September 5 sleever

Hi everyone! This is my first post. I just got sleeved on Thursday by Dr. Feiz down in Huntington Beach California. I've already had complications and was sent back to the hospital Sunday morning and have been here since. Supposedly I have a cyst in my stomach that is combining with the swelling and preventing anything from getting in. :(

I'm so helpless and worried now. Praying things will get better soon.

I did lose two pounds though!

Prayers to you from Florida!!!!!

hang in there .. it will all be good in a little bit... i too had to go back to hospital after surgery but all turned out ok... just do as they are telling you... you can do this! Rock that sleeve!!

Thank you! I have an upper gi test today to see if I could finally have some liquids again or not! Never wanted a liquid diet more than I do now lol

Wishing you luck from Florida here to. I hope they resolve this soon so you can continue with your journey. Did they do an endoscopy before your surgery? If they did it would have been found.

They did but I was never told about a cyst. Just told I had a pancreatic pouch

I'm trying to stay positive. I just want to go home really lol. Don't like hospitals

Keep a positive mindset and you will be home soon.

I had my surgery on Friday the 6th, and aside from the expected soreness, the only thing I can complain about is this lump at the bottom of my throat. I've tried warm liquids and popscicles, but nothing affects it. I'd feel pretty darn good if it would go away.

I'm sorry they didn't find the cyst prior to surgery, as it would have seemed logical to have removed whilst they were in their the first time. I also had my gallbladder taken out as well as repair of an old Hiatel hernia.

My doc said when he found it he biopsied it but the position of the cyst, taking it out now would make my stomach too narrow so he kept it in :( have you talked to your doctor about your lump to see if there's anything they can do

I had my sleeve on the 5th as well. No issues thus far however I am starving. I am hungry. I thought that the sleeve was also suppose to remove the hunger feeling.

I'm hungry too. But I haven't been able to have any liquids until today

I wish you the best of luck. At least you are getting over the hump now.

Hope things are getting better with you... Had my surgery in the same hospital. Had some trouble bouncing back from surgery as well. But ultimately with the right attitude, lots and lots of patience, and with Dr. Feiz's guidance I finally got well.

I guess we are the bottom small percentages that have complications and longer recovery time. I'm at point in my journey where I'm finally out of the tunnel, and hoping you're at least seeing the light. :-)

That's awesome that we have the same surgeon. I'm still recovering and only on liquids but at least I can keep most my liquids down now lol. When did you have surgery?
