Hello,

I had a lapband done in 2008. It ended up with a leak and I chose to have the sleeve done : ( beings I did not lose that much weight with the lapband.

I had my my lapband removed a small hernia repair and the sleeve done on May 3, 2012. I had an upper GI done the morning after surgery and all looked well. They started me on fluids and the nightmare begins. I ended up staying in the hospital for 4 days because I could not hold down fluids. I came home and could not hold down anything. Went back to the doctor on May 14,2012 and was sent for another upper GI and sent down for several bags of fluids. The GI came back that I had severe swelling. I went back to the doctor on May17,2012 and was put in the hospital and stayed there until May 24,2012. I had a picc line put in my arm.

I have been home for several days now and it is no better. I still have problems holding down fluids. I have even tried an eye dropper to make sure I am not taking in to much at one time. I was down to 1/2 TEASPOON every 30 minutes and still threw up. I am not able to eat.

I do nothing but cry. My son will be graduating on June 15 and I am hoping I am still alive to see my baby graduate. I am serious I am so afraid that I am going to die from this sleeve. I wake up every morning with a positive attitude and I am like ok today will be a good day and it just gets worst as the day goes on.

I would much rather be 100 pounds over weight than to live the rest of my life like this.

If anyone has any suggestions on how I can at least keep down fluids I would appreciate it. I tried ice chips and just letting them trickle down my throat and I still throw up.

I have another doctors appointment on Tuesday.

Please keep me in your prayers. I am so scared.

Praying for you to get better soon hon.

I'm praying and hoping that you feel better soon.

Was able to hold down some egg drop soup today fluids still not so good

Egg drop soup is a great idea, Tuesday is almost here and hopefully you can get in to the doctors and they can come up with some solution. Still in my prayers.

back in the hospital again...will have surgery in the morning to see if they can figure out what the heck is going on with this sleeve...please keep me in prayer...
