My Experience After Surgery



Recommended Posts

I got my sleeve done yesterday Dallas.

Painful. Morphine did not work for me. They ordered something stronger. That did not work. They gave me a pill that did not work. I woke up crying in pain. The doctor ordered another pain medication. That worked. Im still in the hospital. Everything is ok now.

Thank for all the prayers and kind words.

It was a lady in recovery with me. I felt so sorry for her. She had the band 2 sleeve. She could not stop throwing up. She was throwing up blood. I hope she is ok.

Ain't no stoppin us now,were on the move !!!!!!<br />Sincerely<br /> Zeta

I'm glad that found a pain medication that would work for you! Frankly, I would rather deal with pain than deal nausea - feel so bad for that women that was in recovery with you. Take your meds, take your time, and get lots of rest!

I had to stay another night. I was in so much last, I was crying so loud the nurse next door came to check on me. She called the front again to make sure my nurse was coming. It kind of hurts when I drink.

Again thanks

I have never in life experience that much pain in my life. The nurses could not believe morphine did not work.

I felt bad for her too. I pray she is better.

thanks

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
