June Sleeve Gurl here.

Its been 3 weeks since my sleeve surgery and things were a bit rocky in the beginning. I went back for my 2 week after surgery appt. I could not hold down any liquids. Mind you, this was the FIRST week home from surgery. When I went to see my doctor he had me go down to x-ray and I had to take this AWFUL tasting liquid and thats when it happened, when we were finished, I tried to turn over to get off the table and I let it all out...what ever it was came up and out. I spent 3 more days in the hospital with my doctor trying to figure out what happened.

Things are looking up, I'm holding food (protein & vitamins) down now. The good news is the x-rays showed no damage to the sleeve. My doctor has moved me into stage 2. :)

Has anyone else had a setback similar? I was scared out of my mind! How are the June sleevers doing so far?

I had issues but not in the hospital. A week after my surgery my Mom passed away, and between flying in for the funeral and everything I pushed myself too far...the last leg of the flight home I had a really violent episode with my stomach - it isn't easy to explain there was nausea, and vertigo and confusion and PAIN, and fatigue and the symptoms came and went in no steady fashion for hours...they wanted to turn the flight around which made not one whit of sense, since I was on my way home to Houston, and turninng back would have put me in Atlanta - and my family was in Virginia!

I have been slow to transition to regular food, but I got there...some days are better than others, but honestly I think I have spoiled myself with liquids.

Sorry to hear about your mom, I lost my mother May '06 and I am still missing her so much especially now. I am glad you

made it home safely and the plane wasn't turned around which I agree would not have made much since. I still have to catch myself when it comes to drinking water/tea and such. I can down a 16oz bottle in a heart beat...and I'm pretty sure that would hurt my heart now, but every once in awhile I take more than sip but stop before swallow too fast.

Boy do I miss my Pepsi...lol

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
