  1. Because of previous surgeries I had a lot of scar tissue that prevented them from using the stapler at the top of my sleeve. They were concerned about that the whole time but it seemed to have held, unfortunately it didn't stay that way.
  2. Well this will be my last VST entry. My sleeve blew out just below my esophagus, food was leaking into my body and caused a major abcess. Sooo, my entire stomach had to be removed, they did a bypass, so I'm back to square one. Unfortunately, I'm on a temporary feeding tube which is no fun. Also, I went through oxycodone withdrawal, if it weren't for my faith in my Lord Jesus Christ I would have lost it. I guess I'm one of the one percent
  3. Well July 22 I will be 6 months post op. this is not what I signed up for. As you can read from my other blogs, I have had some strange stuff happening.
  4. Sorry but I had my gallbladder out years ago. I'm also running a low grade fever parts of the day. Do have the painful burping, headaches, and tired. I have a surgeon appt in 2 weeks. Also a lot of trapped gas.
  5. I was so glad I had the drain, I did have an infection. I also had a fever.
  6. Up until this point I was doing really good. Now every time I eat my stomach cramps up.
  7. I used I U, Doc. Selzer he was wonderful. Very happy with I U North.
  8. No, I don't have a gallbladder, and I haven't eaten anything different.
  9. Good question, I have one booked for September and was wondering the same thing.
  10. I've been doing really good but in the last week I can't seem to tolerate any food. I keep getting these stomach spasms. At times there really painful. Anyone experience this?

    Im 4 months out and went from a 6 1/2 WW to a 6 1/2 med.
  12. Dr. siatras is the first surgeon I saw, he sent me to Dr. Selzer at IU Bariactric cause I'm facing a pancreas transplant. I really liked him.
  13. No, I had insurance
  14. I actually try and eat 1000 cal a day and I'm losing just fine.

  18. Yes, I got worse instead of better and found I had an infection. Take your temp that's a good indication. Then get to ER, could be a leak too! Prayers with you.
  19. I old eat iceberg lettuce at 3 months out, no problems. Romane lettuce is a little more challenging.
  20. That's what the doc office asked, I can drink 5 to 6 cups a day but struggle with more.
  21. Does anyone have this or know why I'm having these issues? It feels almost like low sugar but I've checked several times and its fine. Very annoying.
  22. T Interesting, thank you!
  23. What are chia seeds and how do you take them?
  24. I think what your describing is what we call foaming. It's. normal and as your tummy heals it gets better. Usually if you eat too fast or portion too big. We all do it.
