Back In The Hospital



Recommended Posts

I was admitted again last night- for pain and severe dehydration :(.

I want to love my sleeve. I want to work this wonderful tool- but I've been through 2 weeks of hell on earth and I'm trying desperately not to regret making such a selfish choice.

Hey guys- horrible pain in my back and chest for 3 days. So bad I could only get in about 10oz of Fluid each day.

By the time I got to the ER I was barely aware of anything anyone was saying. They pumped me full of fluids and electrolytes and sent me for chest X-rays and another upper GI. The radiologist believes that my sleeve has spun around on itself. I'm being taken in later today or tomorrow for an endoscopy and if it really is twisted I will probably need opened back up.

Thank you all!

I was supposed to get an endoscopy yesterday, and then again today- but now they are telling me tomorrow. Because of my new anatomy nobody will scope me for legal reasons. Tomorrow the hospital is bringing in a specialist from a few hours away who does complex cases of post-WLS routinely. The wait has been agonizing but I'm relieved they are bringing in the best of the best. I was so afraid of some novice jamming a tube down there and killing me:(

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
