My Story Is UNIQUE

That's great!!!! I'm glad it worked out for you.......!!!!

yes honey very normal....mine was severe...even when i got up to do some walking its like it just got worse...i cried and tried to take my pain meds it didnt help... so i used a massage and heating pad with a warm rag on my belly it helped alot....it was my moms idea...my back pain was the worse because they removed my hiatal hernia....the worse ever!! but you should be fine soon it lasted me a full 30 days

put a warm rag or kinda hot rag on ur belly it helps break up gas bubbles and relieves your bowels. gas x is alot of help but i would give the warm rag a twirl!! good luck!! also if having pain in ur back use a heating pad with a massager you will get some sleep!!!

thank you honey!!!

Hello all, I was told by my doctor that my story is UNIQUE!!!!! So I wanted to share with you all.....I don't intend to scare anyone as all surgeries are different for everyone!!! My intial surgery for the gastric sleeve went great!!........Until my stomach took a slight left turn, I was doing everything I was supposed to before and after surgery and didnt even cheat my diet!! I was in my room not for too long after surgery, I started vomitiiing up bile really bad.......then it got worse, it went on for a few days....I stayed longer than the intial 3 days for surgery. My vomiting wouldn't stop, I had pink buckets after buckets and nurses in and out my room duming them, the smell got awful as days went on....finally my mom came to visit for a second time and notice the smell got worse and it smelled like someone had a bowel movement and never flushed the toilet.....well that wasnt the case it was me throwing up my bowels now..!!! technically that's a sign of deaf....so I got scared...!!! the nurses got worried and called the surgeon a.s.a.p and my surgeon came to see me said he would get test and things done on me so we can see whats going on... Come to find out I had a bowel blockage that needed to be fixed pronto!!! My surgeon was great he got everything moving fast after being stuck in my room for a few days and then having a tub down my throat for 3 days finally they give me a second surgery!!! this was his partner who had free hands in the morning to do my surgery for my original doctor since his hands were full until after 8pm, so this doctor did it for me in the am and he did well...I love my surgeon and his team if it were not for them I dunno how I would have ended up... Great news he removed most of my intestines I had alot of scar tissue but this was not from the gastric sleeve, it was from a previous surgery I had before.....So I ended up with a two week stay but Im home now doing GREAT!!! I hope this does not change anyones mind, do what you feel is good for you please dont let my story discourage you!!! by the way my intial surgery was on my birthday July 8th 2013, yeah I think I was very brave!!! and my story is still UNIQUE!!! doctors said they "never seen anything like it"!!!! :wub:

sweetheart im fresh out as of july 8th lol that was my surgery dateand also my 28th bday so im about 2 weeks shy now!! not in my months yet!!

' yes indeed girl!!! we are blessed!!! im so glad you are still here and doing fine, yes that was the most scariest thing that has ever happened to me.......Im glad we are both doing ok now!!!

I have back pain sometimes it gets so bad i cry...but i had a hyatal hernia repaired which is causing the diagram in my back to be sore!!! thats what i was told by my surgeon!! so did u have a hernia that was repaired?

im sorry amanda.....it will not affect my recovery by them removing so much intestines....It actually helped me pass gas because i was not able to do anything if they had not done the second surgery.....Im doing great and im just about 2 and half weeks out I went in on july 8th and came home july 19th......everything is running as it is suppose to!!!

thank you guys!!!! yea itwas bowel obstruction not sure the whole term and exactly what they did but I know he wasn't afraid to remove what he had to so that i would be ok....I'm glad they did the test to find out what they did...yes it was very scary i wish it on no one....I got discouraged a few times but I just prayed harder and harder each day!!! yes we are not suppose to have nsg tube after surgery but they made a exception because it was really bad...i was angry they did it but it saved me from hurting myself even more......thank you for reading my story I appreciate it!
