October Sleevers - Who else



Recommended Posts

Thanks! I'm surprised with how low the pain is. Just felt like I've been exercising lol. My mom had hers done today too but she's having some issues with her breathing and throat. But all should be well we've been told. They think she had the star of a flu or cold.

Prayers for my mom and speedy recovery.

Are you and your mum in the same hospital? It must be hard to look after yourself when you are worrying... Take care, and hope your mum is better soon.

Scheduled for the 29th - first day of liquid diet - not too bad - hope the rest of the week follows suit!

Congrats to all of those who have been sleeved - I hope I am as lucky as those who have come out w no complications pain or nausea.

Today was my last day (I hope) of requesting a seatbelt extension for a flight!!! No more travel until next year... And by then my Oct 21 surgery date starts to see the health improve and the waist go down!!!

Did you see the story about the big guy here in NZ who bought 2 plane tickets? - They gave him 2 seats in 2 different rows!

I was really crook for the first 24 hours also - then I started to rapidly improve. Sending positive thoughts to you and your mum.

I think it was just a mistake. The man was not impressed, but I did see the funny side. Mind you, it wouldn't be funny if it was me!

Halloween for me. I think I'm reading too much. Starting to think I shouldn't go through with it.

I know the feeling! Mine is on the 31st and I had pre op class today. My mind is reeling, I know its the right choice but I am still stressing about it!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
