  3. Thanks guys I'm going to take a shower if I didn't have two young children I would have called already. I'm trying to stay calm they know I have to go but they don't know how bad it really could be and I want it to stay that way I'm trying to get a hold of a friend to help. I will keep you posted

I will keep you guys posted! Thanks for reaching out to me my name is Lindsay btw
  5. I do!my hospital is about 15 away and your right I have felt neglected. My surgeon just forgot that I was already on antibiotics I just tried to make it up my stairs and I'm weak and out of breath my hubby gets off work at 830 so unless I start dying I have to wait until he gets here so I can go up!
  6. You are so right!! The nurse just called me back and said I need to call my family physician. So now I will have to pay copayment and watch they will say its from my stomach
  7. My stomach is still swelled. I just called dr cause my throat feels swelled up. I still feel very sick especially when taking meds. Thank you for the prayers I need them and mine go to the others having issues too! Thanks for checking
  8. Man I'm having the opposite problem and my hems are hurting and bleeding grrr
  9. Hi Make sure that you get all your dr.s to give notes to insurance it will help you case go quicker!! My throat seems to be swelling right now it's feels funny so maybe I should back off trying liquids. I feel better as long as I don't try to drink anything. They want me to keep trying but I think I need to back up. Good luck getting your date!!
  10. Actually I'm with dr. Carey brown
  11. Jcjoy you live where my family is ;0) good luck!! I had mine in the first and I'm already down 20!
  12. Hi I'm in Middletown rt now had it done at Kettering maybe we can get together or just chat on here. I just had my surgery on the first I started at 326 and I'm down to 305. But my stomach swelled shut so I'm on iv nutrition and can barley take meds or drink water or anything liquid. How about you.
  13. Hi was wondering if anyone from Ohio has had the sleeve surgery. My name is Lindsay I'm 30 yr old I have a husband and two children and I have only been heavy for about 9 yrs, I blew up after having my daughter in 2003. I am dealing with complications after surgery. The night after my surgery my stomach swelled shut leaving me not able to drink or eat. I know have a pic line and iv nutrion with no date to get off. Anyone else out there have this happen?
  14. Imworthit you can do it I was so scared but all you have to do is get to the hospital they will help from there!!
  15. Hi my name is Lindsay from Cincinnati area oh. My surgery was oct 1st I'm three weeks tomorrow and the day after my surgery my stomach swelled shut. I have been on TPN (iv nutrition) for three weeks. I can try to sip water up to full liquids but can only sip cause I throw everything back up or get very nauseated when I try. Go back in two weeks maybe they will be able to open me back up. But it has been good for me to learn that food isn't the answer to stress and it has made me find other ways to cope.
  16. Hi guys my name is Lindsay. Tell her it's not going to be a easy rd but she will get through this step and she will be ok. Just be there to help her because it is not easy and she will defineltly need encouragement!!!!
  17. Thank you I'm just having a hard time cause of feeling sick all the time!!! I go back nov 1 so I will see if the stretch it open would be nice.
  18. Make sure you tell the dr if things do not get better!!!
  19. Make sure to ask the dr if its possible your stomach has swelled. Maybe going back down to full liquids will help.
