What complications, may I ask?

P.S. your arms are Amazing!

Thanks for the compliment on my arms...it's funny though, I think that's my worst feature, lots of excess skin...I think that might have just been great photography! Lol! Anyways my complications are almost too many to list: large hematoma with drain tube one week after sleeve surgery, severe reflux and GERD, 3 strictures with dilations, 2 hiatal hernias needing surgery, a myelotomy surgery, revision to bypass surgery, central line put in for TPN, then finally 2 weeks ago a jejunostomy feeding tube put in for nutrition. Whew!

Yes ma'am I certainly have...double trouble for sure! Still awaiting one more surgery to stretch my stomach once I'm healthy enough again to go thru surgery. Not looking forward to that one at all!

I'm so sorry to hear that. It sounds like a nightmare.

Good luck!

I sure hope everything works out for the best this time.

It's so scary to hear this, I just got sleeved 11/11/15.

Having some problems but mine sounds pretty petty and minimal compared to yours .

I too have a problem with acid reflux sometimes and had to go to ER Sunday night because I was dehydrated from vomiting after trying to mix the Greek Triple Zero yogurt with my carton of Premier Protein shake. And I mixed it with my little ninja like blender and it has a lot of bubbles afterwards and I think that's what starts it. I feel a rabid dog foaming at the mouth and my throat tries to close up. Second time, so that's it for me , never again.

Good luck though, I pray it gets so much better.

Yes, girl, whew...brings back memories! Just concentrate on eating the yogurt when you're able to and just drink those Protein shakes continuously...I still do for my protein! What do you take for your reflux? I take Dexilant 60mg and it's great for me and does much better than any other over the counter or prescription that I've ever tried. I'm sure your sleeve will work for you and you'll do great! Just keep doing what the dr says and never stray! ????????

I had my surgery last Monday 11/16/2015

The picture one the right is from the day before 11/15/2015 and the picture on the left is from yesterday 11/24/2015

This first week has not been easy, I was almost regretting my decision and when I look at this picture I feel better. I've lost 20 pounds in 9 days!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
