Gastric Sleeve Surgery 1/20 with Dr. Nguyen at Overlake hospital I had my gall bladder removed as well as a unexpected hernia removed! I am feel great no issues thus far and I'm keeping down all fluids

@@CuriouslyAmazed Congratulations on getting the surgery! Glad things went well! ????

@@CuriouslyAmazed Congrats & Best of luck on your journey. Best decision of my life (next to marrying my hubby, of course!)

Congrats! Keep us updated on your new journey!!

Thank you!!

I ended up have my drain pouch removed from my stomach 2 days early because I was experiencing shortness of breath, I woke up gasping for air.. My Dr removed the drain and also sent me to the hospital for Ct scans with and with out contrast, X-rays and leg ultra sound to rule out blood clots.. All tests were negative.. I am now resting peacefully sipping on fluids and puréed food.. 1 more week then I can enjoy soft foods. Good luck to everyone..

Wow sorry to hear that you had some difficulties. Fortunately my doctor doesn't do drains. But it seems like the people who do get them progress faster through their diet plans. I was sleeved on the 22nd and will be on clear liquids until at least Feb. 9th. ????

#storibrown I totally get it I can't wait to get to the next stage!! The drain would have been out day of my discharge from the hospital but because I ended up with 3 surgeries at one time he wanted to be sure I got no infection it made me feel comfortable because I could see it. And knew what to look out for..Thank goodness I'm over that part!

Since I had to do the 2wk pre op diet I feel like I've been on liquids forever!!
