I am a registered nurse and when I was in nursing school years ago, I actually saw dr Ingram perform a lap band and gastric bypass in the OR during my rotation in clinical. She did fabulous job..my date in aug 6th..with dr trevedi from St. Peter's...feels like forever away but this chat is so helpful. There's alot on here that I wasn't told about so I am greatful I found it! Can't wait for my date to be here already!

Happened to me, use ur respirex (the thing that u suck air out of to make the ball move to expand ur lungs) ur temp will go down. Also the arm thing Happened to me it got red and almost rashy. It went away after 12 hours or so didnt end up being anything. They said it was from meds or anesthesia... I'm 6 weeks post op now and had no problems with arms since then. Although deff show the nurses encase its something like a blood clot.

I am sensitive to sugar. IV dumped twice so far on Gatorade and Powerade both times. I got awful stomach cramps, extreme lightheaded, heart was racing and I felt like i couldn't breath I was so warm. Only lasted about 5 mins but I will tell you in those 5 mins I thought I was dying. Luckily no vomiting just the other end. My nut it
Says it was deff dumping and says g2 is fine but I'm afraid to try it! Blah!

Yes ESP on left side. Still hurts too!

Hey everyone I had my sleeve done 6th as well. I came home last night and have been doing fair. I am so sore still on the left side of my abdomen and find it hard to stand up straight or deep breath. Anyone else with this? Also trying to take in fluids as best as i can but Its difficult! Did they tell u how many ounces a day of Water we should be having? I was quite groggy while I saw the nutritionist and now I'm having a tough time remembering. I love this app and so happy to have everyone to talk to. Anyone else have a drain? Mine comes out next Thursday I can't wait ! I do notice I'm very bubbly gassy and crampy everytime I take sips of anything I can feel it actually go through my stomach. Very strange I hope it passes.

Wow that's great. I'm having a tough time getting even my little medicine cups full of Water and yogurt in. I'm not nauseas just very crampy. I can hear my stomach noises from a mile away.

Thanks so much! They had me at clears for only one day now I'm full liquids for next two weeks. I am glad this feeling is normal because I was getting nervous something was wrong. Couldn't figure out why I feel so crampy!
