Back In The Hospital Again



Recommended Posts

Sorry I keep forgeting my itouch isn't working,and I'm trying to reply.

I'm sorry your having problems. I hope soon you will be feeling better. I know it must be horrible,but even though I didn't have the gastric bypass yet. I know how you feel,because with my last pregnancy I ran into complication so of course no one but you won't understand,and you don't wanna hear crap. I had swollen feet for over 1 week,and I had a nurse in the house to watch over me. I couldn't walk my feet were like football so I can understand. I was in pain,and even had to call my mother to come cook for me. I can tell you that I feel things will get better soon. It will take time but you will be fine in the long run. I took me like a month for me to bond with my now 2 year old. I look at my baby,and say "it was worth having you".. I went threw a blood transfusion,swollen feet,bleeding in the incision,my body got swollen also. I never ever had blood pressure,but my pressure was high for a while. I was in bad shape. Sending you hugs.

I am 4 weeks out last Friday. I can honestly say that I haven't really felt great since day one after surgery. Last night I developed pain in chest. It was horrible and it continued every time I tried to eat anything or lay down. Called doc to said he thought something was stuck in pouch or opening. Told me to get meat tenderizer and warm Water and SIP for a hour 6 oz. I didn't even get in 15 mins before started vomiting badly. Now I feel weak and dehydrated. I'm still wondering what have I done to myself. On the up side, if there is one....I have lost 42 pounds since I left the hospital.

This sounds very similar to the problems im having. A bit of buyers remorse on my end

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
