Since Monday I've been exhausted..really bad back pains and headaches. I went to the doctor yesterday and they said that my urine came back that I was dehydrated that my urine did not have one drop of Water in it. I've been running a fever all week too...but I've been having stomach pains..on about 7 months post op. They feel like someone punched me right in the stomach..if u press down its tender.I can't lay on my side. I've also for the first time since surgery had horrible heartburn they fixed my hernia during surgery..I was told he didn't put mesh in...so I hope it did slip in again cuz when I eat or drink the pains come back bad. I also hope there's no leak! I just hope they can find out cuz fever usually means infection and I was checked for uti's and all!!!

Hope they hurry up and find out what's going on with your body really soon. Are you on an IV right now? If not, you might ask for one so you can get hydrated......Are they going to do a leak test or ct scan? if not, I hope you push for it..... Advocate for yourself because it really sucks feeling the way you do right now....Let us know how your doing........ HUGS! :)

Thanks.I just got into a room....I have no clue what they are going to do..but I want them to check everything. I know I'm becoming more dehydrated cuz I have a pounding headache and the lights are screwing with my head.... They just came in. I'm getting a IV and going for a CT scan.

They said everything looked fine. I was dehydrated.. And my urine came back that I have bacteria and my white blood cells were high..I don't have a uti either. But the doctor didn't even no what the "Sleeve" was I had to explain it to him...so did he even know what to look for??

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
