Hi, I had gastric sleeve surgery on the 15th of April and on the 1st of June had my gallbladder taken out as an emergency surgery. Never had any problems before with gallstones, but I am thinking I am still better off lighter and healthier and at least my gallbladder won’t make troubles anymore. I am healing well, but now have an abundance of small scars on my belly ?

Ended up back in the hospital yesterday. I bent down to pick up my shoes and something happened to my stomach. I still have no earthly idea what it was. But I was in excruciating pain and couldn’t hardly breathe. My sister called an ambulance and they took me in. My blood pressure was low and my heart rate was high. Even my sugar was high and it never is. They said I was diaphoretic. They ran all kinds of tests on me and everything came back normal, of course, and they think it was just really bad gas pains. I thought one of my organs was trying to climb out of my body. I’m home now and doing better but I’m definitely super sore from my muscles being super tight and spasming all day. I could use some prayers! I kinda feel like I’m back to day 2 or 3 after surgery, ugh...

Yeah that totally makes sense and absolutely justified why you’d be afraid! I feel like through this time we’ll experience all these tests to see how far we can be pushed to our limit. My niece wanted fries the other day and my fam and I went to get and then they all got food and the entire car smelled of fried chicken and I was thinking well if I chew a piece of chicken and spit it out then that won’t hurt right? I didn’t do it but I was close to. Like you said, there’s a fear you can get away with it then if you do then it can become a habit. We gotta be strong but my doctor reminded me 2 days ago that the first 6 weeks are the toughest. We just have to remember the payoff at the end!
Also cupcakes and cakes were my biggest weakness! I think cupcakes became my comfort food and I used it as my unwinding from a hard week at work treat which clearly wasn’t helping me at all. So great job resisting and getting the cupcakes out of your sight. Must have been terrrrrrible seeing that in your face all day!

How’s everyone doing? March 27th surgery here. Recovery is so much fun...

I know what you mean! Drinking is so easy, if it wasn't for the gas pain and twinges in my abdomen I'd wonder if he even did the surgery!! Have had 55 oz today, and it's mid afternoon.

Same I’m able to slip on my water just fine with barely any discomfort.

Howdy!
I’ve been a lurker here for over 10 years. I have wanted this surgery and prayed for it. Through a divorce, job changes (which mean insurance changes), disabled son’s surgery, Lupus diagnosis and then prescribed steroids, I have wanted and needed this surgery. But it wasn’t until about 6 months ago when we moved to Florida that I realized it was actually a real possibility. And it was, and is. And it’s happening tomorrow, March 27th. I haven’t wanted to post anything because I honestly didn’t believe it would happen. Can it be real???
