I had my surgery on May3. Had a hital hernia repaired, lapband removed, and my sleeve done. Surgery went well. Went in for my swallow test all was good a little bit swollen but no leaks.

Unable to hold down fluids they ended up keeping me an extra day in the hospital. I came home still not able to hold dow much fluid no matter how little I sipped how long I left in between times I always managed to throw up. I went back to the doctor on Monday and he sent me for IV fluids, well no luck with that either. I had to go back to the doctor on Wednesday and he put me in the hopital and hooked me back up to IV fluids. Two days ago they put in a picc line and are feeding me through this picc line. Tomorrow they will be going down my throat with a camera to see if they can see any thing else wrong.

I am getting so depressed. They did bring me some oatmeal this morning for breakfast ohhhhh yummy. gonna pray it goes down and stays down.

Please keep me in your prayers that i will be out of here soon. : )

wow! So sorry you're having such a rough time! I hope they figure out what is wrong quickly and are able to fix it! Prayers coming your way!!

(((Mary))) Praying that things turn around quickly. Good luck!!

You will always be in out prayers, you don't even have to ask. I wish you a speedy recovery on the losers bench!

I had my surgery late April and like you I have also returned to the hospital but for a different reason. I recently felt extremely bloated in the abdomen section after eating or sipping and even with time this feeling never subsided. So I rushed myself to my dr office where I've been since LAST saturday. After so many tests, they began to narrow the problem down to blood clots in my abdomen area.

Even though I've been here a week I managed to stay confident that this minor inconvenience would only be temporary and never permanent because the human body is a beautiful thing! So I will need you to feel the same. Stay positive at all cost because confidence also helps during recovery mode. It will ALWAYS be mind over matter.

Jimmy, How did I miss that you're having problems too? I'll definitely keep you in my prayers as well!! I hate to see people have blood clots, but it sounds like your doctors are right on top of it! Good luck!

Mary, I will be praying for you! Hope you get out of hospital soon & can hold down that oatmeal.

Will be praying for you. Sorry you are having complications.

Wishing you all the very best. Sending good vibes out to you!

I am so sorry to hear that! Keep positive ...you'll be better soon!!! My healing thoughts are with you

Wow.. Mary and Jimmy Both, I wish you all the best. I can only imagine how hard something like this really is. I hope you both have a speedy recovery.

How are you both doing? Lots of prayers!!!

My prayers are with you too! You are not alone.

Kat

Sending healing energy your way with God's speed!

Mary and my sleeve friend, Jimmy, I'm

Praying for you both. Jimmy is right---this is just an inconvenience & you are already on the "loser's bench" with the rest of us. Please know we are thinking of you and pray for your speedy recovery! Hugs & white light going your way.

My Prayer are with you and Jimmy I'm praying for you too. I had nightmares about blood clots last night.

Get well Soon!

I too was sleeved on 3-may-12. The first week I felt great and I thought this couldn't be easier. Then 10 days post things starting going down hill. I was readmitted to the hospital on 16-may with severe dehydration and constipation. They put me on IV fluids and had me drink magneseum citrate to get my bowels moving. I was discharged on 18-may. That night I was discharged was tough. Things have been getting a little better day by day. I am still trying to figure out what I can eat/drink without causing my stomach and lower back to start having pains.

I don't know if it is the whey protein or the vitamins, but something doesn't agree with me after I take it. Trial and error will hopefully tell.

I never thought it would be so difficult to drink enough fluids.

I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow.

When did most of you start feeling normal again?
