JDUDA

I’m so sorry to hear you are in that much discomfort. I would try to see your surgeon as soon as possible in case of a stomach leak or issue. The sooner you see him, you can get assistance and hopefully some answers. Also, if you can’t keep water or fluids down, be careful to not get de-hydrated. See if you can get to your doctor’s ASAP.

Well, its been one hell of a ride that hasn't stopped yet. I was in 1 hospital for 44 days then transferred to Tampa general hospital for 10 days. Long story short I have a big whole
where the esophagus meat the stomach. They put 2 stents in and had to take them out and put feeding tube in. I'm finally home with the feeding tube. I'm not suppose to have ice but I'm so thirsty. Any one else relate? How bad is it?

its true its a tool and takes a lot of hard work. When you are ready tell or don't. Tell the truth. I'm eating a lot less and sugar free low carbs

update: Not what I wanted but at least there is answer. Sleeved 2.22.19 where esophagus meet sleeve a new pouch is there with no drainage. Stomach pain since March and only got worse. No food in 3 weeks only liquids no medications either. I will find out the game plan on Monday. GI Dr found it. Revision or Bypass?

All the interventions they can to keep it from turning into Esophageal Cancer. You certainly are at risk JDUDA, my 1st cousin June-Ellen died of that a couple years ago on the "table" at the Cleveland Clinic, firmed my resolve to complete my RNY. But Oh My I do still miss her so much, her death was a warning that I should live, but I wish I had her here to be proud of me TODAY?

I am so sorry to hear what you're going through. I hope you have some family and friends nearby to help you get through this. Sure hope you turn the corner on all this real soon. Hang in there!

This sounds terrible! We had our surgeries in February. I do get nauseated at times still.
Hope you find answers soon!

I just want to say how horrible this sounds and I'm so sorry you are going through it. What do they do for Barretts?

I think that You mean Scope, an ice cream scoop would HURT!

And much,as I hate telling you to dull your diet down, start dropping spicy foods and such, see if it makes a difference. Your sleeve may be crying inside " Please treat me a little more tenderly I'm just a little slender critter!!"

I talked to my Dr today and told them that its soar all around my bell button even to the touch. Also that one of the scab starts healing then it falls off and it is green underneath . The Dr they said to keep an eye on scab that wont heal and if I get a fever to let them right away. Going to move up my follow up appointment.

I'm so happy! 3 week post opt and today was the 1st day I was able to take all my medication with out any problems. It took a while but I did it. All 10 of them. Its a good day. It was really hard with one medication that I have to take 2 a day but not no more. I tried liquid but they where nasty.

I will contact my Dr Monday to be on the safe side

thank you!

I burp a lot more know than before surgery. On week 3 post off headache have gotten better since week 1

Focus on now! Soup will be come your friend. Black bean soup is awesome and you can make it spicy or not depends on our taste. There is so much out there. Think about what you can have not what you cant. If there is some thing you really like look and see if it can be changed to fit what you can eat.

No you are not crazy. I had to have 2 lap bands removed and waited a little over a year to have the sleeve done on 2/22/2019. I haven't gotten much support from my husband and my daughter but I did it for me. I just bit my tongue when I ask for help and they reply with I told you shouldn't have gotten the surgery done. I'm very glad I found this forum for support.

The past 6 months have been hard and I've completely gotten off track. I hit maintenance at about 15 months post op and was maintaining at 180-182 pounds. I was happy with that and my doctor was to since I was within 5 pounds of my goal. Well I got complacent and allowed old habits back in and I've gained 10 pounds in the last 6 months. I decided part of getting back on track is getting my support system back so I'm logging back in here and going to meetings again locally. I've started tracking food again and I'm back exercising. The hardest part has been snacking. I tracked my daily log a few weeks ago and I was eating so much because I was just snacking way to much. I'm back down to 1,000-1200 calories a day per my NUT suggestion. Its so hard but I know I can do it. I'm hoping to get plastic surgery in the near future so that is my goal.

Congratulations!!! My insurance said I had to wait a year because they won’t pay until I retire, so I’m feb I am going to mexico. I’ve seen really great reviews about the facility and surgeon. Reading reviews on this forum has eased a lot of my anxiety

I’m starting purées on Wednesday but the hunger is constant and never ending. I’m honestly really disheartened. I’m just sick about the fact that I feel NO different in terms of appetite after surgery. I know my doctor is very good and I’m sure he did a good job but I hate my body right now. I’m scared that I’m going to nibble my way through this damn bypass if I can’t stop feeling hungry all the time. This is legit stomach hunger not head hunger. Today I just feel defeated

I am 9 days post op and have to stay on liquid for 21 days. I am hungry and not sure how I will get through on broth and protein shakes for 12 more days. I go in for my 2 week Monday and hoping they will have suggestions on anything other than broth and protein shakes. Feeling discouraged today
