How goes it today Jasleeve? Feeling any better? What are you doing to occupy your time? I know it isn't any fun feeling so crappy, but staying busy might help take your mind off of how you feel. Are you up and around most days? When do you see the doctor next? Hope it is soon. Talk to him about a Zofran pump if you are still having such nausea problems! It might help significantly. Still praying for you. You are on my heart and in my mind everyday! Take care. Love and Hugs and Prayers!!!

jasleeve, I am slo praying for you. However, I cannot understand why you can't get any help from your doctor who did the surgery or the hospital. That's what they are there for and I would think that doctor should take responsibility.

I used my lortab to sleep also, rest is a good thing for healing, although it sure would be better if you didn't feel so sick :(

Kind of like your body doesn't like the foreign object - rejecting it or something!

Are you eating anything,,if you are,,what is a typical day with food? I know I'm constantly adjusting everything because of my nausea after my leak. I'm still trying to learn how to eat. Loritab is good for pain but it would tear my stomach up. Are you walking? If you rest too much, that will make you feel like crap.

exactly!!!!! its like my stomach is screaming for it to get out. they said they could remove the stent but if its still there, theyd have to put it right back in. if a leak wasnt fatal, id say take it out!!!!

not eating much. maybe a cracker here & there. cant hold anything down. as far as walking, i dont do too much because i havent really been eating. i got sleeved 7 weeks ago & only really ate for 2 of those weeks. week 4&5. i still have 2 weeks left with this stent. a wal from my door to the car is exhausting.

When I'm sedentary,,I'm miserable..stomach all crunched up and I feel crampy and moody and even more tired and restless and it keeps me up all night. If my stomach is empty it feels like nausea but it's hunger..for me anyway. I would take baby steps,,a little is better than none. If you're throwing up anyway,,I would try different things. Warm Soup, ,cold jello...just anything. The crackers are ok but all the carbs could be adding to the nausea too. That would be a normal remedy to help nausea but the sleeve changes everything. I know your stent isn't helping matters any.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
