I am having surgery 12/16/14 and I am so nervous it's crazy! I think it's because I work on the surgical floor that cares for all the post op sleeve patients including the ones who have negative experiences. I just cared for a patient who had a VERY bad group of issues related to her sleeve surgery and it was MY surgeon who messed up. Now I am freaked out beyond belief. Prayers would be greatly appreciated. I'm the only parent my daughters have and they need me in tip top shape asap! :)

The complications I see for the most part are dehydration, nausea, & vomiting. For the most part. I have seen in the past few weeks one person who's staples were placed too close inward and could get anything down.. She eventually got better. Another had a bowel torn somehow during surgery.. And lastly a patient was discharged, ate too soon, and ended up with some MAJOR complications. For the most part it's nausea vomiting and dehydration though. I will tell you this though... We see literally at least 5 patients a week with lap band problems,!many of which are very serious. I would NEVER go that route.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
