100% REGRET THIS SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY

[IM.ON.MY.WEIGH.DOWN 26]

I regret having this surgery I wish I would have never gotten it. I had my sleeve done on August 11th and here it is August 17th and im still in the hospital because nothing stays down. My surgeon found that I had a hiatul hernia and repaired it during surgery. However, I still have not been able to eat or drink after that...so then he does a dialation and what do u know still nothing is going down to my pouch. I now have to get a stent put in my sleeve to see if that allows me to have any kind of success with holding anything down if not then he will perform gastric bypass on me...I dont think anyone can imagine how i feel right now...Have anyone else experienced this or something similiar if so please enlighten me on your journey please because I feel just feel like what i anticipated being the best decision i made in my life turned out to be the very worst decision of my life.

Sorry to hear what happened. I had my sleeve done on the 11th but with no issue. The good thing is longterm u will be happy with the results in spite of the short term complications. Wish u well.

I was sleeved on 8/4 and spent extra time in the hospital because I was unable to keep Water down and had constant dry heaves. I've had anesthesia several times in recent years and have never had nausea, so this was definitely sleeve related. I second guessed my choice a million time in those days. I had every kind of nausea medicine, and finally got some relief from Xanax, of all things. Even now almost two weeks later, things don't go down well...I'm certainly not yelling "love my sleeve!!!" Like most people I see on here. But this is my journey, and I am determined to see it through. Hang in there and just take it one day at a time. Don't give up yet, we all have our own journey.

Did the doctor say what caused your complications? Has he/she done many sleeve surgeries?

I am so sorry for your pain. You are experiencing what I fear most about this surgery. How long would you have the stint in?

[Goddardgo 90]

Ahh man! I am sorry to hear about this! I was sleeved a little over 3 weeks ago, and so far so good.. with the exception of possibly tearing a stich. I hope you start feeling better and turn out happy with your decision. Again, I am sorry for your complication. Keeping you in my prayers.

Hello,

I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. I had some difficulty where there was so much swelling I couldn't get anything into my sleeve either. I was in the hospital for 5 days on iv's. When released I couldn't get more than 8 oz of Water in in 24 hours and I have also had excessive pain. I am just over 4 weeks out and still have a lot of pain on my right side. I have also had buyers remorse but I did not have to convert to bypass. Hopefully that is a good alternative for you and you will lose faster than with the sleeve. I know this is not much help. I hope everything is resolved for you soon. Please take care, it has to get better.
