So frustrated. Sleeved on July 17. Had many complications during surgery, lost my IV, surgeon said my hiatal hernia was so bad that after he fixed it, there wasnt much stomach left so almost had to bypass me instead. (did sleeve, but took nearly 91% of my stomach) 3 weeks later and I still can't keep anything down. 150g of protein?? HA! be lucky if I can keep 5g down. My throat is swollen and sore and anytime i try to eat ANYTHING, it gets stuck in my throat. I try to wash it down just to vomit the liquid. I put myself of liquids only again, but even they don't stay down. Now I think my body has hit starvation mode because I'm not losing. I'm so frustrated and don't know what to do Yes, I've talked to my surgeon but he said my body must be more "sensitive to this procedure" than most and to give it time. idk.... feeling lost

I'm sorry you're having so many problems.

No advice, just best wishes that this turns around for you soon.

I will keep you in my prayers

So sorry about all this troubles, stay strong and hope you feel better really soon!

I'm sorry I don't have any answers for you. But it's only been 3 weeks so I'm hoping things start to improve for you very soon.

Very sry you are going thru this & will be praying for you. I knw it must be hard but dont get frustrated, you will loose. Remember for just a normal surgery, it takes time before your stomach can heal & intake food so with your complications, it may take more time for adjustment. Keep your head up.

My surgery was 7/9 & I'm in the hospital right now writing this. I have developed a bacterial infection in my colon & have C diff.. I went to the ER last night cuz I have had difficulty eating & drinking anything. I felt I was dehydrated & was hoping to get some fluids. They did ct scans & said my surgery looks good but may have picked up the infection in Mexico.

I have such a hard time getting food & fluids in! I know exactly how you feel. I Am hoping things improve for you & me..

Take care.

I pray that you start feeling better soon!

I also had my surgery in Mexico. If you dont mind me asking, Where at in Mexico did you hv it? My biggest thing is drinking. Its hard for me to drink anything. I hv to make myself drink but its still not much.

Lulugirl, I really hope you get all this take care of & you get out of the hospital quickly.

I am so sorry you are having such a rough time. I was sleeved the day after you. I really hope that you start to feel better soon!

I also had my surgery on the 17th...I'm so sorry your having such a difficult time.

I'll be thinking of you. I can say I still feel swollen and bloated 3 weeks out. I don't think I'm like some that the swelling goes down quickly.

Keep us posted!

I have gallbladder liver issues along with dehydration issues. I've gone to the er every week since my surgery on June 26. I am going to a specialist for my liver and gallbladder. I've never in life had these many issues. At times I have issues drinking and eating. Im on meds for pain, nausea, and gallbladder .

Im slow to recover. I had a blood transfusion like 3 weeks ago bc I was losing so much blood. That caused me to have shortness of breath. Iv lost over 50 lbs. I don't regret surgery because Im off all medications like high blood pressure and insulin meds.

God and many prayers have helped. At one point I thought I was going to lose my mind. Each day it gets better. Im praying no er visits this week or the next.

Im praying that you get better.

Thanks for all your replys.. Ihad surgery with Dr Garcia but I don't really blame him. you can get c diff from taking antibiotics, I guess they knock out all the good stuff in you & you are susceptible to getting other kind of infections.

I just want to start feeling better!

what is c diff
