RJ, that is a frightening tale. So glad you are on the road to recovery. I can't believe you don't regret it, however! What were your symptoms, and how long after your sleeve surgery did this occur? Thanks.

I mentioned my symptoms in a post above....

And no I would do it all again..I am not lying it has been a miracle for me to have done this and come this far.....The reason I tell my story is because so many people say I am soooooooo ready for this..And I know out of experience that you never are truly ready and you never know enough...The cards are dealt and and you lay them down as you experience this life changing journey.... :)

You are a walking miracle. You have stayed positive thru all of your trials and tribulations. You truly inspire me. I hope to have an outlook and attitude as you do thru my journey. ( I've read several of your post and comments)

May I ask you some questions? If so, my questions are below

How long after surgery did you start having complications?

are you able to eat now?

Do you exercise yet?

Are you feeling better?

How long are you post op now?

Where did you have your surgery? And your surgeons name?

Are you in the Dallas area ?

I started to feel unwell after 3 days...had the surgery Nov.6th 2012 and was in surgery on Nov.12th

I can eat and drink fine now...I have trouble with beef, white meat on chicken and pork..Other then that there are some foods I don't like and some I love like fish any kind of fish...

I walk as much as I can..I am hoping this spring that I will be well enough to hire a trainer to help rebuild muscle mass and exercise more

I am 13 months post op

Deippe N.B Canada

My surgeon was tops and treated me like a queen and never gave up on me..He and his team worked their butts to save me..And they did!!!!!!!

So no I am not near Dallas.... ;)

If you look at my profile you can see the surgeons name..it is French so I have trouble spelling it

RJ your are truly an amazing person and I too am very thankful that you have been kind enough to share your story. I pray that 2014 will be full of many blessings and healing. I did have some regrets after surgery just because I was overwhelmed with pain and not being able to take in fluids & oh and lets not forget about the gas pains. However, since I have been reading post on this forum I feel much better and thankful to have you all as pals :) :) :)

      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!!

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

      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! 😞
