So sorry for all the pain and suffering you are going thru. I had gastric bypass 12/17 and was back in the hospital with a leak three weeks later and had emergency surgery. I was in the hospital for 39 days. I had an infection in the PIC line, and developed pneumonia. The TPN made me terribly nauseated and constant diarrhea. Once it was out of my system I was much better. The j peg was left in until about 5 weeks a go. It was so uncomfortable and made it hard to get around. But, once it was out it was immediate relief. Hopefully your nausea will go away once the meds are out of your system and you can rest better.
Im feeling much better now, but still get nauseous once or twice a week. Also, I’m not able to follow the proper diet and eat mostly mashed potatoes and chicken dumplings. I never feel nauseated with them. Hang in there, and know we are supporting you.
PS..not comparing my story to yours. It’s not been nearly as long. Hoping you feel better soon.

I had a revision in 12/17 and the weight loss after bypass has been great! My band was put in 2007 and I never lost significant weight with it.
The risk of complications is higher with a revision so make sure you take really good care of yourself afterwards and listen to your body!
Wishing you the best!

After 7 weeks my stall finally broke!! I’ve been going up and down 2 pounds for over 7 weeks now, and today I was down 3 pounds, putting my total weight loss at 61.2 pounds! I’m so excited!!
I haven’t done anything different, I just rode it out. However, I have to say I was scared that I might be done with the weight loss, and I was getting depressed. So, for all of you in the dreaded 3 month stall, hang in there!! (Surgery 12/13/17)

Thanks for asking. I’m feeling much better. I’m able to eat solid food now, and I started walking 10 minutes twice a day this week. I still have some pain on the left side and I still have to take my anti nausea meds 2-3 times a week, but there’s a huge improvement and considering where I cane from, I’m doing great!

I had a leak which led to another operation, 29 days in the hospital, and TPN. It’s been horrible! I went on Wellbutrin to help, and it’s taken the edge off.
The TPN really made me sick, nausea and constant diarrhea. I also gained 8 pounds in the hospital. I felt much better when it finally worked itself out of my system. Now I only take my nausea meds 2-3 times a week, a huge improvement for me.
Im so sorry you are going thru this, but it will work itself out, and you will be fabulous afterwards!!

I had my Revision from lap band to bypass on Dec. 13,2017. I’m 51 and so happy to have this tool to use. I’m growing younger everyday!!

I did have RNY. I became really sick and couldn’t eat or drink and I had horrible pain on my left side. Also, I couldn’t take a deep breath. They did a cat scan and found the leak. After surgery I was in the hospital 29 days. It’s been a long process getting better.

Hello,
My surgery was Dec. 13 and I’m down 57 pounds. It’s been really rough for me. I had a leak and almost died and I’m still recovering. I’m improving little by little, very slowly.
My weight loss has been good, and I’m really happy with it. I’ve just hit my first stall, but I know to just keep working on it and it will eventually pass.

I had my revision from lap band to a bypass on Dec. 12th In Mexico, The surgery went fine and I’ve had some normal issues, nausea, left pain, and tired, nothing horrible. But going into the third week when I started puréed foods the nausea started getting really bad and my back hurt so much I literally couldn’t catch my breath. I went to my Dr who had agreed to do my follow up I the states and got a prescription for pain and nausea, he also said I needed a CT scan, which I scheduled for 5 days later. I didn’t feel it was an emergency, and the Dr said “as a precaution “ so I wasn’t in a hut.
Well, Yesterday I get a phone call to go to the hospital ASAP I had a leak! My phone call came st 2:30 and by 6:00 I was in the operating room. I was so scared, the Dr came right out and said that this is life or death, I went in for exploratory laproscopic with the understanding that he may have to open me up to find the leak. I was very fortunate that his first try was where the leak was. He flushed out the area and removed the abscess, and drained 85cc of pus from the area. He said I was very lucky it had been contained to one area.
He put a feeding tube in the part of the stomach not bypassed and I will be on a feeding tube for at least 4 weeks. I can’t even drink Water so that all the infection can heal. I also saw an infection control dr. And he put me on 3 different IV antibiotics for 3 weeks minimum. I’m in ICU now, and a little confused if I will need to stay in the hospital or will be able to have home nursing. It’s too soon to tell. But he said I could be on the hospital for up to a month. I’m really confused, I’m on a morphine pump which isn’t helping.
The Dr said leaks happen and it has nothing to do with the skill of the surgeon or following directions, which I have to a T. But leaks are a very big deal! I thought the leak would be repaired and then things go bank to normal. I never thought I would be the 1.5% to develop a leak. I’m strong and usually bounce back quickly, but this has me on my butt! And I have a very long recovery road ahead. I’m so scared the infection may spread and poison my body and I’ll die.
I guess I just needed to rant a little and make sure everyone understands you could be part of the 1 percent.
