I Have A Question About Going To The Bathroom



Recommended Posts

Hey guys I'm getting ready for the swallow test. He wants to send me home if it goes through

If he does, and you are still ill, do as I did in the hospital that wanted to send me home...look on the net and find the best hospital within a couple of hours of you that does gastric surgery and tell them you want to be transferred there. Fire your doc and they will give you a new one because you are newly sleeved. or is you are in a sleeve hospital, ask for another docs second opinion and ask for it in person. Sleeve surgeon only!

We are here for you! Get some answers before you go back home. I didn't fight hard enough at the start and that nearly killed me. I don't want to see you go through what i did.

I'm hoping the 7hr gap here means they found the problem & are taking appropriate measures to correct it.

What about the Fluid outside your stomache? What's it from? How are you feeling over all? Still light headed?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
