  1. Hi! I'm Brenda and I was sleeved on 2/25/21 also. My surgery went well and I felt like I was doing pretty good since being home. However, I need some advice! As I said, I thought I was doing pretty good until 2 days ago, when I got very light-headed in the shower and had to have help to get out. Once I cooled off, it passed, but after thinking about it, I realized that although I wasn't having pain eating (stage 3) and drinking, I was very low on the amount of water and other fluids and food that I should be getting and figured that was what caused the episode. (I was trying to keep everything at 1/4 cup and only taking in every 2 hours) So, I forced myself to drink, drink, drink and eat probably twice as much that day as I had been and it did make me feel better. Here's my concern: Yesterday and today, I have had burning type pain all over my midsection. I can eat and drink without vomiting, but there is some pain associated with it now and I don't want to do it much. I have no fever, my BP is good. I'm just sitting here in pain and wondering if I have really done something bad and hurt myself? (Like a rupture) I do not have a PCP to contact and am having trouble finding a new one. So, I am reaching out here for advice. Does this sound like I have just over-done it and a little time will get me back on track or should I be more concerned about it?
