Recommended Posts

I'm looking for someone who can help go through this with me. I was sleeved Wednesday. I did experience minor complications, I am 20 and I'm the youngest patient m doctor has did. I failed my barium swallowing test the morning after surgery because my throat was so swollen. I also had horrible gas pains that medication wouldn't touch. It is now Friday and I finally got to come home. Doing much better just very sore, swallowing is alot better also!

Hey! I had my surgery the Thursday before you, and I'm eighteen! So I was the youngest my doctor has too! This just means we have a more speedy recovery!

Your throat was swollen because of the tubes irritating it? Did you get another leak test later?

Congratulations to both of you youngun's from a 64 year old. B)

No I didn't have to get another one done because i slowly tested myself. I can feel it going down and my throat makes a weird noise sometimes when I swallow. He said it could be from the tubes, or just being young. He said each person is different.

I am sooo sore today :(

Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better soon.

I have never heard of being young as a reason for a sore throat or noise when you swallow. But I am no doctor. Yes, each person is different.

The noise is gone now and swallowing is much better. I just swelled up more than most. But I'm back on track now and everything is

Normal.

Take your pain meds, get your walking in and concentrate on healing! Also an anti acid and Tums chewables are great for gas and swelling.

Chelsey and Teribearyy,

I'm a 64 year old guy who went through cancer treatment which devastated my body. I am 11 months out and working out like I'm 30. I lost over 100 pounds and healed up pretty quickly from the operation. If I can do well, so can you.

Everyone is different but I'd put money on the odds that those young bodies are going to do quite well. Elasticity and quick recovery are in your corner.

Use your new life well, young ladies. Conquer your bodies with your minds. We are here to help you if you need it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
