Recommended Posts

I'm having major problems getting in the amount of liquids and today I'm feeling really weak and light headed any pointers to maybe help ? I have only been able to keep down Gatorade Water and popsicles very very small amounts!

Hi,

I had mine on Monday afternoon. So far so good. I had no where near the discomfort like I had getting my Gall Bladder out two years ago. Too bad the Doc could not use the same holes. I'm tyring to get used of the taste of the Protein shakes and forcing myself to drink Water regularlly. I feel every swallow. Yesterday, every swallow required a small "burp" for relief, today not so much. Today, I started on the Vitamins and I have allot of energy back.

Hello all!! From hell I swear. Sleeved May 22nd....home now and feeling dehydrated' date=' nausea, and I think I got to full on 4 oz of cranberry juice. Feeling horrible. Walking etc but feeling overly stuffed and bloated[/quote']

I was sleeved on the 20th. It does get better, just gotta hang in there. Get your rest and soon it will be behind us. Today was my worst day since being home. I hardly drank, nausea was setting in once again and all it did was make me worry that I would end up back in the hospital. Tomorrow is a new day and I pray it's a better one. I hope for all of us feeling this way that tomorrow is much better. :)

Thank you for your words of encouragement. I'm much better after walking some more, napping, and passing gas (sorry tmi). Lastly I had a few tsp of Tomato Soup and the pains in my stomach have ceased. I was so worried. You are right thus will get easier!

I was sleeved may 20 and so far everything is going well except for the gas pain. I also experience a sharp pain on my left side after I drink so that's either gas or my body adjusting cause as soon as I get up its gone.

I was sleeved on may 20. I am doing really good! (thank God) had a very easy time! No pain hardly at all! I only took one pain pill when I left the hospital. The only trouble I am having is drinking enough. I am having I assume are gas pains when I try to drink. But other than that Im doing well. Hope things get better for you!

I was sleeved on may 22. Well I was a revision from vbg to vsg. Doing well in keeping my fluids downs and the meals provided. I can't for the life of me drink the horrible shakes. Omg they are horrible. I like the EAS carb control Protein Shakes so I will do those when I get home. The worst part for me was having the NG tube for 3 days and now the drainage bulb on my side. But it's all for good reasons. One day at a time. I'll be glad to be out if the recovery stage and seeing some actual weight loss. How long before we seen some down numbers

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
