Sleeved then got sick 3 days later?



Recommended Posts

Anyone else go through this? It has been horrible!!!! Up front, thanks for letting me whine and vent.

I was just sleeved on 10/20, Monday. Came home Tuesday, I did have some pain and a ton of gas pains that made it hard to eat or drink anything. Slowly getting better on Wednesday, and then Bam! Thursday I wake up with the worst sore throat, inner ear, head thing ever! I call my surgeon, (1.5 hours away) and they say go to urgent care. That doc says I have some type of viral crud, nothing she could do. Not much coughing, but mostly my throat is so swollen and sore that it hurts to eat or drink anything. Now I have this lovely fever, but not a fever (99.4) where I'm sweating but freezing at the same time, so basically I'm up to my chin in blankets, and anytime I try to stick a limb out to cool off, it freezes. You should see my trying to write this right now. I have been so tired that I've barely been able to get out of bed to do the walking I'm supposed to, and have been sleeping off and on since then. I'm feeling very frustrated right now and mad that I got sick so soon after surgery that I'm not having a good time at all. I know i have to just let it run its course, but seriously?!

Thanks for letting me whine/vent!!

Hey Michael,

How is everything going? I was sleeved on October 20th. I came home from the hospital on Wednesday. Every 2 hours, I get cramping in my stomach. I don't know if I am not eating enough or whats going on. Any suggestions?

The good news is, all the stuff you are supposed to be "eating" now is stuff that should help you feel better! Lots of Water, some Decaf tea and broth!! Gets lots of rest and listen to your body as far as doing walking - I wouldn't force it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
