Hello, New To Site... 6 Days Post Op Band To Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello here from Dallas/ Fort Worth, I was told about this site from a good friend of mine. I'm six days out still very sore and seems to be sharp gas pains anytime I drink more than a few sips.. Normal?? Also, how are you guys getting all the fluids in? Any Vitamins you recommend over others? I was told a chewable multi and b-12 for under tounge... I'm sorry I'm rambling I think cabin fever is surely starting to kick in... Thanks ;)

I live in Dallas. Today is day 5 for me. Just got out of the hospital yesterday. I stayed a little longer because of spasm in the esophagus. Feeling great now.

I like Ungury everything. Their Vitamins and Protein powder.

Today was the first day I could get in all my liquid. And only drank one and a half shake. It was an all day task. Sip sip sip.

I don't go back to work till the first week in December. I don't really know how that will work but will make do somehow.

I feel amazing so I have the tendency to over do. Need to rest more.

Can't wait till I can eat meat!

Wish you the best. T

I'm in Dallas also. Dr Jeffrey Henke did my sleeve a week ago - Wed 11/13. He's in practice with Dr. Joseph Kuhn, who is better known. I haven't had any difficulty getting my Water / Protein in since post op day 2. I'm going back to work tomorrow.

The Vitamins I like are from CelebrateVitamins.com, and the Protein shakes I like best - actually, the only ones I can stand - are Premier Protein chocolate. I actually like them!

Welcome to the group! Everyone has been VERY supportive, and very helpful.

      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!!
