I had my sleeve done July 12, 2012 and I've pretty much been in the hospital ever since. I'm unable to keep down liquids and the Dr is saying my stomach is still swollen too tight. I'm being sent home today with steroids and antacids via picc line IV. Docs are saying the swelling should go down with the steroids as they are trying to avoid going back to do a revision surgery (rny). Has anyone experienced this? I'm just praying the swelling will go down and I can at least get liquids down. I'll be seeing my Dr in his office next Tuesday July 31st and the hope is the swelling would've gone down where they can do an edg with dilation or even better won't have to do a scope at all. I'm so nervous and scared. I'd also like to mention I went from lapband to sleeve.

Thoughts and prayers go out to you. Good luck with the steroids!

Prayers and hugs to you Minakai.... sending you positive thoughts and energy.

Thanks Sar! I'm just letting the steroids do their job I haven't tried anything much other than ice chips but I'm even tolerating that a little better, so that has to be a good sign
