Kinda scared..problems with sleeve



Recommended Posts

@@ZombieQueen - how are you doing today?

Did you call your doctors office and see about moving up your appointment?

I agree that you need to look at possible dehydration. Are you on any BP meds? My BP dropped significantly after about a 25 lb loss - made me feel like crap.

My husband has accompanied me thus far... But there has been so much outside stressors... I haven't gone to the recommended sessions yet but I will. Probably next week. I guess I just want to see the results of the endoscopy. I want the sleeve, but I'm scared they're going to see signs of acid reflux, which means I'll have to have the rue n y

No, it doesn't necessarily mean that. It depends on both your surgeon and the degree of reflux you have - if you have reflux. Try to relax, getting anxious won't do anything but make you miserable. Nobody needs that.

Hey Jane, thanks for checking in. As of now not yet, I had plans to but forgot an then to top it off woke up super sick today. Its weird because I had my flu shot but I guess it doesn't always work! I have no strength what so ever, been fighting to keep moving and exercising all day, my bodys killing me. I did not expect to feel worse then what I already did but its really getting very wintery and cold here so I should've been a bit more prepared. I'm so glad you reminded me of this cause I have not even thought about it all day today. Just trying to focus on getting my liquids in an doing some walking. Been sucking on halls all day for my sore throat and trying not to throw up whatever I eat. Tonight before bed I'll be sure to set an alarm on my phone with a note to call and reschedule. Let them know whats going on with me and hopefully find out soon. When I do I'll try an update you guys! Thanks again.

And I'm alone. My husband is so scared for me. But I would rather die than be so obese.

It would also be a good idea to have your husband go to a couple of support group meetings with you. It'll do both of you good to be face to face with others who share or have shared the same concerns. His questions and concerns will receive the same courtesy and consideration as yours.

I am at almost 2 months also and had the same problem with nausea added in. Mine was dehydration. I really pounded the Water for a couple of days and the symptoms went away. I also struggle with getting in all the Protein and fluids but have found the Fluid to be more important. Also someone here posted about GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder and it has been a godsend. It has 30 grams of Protein in a small scoop. I mix that into refried Beans, chili or eggs and that way I get the protein grams in even if I can't eat 3 full meals.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
