the ER with pain in my incision sight and I had a slight fever. Turned into a Staff infection my highest temp was 103.0. I had to go back into the OR for another surgery to clean out the infection. Now I have an opened wound above my belly button.I have a nurse that comes to the house everyday to change the dressings packed into the wound , Its going to be about another 4 to 6 weeks of healing time. I am staying positive and I know I will get through this...oh and alo my B/P is on the low side the Dr's say im not drinking enough water....

Sorry about all the typo's still very tired

Switched over for. Pre- surgical . The firs and second day were the hardest . I did my swallow test yesterday so gross. And I was a bit nauseous . Oh and I had a reaction to some meds I turned bright red I looked like I was sunburned got lots of Benadryl . But for the most part I'm not in any pain oh my clavicle was killing me and I had what sounded lik rice Crispies under my skin ,was told it was trapped air . I was also able to get a cup of Water down I may get broth and Jello today yay me.

????blah couldn't sleep felt like crap had a bit of heart burn , nausea , so I don't ask for pain meds cecause for about 60 seconds I feel like I have to vomit and my mouth watered like crazy so I had to keep swallowing , but I had to take the meds I started to shake because I was so uncomfortable And it's not the surgery sight that hurst the worst I have a folly cath that comes out today and I get a swallow test to see if I can have some ice chips , water oh and talk about dry mouth ????

Ok im offically sleeved my pain scale is about a 7 due to a gas bubble but with meds its a 2 . And i havev wires everywhere . I wasnt able to get to the office for fills the office only has one person that does fills and he only works on Fridays and i was in pain if they put more than 6 cc' of fluids in it , i also started going to the gym and the port hurt wit some of the machines
