The good news- there was no leak!!

The bad news- I have such a bad postoperative infection that my sleeve has swollen almost closed.

I've been admitted to the hospital and am being pumped full of IV antibiotics and pain meds.

I'm glad you went in to be checked and thank God there was no leak! It sounds like the hospital is where you need to be right now. I am sure you will come out feeling much better.

Keep us posted! Sending healing vibes your way!

I am praying that whatever is causing your fever and pain is healed quickly. I don't know what is causing it, but whatever it is I am praying for immediate relief. Rest and calm yourself, because stressing over whatever the symptoms are can only make it worse. Blessings to you!!!

Thank you all for being so fab!!

I'm still in the hospital getting tons of IV antibiotics and nutrition. I've just been given my first tray of clears to work my way through. My WBC is down from over 16000 to right over 10000 (4500-10000ish is the normal range). So the antibiotics are working.

I really wated to go home today but not a single person has mentioned it, so I'm guessing tomorrow at the earliest.

Take the time you need, I'd say, don't leave until you're sure you're good. I'm glad its not a leak, but hope whatever is causing the infection is taken care of QUICKLY.

no point in leaving early - it just might cause you to come back for a longer period! Take the time, try to relax and know that you're getting the proper treatment so you don't EVER have to go back again! :)

Glad you're doing well!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
