No issues or complications!



Recommended Posts

I had surgery on Dec 30. I had no pain no gas no discomfort at all!! Anesthesia was my only issue. Once that was out of my system, it was like I had no surgery!! I can drink as much Water as I want with no discomfort. I am taking 85 grams of Protein per day, Wondering if the docs really performed surgery on me.....

Anyone else have it this easy or am I lucky? I'm starting to get concerned about no restrictions...

Lucky, I thought the same but found out the hard way. It was almost too good to be true! Be cautious and follow plan!

I did not have complications from my surgery and was able to take large swallows without any problems. However, I would suggest you slow down a little. You are newly sleeved and your body needs time to heal. Follow your doctors plan. As for the restrictions...you will start to feel the sleeve when you start eating solid foods.

Hi. We should be buddies on our progress since my surgery was December 30. Like you, I have no problem at all and I can drink anything with no problem. I hope it will continue this way once we start soli food etc. Have you lost any lbs?

I too had surgery on Dec. 30- but I have had a few problems here and there. The first few days I had horrible gas pains and vomited about once a day. Then after day 3 I have been great. I do feel restriction sometimes after eating Jello. I can drink liquid with no issue. Today, i began full liquid. I was a bit nervous at first but had no issues. So far, I've lost 16lbs since the day of surgery. :)

      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!!
