1st Post-op Appt Update (10 Days Gastric Sleeved!)



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys...

Well, let's see... I'm feeling great, trying to remember NOT to do too much....My appt was w/ the NP in my surgeon's office.. Really nice lady...She removed my staples, checked my vitals..

My BP was pretty good (Thank You Jesus!!) - 133/82 .. It was running pretty high...

Respiratory stuff is good.. She thinks the mucus thing is a combo of reflux and my compromised Resp system (had pneumonia in the spring and several bouts of bronchitis since then).... I now take Prevacid 2x a day, instead of one.

Everything else was cool.. (besides an oozing, weeping incision near my belly button!!.. no infection, just a lot of Fluid coming out.. ) she wants me to keep up w/ the meds and keep moving..

OH... I now weigh.... 341!! That's 19 pounds less than my surgery day!!!! YEAH!!!!

Sounds good! I'm glad the issue wasn't too serious. I'm sure continuing your breathing apparatus with the Prevacid will help.

Yayyyy!!! Congrats on the weight loss so early out!!! :)

      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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
