Well, hello Divanurse!!!!!!! My name is Ann... I love hearing people's stories after surgery... I think more of us should do this that have had complications with this weight loss surgery!!!! I have had a TERRIBLE time also. I'm not being negative to anyone wanting to have this surgery!!!!! But, I think it's good for people to hear!!!!!!!!!!! I had my sleeve done dec.31. Iv lost 55 lbs so far, yes, that sounds great, but Iv had a terrible time. My surgery went good, I also had a hernia fixed, witch I have never had issues with.. My first two weeks were great.. Didn't have much pain at all.. By the third week I noticed how hard it was to eat it or drink Water and ice chips... I let it pass for another two weeks, still no better.. Went to dr. And he said nothing was wrong also have had BAD constipation..... I ended up in hospital because my esophagus was narrowing and it had to be dilated open ... I was in hospital for three days... I'm still getting lite headed and dizzy ... My Constipation was still very bad... I tried everything .. Called my dr. Alot and told them, they just get plenty of fluids and take stool softener.. So, last Tuesday I went to dr. And told him in person, needless to say , I can't really walk at this time, I had so much pain and pressure.. He told me to go home and do a enema, I did... That made my pain worse.....so the dr. Had me admitted last Tuesday night at hospital... I just got home last nite!!!!!! So for a whole week I was in the hospital having over 10 enemas three colonoscopy and a scope down my throat .. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy...????????????I finally got cleaned out and now I have hemroids and a ulcer from all that.... I was also told I know have a problem with swallowing and it's still too hard to eat ....... I'm not upset because I had the surgery, I'm only 8 weeks out, I still have to heal, I wish he never would have messed with my hernia..... But, it's done with now, can't be upset about the past, I'm getting stronger and will move on...... But, you know, it's good to put your story out there for other people to hear and learn from!!!!!????????

WOW, it's nice to hear people who are from my home town!!!!!! Born in ft. Wayne , iN dec. 1970... I'm now living in Texas... I really miss home!!!
