My face my poor face...
Bariiime replied to Bariiime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
True it don't but it do when the dietitian try to make you feel crazy. I actually called atleast 20 dermatologist today and been unsuccessful. Everyone is booked until April or may. I can't wait that long I would lose my mind. I've tried a few things at home so far to no avail. Hopefully I will get help in the next few days. -

Lord I hope not. I don't think i've been stressed atleast I haven't noticed. There are no blisters or fluid so I have no clue. I think I will go in to urgent care tomorrow after work. I'm tired of keep repeating myself and getting the run around at my surgeon office. xo -
Hi All I was recently sleeves on 1/26/23. I was very excited and anxious for the procedure to jump start my progress. Fast fwd since surgery I have been having a hard time. When I graduated to semi soft foods It been rough. I haven't been able to keep anything down. It's been so bad that I was informed that it would be best that I go back to the previous stage of liquids only. I'm starting to feel down about getting the procedure. I been vomiting, having heart burn, discomfort trying to drink water, stomach pains, unsuccessful attempts to belch. I've been so frustrated trying to explain this to my Dr. She look at my like i'm crazy and it's hard telling someone the complications I'm having who have never experienced it. Have anyone else had this issue? Like water hurt when I drink it.. it's like so rough when trying to go down like i feel pain while it's traveling and when it finally settle. I'm going crazy please help. My Dr said she will order a upper GI so we will see. I feel like I may have dumping syndrome- although I haven't eaten anything sugary or with fat. I was told dumping syndrome mostly only occur with bypass patients. As in I shouldn't be having that issue but I feel like I do. If i try something as simple as yogurt it come right up like fast within a few minutes and I experience all the issues notes above. I be bent over trying to deal with the pain when this is happening. Any suggestions, tips or advice is welcomed.

After surgery concerns.. Help!
Bariiime replied to Bariiime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okkkkkk so UPDATE yall!!! I can't recall if I told yall that I had the UGI done and it came back normal supposedly right.... so how about today i had my endoscopy done.. come to find out what they found so far is that my sleeve had twisted! She said it could be from the way it healed. But I read that it could also be from the way the staples were placed. Have anyone ever heard of this happening? I know prior to the surgery before they drugged me she said i will check it out and if anything I will do a dialation because she said my sleeve is really tiny.. whatever that mean. LOL I thought everyone sleeved their stomachs will be the same size so did she make mine smaller... weird. Nevertheless when i was in the recover room drugged i faintly heard her telling me stuff and i just recall nodding. So now I have to wait until my follow up visit to find out more details and if she was able to actually fix the twist. I do still have some of the symptoms as in the original post I made but they haven't been that bad in the last 5-6 hrs so we will see. I did read there there is several fixes for this issue with one of them being bypass which I was trying to avoid. Mainly because of not being able to take anti inflammatory meds, scared for another major surgery and me keep being out of work to recover. I feel like she may suggest this especially if i keep having heartburn and acid reflux 🫤. She also ordered for me to get another UGI before I follow up with her.. not sure why though since the 2nd one didn't even show her anything smh. Btw have anyone broke out from taking reglan? I took ot for 3 days and felt veey down, tired and weird just not myself and i immediately broke out on my face and chest prior to this I have had no breakouts whatsoever. This have all been an experience and I will try to remain positive for better days.... excuse typos as I'm still coming down from the medication they have me on. -

After surgery concerns.. Help!
Bariiime replied to Bariiime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you so much for all the feedback and suggestions. I appreciate it. Today have been the best so fat. I've managed to keep down the 8 oz of Water and 6 oz of Protein throughout the day. I'm hoping to get more relief soon. I was thinking maybe it's taking me longer to heal. My upper GI look normal my surgeon said. So she will still schedule me for the endoscopy next week. So I hope it will be fine as well. xoxo -

Bariiime replied to Bariiime's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
oh no pintsizedmallrat I'm sorry to hear this. Ouch that seems like it hurt badly! While I hope you're doing better.. I feel better knowing that someone else have gone through what I'm going through it gives me hope!! :) I can barely get down 20 ozs a day. One day I only managed to get 4 ounces and was threatened with being out back in the hospital as if I was being a brat and didn't want to drink purposely. Thank you sooooo much -
