Hi I'm Christina. I was sleeved 6/15/15. I've lost 24lbs and 11 1/2" so far. I've had a few complications that have had me pretty down and depressed. Apparently this is supposed to get better eventually.

Welcome to BariatricPal. You are in the right place. I am so sorry to hear about your complications. You will feel better. It is not uncommon to feel blue after surgery as we are going through a tremendous physical and emotional change. Plus our hormones will be out of whack for a while.

Just focus on healing. Get in all your Protein and Water, walk and rest. Just keep sipping.

Thank you. I have a very hard time getting enough fluids or protein because of pain and depression. I've been in the er twice in 3 weeks for iv fluids due to dehydration. things just still look so grim in my future. I have a hard time being positive ????

Welcome and congratulations on your loss so far!

@@MrsDixon I am sorry to hear that you are depressed about your complications. Hopefully your surgical team will get you feeling better soon.

This website is full of wonderful encouraging people with a variety of stories of success after complications. I would suggest you browse the boards to find such stories. Also, I would suggest youtube as a source of motivation in your journey. Just type in wls vsg in the search box and find a couple of people to follow on their journey. I would suggest watching the videos oldest to newest so that you can see the progression as it happens.

Good luck to you Mrs Dixon. I hope that you get to feeling better soon!
