I am 4 wks out from surgery unable take protien in any form getting very little fluids in i cannot eat anything without wanting to vomit. I had complcations from internal bleeding & kidney failure due to blood loss. I wish i had never had it done i am sick of being sick. Please those of you considering surgery to look very carefully at all poss.complcations. i am very disgusted with my results i have no strength, stamina, nothing & i will not till i can take in protien which is impossible. Good luck if you decide to go through with it

you need to call your surgeon ; He or she may want to do testing to evaluate you.

I had a bad case of hypoglycemia after eating some pasta, turns out to be reactive hypoglycemia anybody else have or had this problem ?

yes. its pretty much the same thing.

sorry to here that I know the feeling closest WG is 50 miles away from me, keep an eye on ur symptoms call ur Dr. if they persist or get worse could be from several things.

you might try Pro-NRG can be found at Walgreens 4 oz protein water 15g protein , you definitely need fluids to prevent dehydration if you can alternate water with your poweraide . do you have a history of diabetes or hypoglycemia?

I have still have sour stomach but it has been better the last couple months I take zantac ( ranitidine) & prevacid ( lansoprazole) daily both are over the counter & I found that certain liquids made it worse than others even bottled water. check with his Dr. about the meds I hope he improves .

I believe I'll have strawberry!! My starting weight was 400lbs I am at 198 now my fly. says enough already my dr. wants another 30 or so off I'm happy with it now but wouldn't mind a little more off

Finally a yr post op I have been able to eat & drink for about a 6 wks now without any problems. Will be a year next month down 200lbs started physical therapy this wk trying to recondition my body. I just pray things keep going well it has been such a difficult & trying road I hope its all behind me now. Don't ever give up. there where two times over the past 11 months I believed I was going to die so did my family & friends but im still here & improving by the grace of God.

thanks DB Godbless

thanks DB I pray & thank God everyday for anything I am able to eat or drink & the many blessings I receive everyday. Thanks & God bless

Initial surgery was Oct.17th last yr

Hi not a problem; After I had surgery I developed a pouch on my remaining sleeve due to excessive post-op vomiting I had internal bleeding & kidney failure. over the next 5 months I was unable to drink or eat. i had to have exploratory surgery to repair the pouch 3 months after initial surgery then a month after that I had to have gallblader removed which had to be done with incision instead if scope. I vomited for 5 months every day all day had a feeding tube for 4 months of that. I lost 200 lbs in 10 months. total of 4 surgeries numerous hospitalizations & countless ER visits. feeding tube was removed about 6 wks ago have neen eating & drinking well for about 3 wks now . Thats my story

Thanks Carlotta

no should be no problems down the road if your not having any now. I just had complications post-op which caused more issues over the last several months

thanks

doing alot better past few wks, have been able to eat & drink for few wks now started PT this wk to recondition my body after being down for so long things are looking up.

I hope things improve for you soon i am now 5 months out i have a feeding tube now for about 3 wks it has helped alot. I have been able to eat small amounts for about a wk for first time in 5 months i have lost 120 lbs in 5months ( not recommended ) lol: i had nothing but problems after the surgery; again i hope you see some improvment soon good luck.. lux

Popcicle. I know what u r going through the endoscopy the dr spoke of is where he puts a camera down into your stomach to c if there are any strictures or deformity or poss irritation in your stomach. Dont hesitate to go back to your dr everyone will tell you its going to b ok but they do not know what you are going through you know your body you know how you feel . If ya cannot tolerate fluids you will need further testing

Thank you

Thanks ya'll

Hopefully it will clear up soon. Thanks for all your prayers & thoughts godbless
