Anyone else sleeved Monday may 20



Recommended Posts

Hi all! I was sleeved May 20th in South Jersey.

I'm feeling pretty good. I have to be on a clear liquid diet until my checkup on Tuesday. I'm still working on getting that gas moving and as of last night I have a coating on my tongue and a metallic taste in my mouth. I'm thinking ketosis?

Also from South Jersey. Sleeved 5/22. Feeling pretty good today and I just hope tomorrow is even better!

Hey! Band removal, sleeve revision, & hiatal hernia repair 5/20. Home on Wed....so far doing really well. I think having gone through this post op eating with the band, it isn't so foreign. It ain't great, but in the long run it'll do. Actually had some Greek yogurt yesterday which helped substantially with the gas pains I'd been dealing with. Today I surprised myself and actually walked a mile...took a while, but I did it. Drain removal set for Tue...hope that helps the left shoulder pain I've had today. So, yeah...I'm doing pretty well.

I was sleeved on Monday May 20th in San Antonio and then rode home to CC on Tuesday night. The first 3 days were really tough getting up and down, but each day is getting easier. 6 days out now and starting to feel much more normal. Not hungry but sick of all liquids, ready for some food and different flavors. Back hurts I guess from sleeping on it and maybe some trapped gas too. Decided to stop taking pain mess for now and blessed to not have many problems. I still can't believe I've done this, it was a huge step! I'm so excited to start this new weight loss journey!

I was on May 21st at 7:30 am. Very difficult so far. I'm worried about dehydration. Extreme discomfort.

I was sleeved on May 22 and discharged on May 24, I haven't been able to keep any liquids down. I'm hoping this gets better. The gas hurts really bad. The Fluid seems to stop in my chest! Miserable!!!!!

How do you know when you're full Aly?

I just feel satisfied. It's hard to explain but I listen to my body. My mind needs to catch up to my stomach. It can be a bit challenging mentally.

I was sleeved on the 22ND discharged the 23rd admitted the 24th with fever discharged today fever again...

What is causing the fever? How high? Where are you located ? I was sleeved on the 22nd and wasn't discharge till yesterday. They were very thorough. I would be very concerned that they just discharged you. Antibiotics?

I was also sleeved on the 22nd of May! First 3 days was tough for me but like y'all said it gets easier day by day! Funny thing is its memorial and of course all the family get together a revolve around food! Other then that I'm not really hungry. I'm getting all my fluids and Proteins down and Popsicles and tomatoe Soup is saving my but! Down 11 lbs in 5 days! I'm gonna try to hit the gym tomorrow! If I can get back to running 3 miles a day like I did before the surgery the weight should melt off!

I still haven't had a bowl movement. Anyone else?

At the hospital, they said I had good bowl sounds and have been passing some gas, just no bowl movement. I was on a two week pre-op diet of protien shakes and one 300 calorie meal. Two days before surgery I had to clean everything out by taking the laxative, magnesium citrate. Since then I've been on clear fluids, so I just figure there is nothing there to come out, but just wondering if anyone else is the same way.

      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.
