Leak?

Hello!!

I have had a leak and I am going through a lot with the sleeve. I am wanting to find someone who has been down or is currently going down this road. It's rough. I have been reaching out and receiving amazing support from other sleeved friends Dec Sleevers are nothing short of AMAZING!! I think it would be nice chat or text with someone who has been here.

Hello All!!

I am very sorry that you have awaited a post. I never received regular message alerting me. Matter of fact I sign in periodically and under "participated" nothing Is showing as new. Odd. So sorry. A gal alerted me on Facebook today. I feel miserable.

I never intentionally meant to leave you hanging. Please accept my apology! So sorry!!

I am alive and still working on eating. Somedays I can eat with no troubles and others one bite and I am sick. I generally have no desire for food. Good news is I have not been taking 24-48 hour breaks from food and water. I have to take medication twice a day to eat, otherwise consuming is not an option. Some days the medicine works and others it doesn't.

Stones are still tumbling around. They are very very painful. I am determined to ride these out alone. I will seek medical intervention if needed, so far I am managing. I no longer strain as my stones are large enough to see.

I am still struggling with vomiting. It slowed down for a while, but has started back up again. This has had consequences of its own.

I had my vitamin levels checked and my b is non existent. I am having neurological problems from this. I am struggling to get and keep the vit b pills down. So Friday I get a Vit B in an IV. This loss is from vomiting.

This Friday I am having am endoscope to look at my sleeve and make sure all is well. Hopefully all is normal. Sounds like the dr believes I have gastritis and she says this would most likely last a year. So I am about half way done with living in crazy town!!! :)

Today is five months post op for me. It feels like a long time!!

I have gotten rid of 80lbs

Size 26 to a 16

I move more freely

I workout regularly

I have been stalled for two months.

I love you all!! Thanks for following me!! :)

I will check back soon and not rely on what Vst is telling me.

Hugs & Loves!!

Sannah

I also wanted to say that I am generally doing better! :-)

I can manage MUCH better since I am able to receive nutrition!!

How are you all doing?

Sannah - thank you so much for checking in! Every time I see someone has responded to this thread I wonder how you are doing. It sounds like you're better - but still having a hard time. I pray everything goes well with your endoscopy and that you continue to improve - but more quickly.

Wow, Sannah, what a wild (not in a good way ;) ) ride you've had! Sorry to hear you still have issues, but so happy to hear your positive approach. Some day, all this really will be behind you....just gotta make it through to the other side. Regards.

Sannah nice to "see" you:) long time!

Yes that has happened to me too here :( I quit receiving updates for threads that I've started, even thought I am still subscribed!

I saw your pm :) I'm doing well, and I'm glad to hear Venla is doing well too. She's keeping you busy I bet!

Thank you!! I sincerely apologize for not updating. I feel miserable this happened!!

I am a lot better. :) it's very nice.

I hope all is clear and that nothing is found. I am sure all is okay. I think my stomach has been through a lot and I may just still be feeling it.

Wishing you Wellness,

Sannah

So glad your doing well Miss Laura!! How are the kiddos?

Venla is a hand full!! She keeps me in my toes at all times!! Good for the calorie deficit. :)

Odd about VST!! I don't get it!!! Well now I know to check even when I don't get the alerts. Lesson learned.

Haha. I love it!! Well, I am sure these are several other things he could desire. Making break is pretty harmless!! I only hope V could be this fun and nerdy!! :) I can't wait!!!!

Sannah...good to hear from you again and glad you are feeling better with more nutrition, and hope it gets easier. Hope your tests reveal your sleeve is ok!! Take care!!

Hey Katie!!

Thank you kindly!! :) I am hoping all is normal too!! I will send out an update after I recover from all the crazy medicine.

How are you doing?

The surgeon said that sometimes sleeve patients have a year of irritation. Maybe this is me!! I hope so.

Best,

Sannah

So happy to hear you're better Sannah! Yay!!!!
