Im oficially sleeved with a slight complication.



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery on May 14th. The surgery went well. Unfortunately while in recovery I suffered a heart attack. Hospital did not know this as my enzyme test pre surgery looked good. They didn't get the post surgery lab test until May 16th. In the meantime they sent me home. Thursday morning I was awakened by my Dr standing by my bed telling me to go to the ER ASAP. After getting to the hospital I was re-admitted and was back in surgery in less than an hour. 2 of my arteries were blocked. 1 was 100% and the other was 60%. So I got 2 stints put in. I'm home now and feeling better. I feel lucky this was discovered when it was, otherwise I may have been in the middle of no-where. Make sure your doctors check your heart health and your enzyme levels are good. I love being sleeved and am looking forward to my journey.

The doctor was at an outlying clinic near where I lived and couldn't get through to me on my phone cause I was asleep. So he just came over. My mom is staying with us to help out so she invited him in. :)) I thought it was really thoughtful of him. Who knew doctors still made house calls... Lol..

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
