I had surgery 10/7.... Starting Weight-420 Current Weight-297 Total-123 lbs 6'2 male Spent 26 days in hospital with leak, actually gained while in so feel like I lost a whole month. Loss is not what I wanted, but getting there. I'm not very obedient....drink a lot of kool aid, but I just cant drink plain water. Sent from my SM-G900P using BariatricPal mobile app

Guess this is a post to vent.... Quick story to date... Sleeved on 10/7/16...smooth surgery, went home next day. Battled hardcore nausea, vomiting, low grade fever. Readmitted on 10/20, leak in sleeve. Spent 9 days in on TPN to let it heal, sent home. Symptoms came back. Readmitted on 11/7 leaking again. 11/8 had procedure to put in a stent to let it heal. 11/9, test positive for CDiff thanks to all the antibiotics. Spent 15 more days in...just released 4 days ago. Sent home with home health, have 24 hr TPN as well as three infusions daily.... But at least I am home. Its hard eating with TPN....you arent really hungry. But trying to stay with stages and get liquids, as TPN does not help with that... Stronger daily physically, and mentally. Not sure I'd do this again......

People often comment that a food is a slider? Is that something just more easily digested? Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

It was a "tiny" leak according to surgeon. Let it heal itself. Thinks I did i throwing up the day before I came in. Had upper GI and its sealed, but nausea is still rough. Better now, but a ways to go. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

What...a....ride. Sleeved on 10/7, and had nausea bad since Day 1. Finally could not take it any longer, and off to ER on 10/20. Admitted, slightly dehydrated, and then they do a CT scan that shows a leak. At that point, they shut me diwn, nothing oral to it heal. Yesterday i go the green light to go back to Clear liquids, puked every meal. Did i credible today, move to full liquid. So miserable. For six days I survived on phyrenagan and dialudin. Ate today, kept it diwn. Still nauseaus. Anyone else have this much nausea? Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

And thats what I am doing now....I just have to get fluids in....so nauseated...they called me in Zofran, but it only takes the edge off . Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App I am 11 days out, and down over 30 lbs...I am ok with a few calories... Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

Back when I was banded, when finding the sweet spot, I did .1 adjustments to get it right. Kept weight of for several years before my body just rejected band. Sleeved on 10/7/16, and wowser, its a different world. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

I wish I could just have gatorade or something....think that might also help with general lack of energy. Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App
