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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
