scared



Recommended Posts

So Friday night I got a fever. It has not gone past100.3. I might just be sick- but Saturday morning I woke up with a pain in my stomach. Is felt like an intense hunger pang. As I tried to rest and get better the cramping sensation continued. I eat food fine- no vomiting or blood but the cramping is so bad I took anti acids and still ... im just scared somthing is wrong with my sleeve. Like a leak or something

When was your surgery? If you're more than six weeks out, it's unlikely to be a leak, especially since you're not vomiting. Do you tolerate milk and milk products now? I became lactose intolerant after my sleeve and I will still cramp badly if I drink milk or eat cottage cheese or ice cream. I can eat cheese fine, but others have reported that cheese bothers them as well. My sleeve will also sometimes complain if I eat something too hot, too cold, or too spicy. Are you drinking too close to when you eat? If I don't wait the full 30 minutes after eating, I cramp badly, especially if there was any bread in what I ate.

When were you sleeved?

When in doubt about a leak, contact your surgeon. It's better to have a false alarm than to be too late...

I would call your dr. in the morning incase you have an infection or abscess. The fever is what I would be concern with.

      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! 😞
