Dec 20th Sleever!



Recommended Posts

so i was sleeved on dec 20th. yay!

i am doing ok.. BUT....

one of my incisions are red and irritated. it was red & irritated in the hospital & i was put on antibiotics. the redness went away before being discharged but after getting out of bed on my own 2x, its redder than before! i will start on the antibiotics again tomorrow!

also, im coughing up phlegm. i do the respiratory breathing but i cough up phlegm without it. is that normal? it was only green one time. the other 4-5 were white.

and i noticed that when i take my pain meds, my knees get a numbing sensation. is it just me? lol

Glad to hear you were able to talk with him before being dc. My leg started cramping when I was driving about 5 weeks out and I started thinking I was getting a blood clot, so I went to the ER and no, I wasn't having a blood clot. 11 weeks out and I'm good to go, pasted the 8 week mark! You will do fine... Any questions and we can call the surgeon's office. That's what they're paid for. Have a Merry Christmas and I can't wait to hear about the lbs and inches just dropping off. ;)

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
