    infection b4 sleeve surgery

    D3 should be a part of your multivitamin and this regimen should have been started prior to and continued after surgery so yes, D3 is allowed. You should probably look at the multivitamin you are already taking for IU’s so you do not exceed to maximum daily dose.

    regretting my sleeve

    I understand that control is an issue for you and I also understand that childhood trauma can alter your state of mind at anytime but these are some serious thoughts you are having. Regretting your surgery to the point that you are already contemplating ways (albeit very unhealthy and unsafe ways) to stretch your sleeve back out really isn’t safe for your physical and mental well being. I read that you didn’t want a therapist, but having someone to talk to at this time could really help you adapt to the changes that you are uncomfortable with. And I say this because, as fresh out of surgery as you are, if you opted to try to stretch your sleeve out with food anytime in the near future, you could have some serious health risks at hand. I do not believe that you would want to risk your life by rupturing your staple line which could result in death or serious additional surgeries. Also, if you survived, your adaptation back to real food would start over and be a much slower process. These are things that you should consider before automatically dismissing therapeutic intervention. If you were able to work thru your lack of control, I am sure that you would find the healthier physical you will appreciate the healthier mental you as well.

    I wish I never had this done...help!

    I read about stenosis and the sleeve and too much scar tissue formation causing excessive vomiting. I would check with my dr or get a second opinion. It sounds to me like that could be an issue considering it started so quickly after surgery about the time scar tissue would start forming. I am not a doctor but it is a worthy thought. Best wishes for a quick recovery.
