I was sleeved 4/9 w/ hernia repair as well. Had constant vomiting. On 5/11 I began having severe pain in my shoulders. I went to the ER 5/13 and within an hour I was in emergency surgery for a perforation in my stomach. (I was leaking in my stomach due to a hole). I was miserable for the first 2 months after my original surgery. Today...I would do it a 100 times over. I feel like I am 20 years old again. It was all worth it.

I am 4 months out now. For the first month I thought it was the stupidest thing I had EVER done. I regretted it, and even begged my husband to put me out of my misery. A month and 2 days after surgery I began hurting really bad in my left shoulder, to the point I could not move. I went to the ER and it ended up I had a tear in my stomach. They did emergency surgery within 1 hour of my arrival to the ER. If you would have asked me during the first 2 months after surgery, I would have said...DO NOT DO IT. YOU WILL REGRET IT. lol...Today, I say, GO FOR IT. The results I have thus far make it all worth it. I would not change a thing. I would go through it all again just to be where I am now.
Good luck to you!

LidiBell reacted to chris1142 in Using Straws - if drink is 0 cal, why can't u August 7, 2014

I was told not to use a straw because you take in more air when drinking with a straw and it can cause some discomfort for you. That being said, that's the only one of my doctors's recommendations that I haven't followed. I have used a straw since about 4 weeks out and found it worked okay for me and let me get in all my liquids a lot easier. I checked back with the practice to make sure I wasn't doing any harm though.

I will be changing for the better. Because who I am now is not who I want to be. And if i dont change right now, i will never be the person i see myself as. I want to be a happy teenage girl. That wont happen until I get this surgery. I am so over weight its depressing. im 16, im young, I want to be spending my teenage years having fun, getting out, and meeting new people. But as of right now im not doing that. i hide in my room, but sometimes i do go out with my friend but i want to do more memorable things with my life before i grow up. I don’t know if its because im not a confident person or because im so insecure about the way I look. I come off as a confident but I hide a lot of my feelings. Even to the closest people in my life. I like being a low key person. I don’t like showing people who I really am because im not even comfortable in my own skin. I love clothes, jewelry, and makeup and everything girls love. But its hard shopping when you are a plus size. You only can shop in a store with plus sizes and only shop in that section, and It sucks. I want to be able to shop everywhere and anywhere with not having to worry if they go up to my size.
I hope to be getting this surgery in November. It will help me and give me confidence and help me to be that person i want to be instead of hiding who i really am. i really want to post my journey with this so i can look back on how much i have changed,

Thank you everyone. I was sleeved 4/9, had to go back into emergency surgery 5/12 for a perforation in my stomach. I was released 6/11 for exercise. Until about 5/20 I thought it was the stupidest thing I had EVER done. I wanted to take it back lol...I was miserable. I could not be happier now. Even after all the bad, it is the BEST thing I have EVER done.
