Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

@Mommeof3......you ate probably spilling ketones in your urine as you are loosing weight from burning all the fat. That is also why our breath and mouths taste funny.

When does it end?

Newgrandmother, you are not alone. Sounds like you've got a UTI. I had one from the antibiotics & had to get a prescription to get rid of mine. Also, drink lots of Water, it will help & no sex for about a week.

Yup-if ur in ketosis, urine will have a 'sharp' smell...totally agree with bukki!! 1 way to check is if your local pharmacy carries glucose sticks-the ones u pee on...the darker the purple it turns = ketosis...handy little things

Ok so I am up right now because I just had a horrible bout with gerd. It woke me up. I take the Prilosec daily but yesterday I did add soft foods such as egg. For dinner I had a few bites if steamed shredded chicken and one broccoli spear. Also have not had a bm snide Sunday and I take a stool softener everyday.... This is really painful and my stomach is just making noises.

You might try taking the Prilosec in the morning and one at night about an hour before you go to bed. It helped me. I haven't had gerd since surgery.

I had my post op appointment today. All is well. I did ask about the full feeling. I was told that it takes about six weeks for the new stomach to get adjusted. All labs are good, weight lost is good. Began this journey at 204lbs day of surgery 196lbs today 182.4 and I was sleeved on the 19th. Only downside to my visit is I have h pylori Again sink have to so a ten week regimen again. I love Kaiser and Dr. Um.

OMG! I feel like a pig. Everything I eat especially dinner I have to burp but its not a burp and then it's over oh no I keep burping and it gets louder and louder its embarrassing. Has anyone else experience this before? What am I doing wrong?

I've also had a dull ache in my tummy. Wonder what that's from.

      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

      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!
