    I was sleeved on March 3rd ans my weight loss has stalled. I've been told if you don't get your protein and water in you won't lose. So today I am going to work really hard to get it in and see what happens

    Madmax--my weight loss started out super slow. When I picked up my protein it improved. Sleeved 3/3 I have lost 21 lbs so far. (Including preop liquid diet)

    I ended up having lapband to sleeve revision on March 3rd. Best decision I ever made. It took 3 hrs and doc said I had a ton of scar tissue but he pushed through. I'm so glad he did it all in 1 surGery. I really feel like if anybody else had done my surgery they would have done the removal only. 20lbs down so far !!

    I started having the same thing yesterday!!! I am not even a week out of surgery! I ended up going to the ER because it jumped up to 140 by the time I got to the ER it was normal. They didn't find anything wrong!

    Scared

    kaninag replied to amyecpa's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had a similar situation yesterday and I am glad I found this thread. I was just sitting on the couch yesterday watching TV and my heart rate jumped up. When I checked everything my BP was 78/40 and heart rate 140. By the time I got to the ER my surgeon was there. No leak and all labs looked fine. I don't have the reflux and I know its not anxiety but at this point we don't really know what the problem is.

    Bp was 78/40, hr 140. But everything normalized. They checked me for leaks just in case. No infection, wasn't dehydrated. Got to go home. Feel ok today.

    Sleeved on the third. Went home at 4 that afternoon. My husband says I was in a lot of pain when I woke up. My surgery took 3 hrs because I also had my lap band removed. For some reason I have been the most sore on my left side. Everything else ok. No nausea. Gurgling at times. Worked 2 hrs yesterday which ended up being a bad idea. Made dinner last night other than that I have been a couch potato. I get to start full liquids tomorrow. Yay!

    Well, had surgery Tuesday went home around 4pm. Drain removed next day. Tody just sore. But it took them 3 hrs to do about an hr and 45 min surgery. He said I had a slip and tons of scar tissue....I may have posted this already. If so I apologize. Wonder if I can submit that to insurance for possible repayment whether it's partial or not I don't care.

    Surgery went fine yesterday. Very sore today. I was private pay. But the surgeon said my band had indeed slipped....so shouldn't I be able to contact the insurance company and submit a claim? Surgeon told me I had a lot of scar tissue. It took him 3 hrs! Said it should have taken 2 hrs max.
  17. kaninag
    Oh yay!! Mine is at 715! You'll be in my thoughts and prayers!
  18. kaninag
    Yeah I told the doc I was having surgery. And I called my surgeon this morning and they said as long as I felt better and wasn't running a fever I was good to go!

    Sick before surgery.....

    kaninag replied to kaninag's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I was definitely going to talk to them tomorrow and see how I felt. I have already made a significant improvement. No more cough or sore throat.And those were what we're bothering me so. Now I'm just having hot flashes from the steroid shot lol
  20. kaninag
    I went to the dr today with upper respiratory crud. He gave me a steroid shot, clindamycin shot, steroid dose pack and levaquin. I am already a ton better....BUT surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. The doc today said if I was better I would be fine....anyone have this happen so close to surgery? Kind of freaking out. This liquid diet has kicked my butt and I really don't want to turn around now......

    I have surgery on Tuesday and I too have been sick. Went to doc in the box today and got 2 shots (antibiotics and steroids) He said if I felt better I should be fine....but what about getting the steroids...should I be worried? No fever, no pneumonia. On Levaquin....soooo worried they will want to reschedule??!!!
