First Post - Revised Sept. 1st



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. :-)

My Story:

After being sleeved on 8/12/13, I had complications with nonstop vomiting. No matter what I ate or drank, it would get stuck and come right back up. A balloon dilation, 2 surgeries, and after being hospitalized for 2 weeks, I was finally revised to RNY last Sunday morning.

Even though this wasn't my initial plan, I'm still upbeat and looking forward to dropping these pounds!!! *Whoop*

Good luck to you all!!! ;-)

HW: 317

Pre-Op: 298

First Surgery Date: 289

CW: 283

Goal: 170

Totally agree with soccermomma73, you do deserve a break, so sleeve2RNY keep that positive attitude you are an inspiration to those of us that are having surgery. Just keep us posted and how you are doing.

I surely will! Unfortunately, I had to be apart of the small percent of WLS community to have complications. Its just a few extra bumps in the road.

That's great! We have to keep in touch. I feel fine for the most part. I had pain on my left side, but regular Tylenol helps with that. I'm fine with getting my liquids in...I'm just having trouble getting in Protein. But, it's getting easier.

How are you feeling?

I"m tired all the time. And I find I have to move slower than normal. I'm also taking tylenol to help with incisional pain and it helps.

As for eating, I've been on clear fluids all along. But as of an hour ago, i've started experimenting with my first Protein shake. I want to start incorporating full liquids and thicker Soups into my diet. I don't really have any issues with drinking Water which is great.

And yes we absolutely have to keep in touch.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
