2 Days Post Op/newly Sleeved



Recommended Posts

Actually' date=' unless you are allergic to anesthesia, having smooth sailing during the procedure has everything to do with fitness on the inside...everything., and I thin k you should work on that asap. The surgeon's team told me this...it's not me making it up. Good luck to you.[/quote']

This is not true. I'm a nurse and I know this sometime we take a while for our organs to pick back up...

Wow...that's quite a story. I'm amazed you didn't have pain right off...I had it' date=' massively, and it stuck around like that for days and days. I was in the hospital for 4 days, and really should have stayed longer. I wonder if you exercised beforehand? I did, and they said I was, "in shape" on the inside, and a "star patient." I thought that was odd because of my size and pain. I wonder if you exercised....flatlining is no joke! I was fortunate that my exercise prevented anything like that for me. I hope you are ok, and that you get an ekg just to be sure you are ok.[/quote']

can you see where that may be an offensive statement? problems with anesthesia can hapen to all of us . my son flatlined at 4lbs (no fat) believe me, he was not exercising and given there are more types of anestesia than you can shake a stick at, alergy is not common unless you have a known allergy to one of the underlying drugs (ie morphine) You are insulting this poor woman and should appologize as you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

To those of you whom are so offended...I told the truth as it was told to me. My children were 1lb14 oz and 2lb 21/4 oz and were basically born dead...had heart surgery, chf, bpd, pneumothoraxes, ricketts--and all that goes with that, nec, hydronephrosis, massive infections and transfusions, and i could go on and on. I know first hand what 2lb and 4lb and now 120lb babies go through ...and you cannot compare children to adults...your argument is moot....not at all relevant.

If the lady does not like what my experience has been...she doesn't have to take my advice. it's that simple...if someone is "offended," that's not really my problem. I have more medical and life experience than most people will ever get regarding children. It's not relevant. And, I don't appreciate being baggered about what my experience was.

I was sleeved on the 10th and today is way better. It doesn't hurt when I drink anymore and getting out of bed isn't as painful. I still have time to recover but what broke the "it hurts to eat anything" was some chicken broth. Take it slow but trust me, it will pass

I was sleeved on the 12th & I'm glad to hear that feeling went away for you... broth does go down pretty smooth, I just wanna drink w/ out feeling like I'm swallowing something hard when all it is is Water... Thanks for sharing that & ik it will get easier by the day - I still am in a lot of pain on my left side, it's actually swollen a lil bit but pain pills help & it's doesn't hurt as bad as yesterday..

I don't have to be a doctor to state my own experiences and have a conversation with someone. Get a life, and leave me alone, or I'm going to report you.

i was a wreck all the way till they willed me in. i had to wait over an hour before they willed me in. had me get on the table strecth out my arms put this mask on me and that was it i woke up 2 hrs later feeling like crap. the nausea was horrible for me i couldnt talk or nothing. my friend was there when i came out and she said i was flat lining in recovery. i kept hearing her say breath judy' date=' but i was breathng so i thought. (PLEASE DONT GO ALONE HAVE SOMEONE THERE WITH YOU). im glad she was there.

i sat in that bed from 4pm till 10pm before i got my room the hospital was so busy. once in my room i felt all alone my friend had left the nurse came in did what she needed to do and left me in that big room. i couldnt sleep at all and when i finally fell asleep they came and got me at 2 am to walk i was like are you kidding me. so i did and i had so much energy inspite of nausea i felt pretty good had no pain at all. sooooooooooooo the next day i started feeling the pain of my insisions ouch. could walk marathons anymore lol. i was went home by 2 pm my surgeon said i did well and he was proud of me. and myliver looked ok the diet helped.

soooooooooo at home in pain uncomfortable still naseauated. regreting having it done i cant even get a drop of Water in without the tightness. but ive been promised it gets better. well as the day goes on i am feeling better. and i actually slept on my side last night thats a plus. i got in about 6 ozof Water and less than half of Isopure. cant wait to see waht tomorrow brings.[/quote']

I could be mistaken, but I think you were de-sating, which means your oxygenation was dropping below the desired level, we usually like it above 97% post-op. The reason I think you were de-sating is because they were asking you to take deep breaths. If you were flatlining, I would hope they would have been starting chest compressions and grabbing the crash cart. Either way, I'm glad you're okay and welcome to the loser's bench.

      It's been 10 long years! Here is my VSG weight loss surgiversary update..

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
