I just had a revision from sleeve to rny on 12/12 due to horrible reflux and barrets esophagus. I started at 180 and have lost 20 pounds.
I had a horrible experience in the hospital and ended up having internal bleeding, needed blood transfusion... my oxygen level drop down to mid 50’s a few times. I stayed in the hospital for 5 days. I’m still quite swollen and bruised so I think I will lose a few more once I’m completely healed.

I’m feeling very frustrated and alone with this process. I had a revision from sleeve to rny to due GERD and Barrets esophogas. I had a bravo study done and my acid scores were in the 90’s. The dr immediately suggested the revision and submitted the paperwork the second week of November. I left for vacation for two weeks and during that time learned that I was approved and they scheduled me for 12/12.
I received zero information from a dietician regarding what I should be doing post-op. The dr gave me a print out of the progression from liquid to soft food and literally that’s it. I didn’t have to do the liquid diet, just Clear Liquids the day before the surgery, and was told to try to eliminate sugar to soften my liver. I have no information on proportion sizes, how many calories, Protein I should be getting daily. It all happened so fast, I wasn’t prepared.

I’m still bruised and sore 😕 I’m starting to feel better and would like to figure out a game plan since I can’t rely on the dr. Any suggestions on where I could find similar information that you would receive from a dietician? I’m guessing that’s my best bet.
Incase you were curious... I attached a picture of my bruising about 8-9 days after surgery. look how massive they are! That’s not my stomach, although it looks like one:( it’s my waist/hip area.
Any help/advice would be appreciated
also, anyone else still sore 4 weeks after surgery? I still struggle with steps and getting in and out of bed.
