Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

I have Kaiser and I just had my first labs done. Kaiser doctors had not sent me any notifications.

After reading that my fellow Kaiser Sleeve Sisters have already had labs I emailed my Endocrinologist and she set up my fasting labs.

So far' date=' all my labs have been great!![/quote']

The scheduled my appointment when I went in for my 2 week post op appoint.

I'm kind of nervous for tomorrows appointment. I have to admit I have been bad, I haven't been taking all my Vitamins nor have I been eating or drinking all my Protein. I can't even get all my Water in.

Ugh! Wish me luck.

Well I went to my 3 month appointment and I feel it was a waste of my 2 hours. There was a large group of people and the nutritionist went over everything we had discussed pre-op. Didn't have blood work until 6 months post op. Ugh! Pretty upset I was hoping I get some help with my eating options but now I have to call to set up an appointment with them. I think I've mentioned this before but I really don't like the nutritionist that I was assigned. If I get her I will request for a different one.

Hope everyone is well.

Thanks. Yea Kaiser So. San Francisco.

Is that playa vista near marina del Rey? If so I used to go to that Kaiser before moving north.

I was very disappointed. I'm going to call my dr. To have her order labs for me.

LET THE hair FALLING OUT BEGIN!!!

OMG, i noticed it a little here and there at first and then this week a little more. This morning I could not believe how much I pulled out while shampooing/conditioning. I am pretty convinced its from a lack of Protein. I am going to up the protein as of today and hope I can reverse some of the damage. Anyone else??

Parker how much Protein do you get a day and how far out are you?

I'm watching everyday for it to start. I'll be 3 months on the 12th. I've mostly it's happening when shampooing. I started just softly rubbing the Shampoo and conditioner in without scrubbing my scalp. Not sure if it'll help me or not. I'm so not looking forward to it.

      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!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
