Was sleeved on the 27th of July and had been having a hard time ever since. I could eat, couldn't drink and just a general feeling of awfulness. This past Sunday I went to the ER, very dehydrated and in pain. I have a blood clot near my liver and pancreaitis. I wa admitted to the ICU and started on Heparin and clot busters. Just when I thought I was about ready to go home, I was hit with pneumonia. So another 2 day stay. I'm home now, and finally moved to the soft solids but I am still having trouble eating. Not having the gas that I used to, but after I eat anything my intestines seem to hate me. I am hoping that this is temporary and soon I will be rocking my sleeve. On the bright side I am down over 20 lbs....

So sorry to hear this.... Take it easy

And like you said, you LOST 20lbs, not gain...

All the best

What a terrible experience you've been having. Hope all goes well from now on.

Wow- you have been through a lot the last couple of weeks. Sorry to hear about this but here you are - at home and you'll tackle this day by day . Prayers and positive thoughts

Wow! You've been through a really bad time and I'm sorry for that. I am glad to see you are doing better and that you have a good attitude. Next of luck to you! Take care!

I'm so sorry you're having a bad time!! I had two set backs in the beginning as well, though nothing as serious as yours! The day after I got home, I had to go back to the ER, I was dehydrated, got sick threw up, and my stomach became really swollen! The pain was horrible! They put me back on IV fluids and the pain pump. Then I got home and everything was great, felt really good.... and then I leaned over the wrong way and my drainage tube shifted and got under my dyaphram and I couldn't breathe! It was so painful... And they pulled it out early, but it had already irritated my dyaphram and stomach and I had bad pain for another week! Seriously I was so upset and had major regrets! One month out and doing great now! It will get better for you too! Sending positive thoughts, well wishes, and prayers your way! I hope you feel better soon!

Wishing you all the best and hope you recover from this quickly... Sending you positive thoughts!
