Recommended Posts

I had a sleeve done on March 23rd. Went from Water on day one. Then I went to Clear liquids before I left which was 5 days got to drink one Protein shake. I knew right off the bat something was wrong. I couldn't take in as much as they wanted me to I began to dehydrate after 3 weeks I went to my urine was unbelievable they tried to stick me with an IV 5 times they couldn't get it that doctor sent me home I was frightened because of the color of my urine. The next day I managed to get squeezed in to see the doctor. Immediately send me to the infusion room 4 to liters of Fluid. The Specialist there who put in IVs tried to stick Me 3 times they were not successful. Now I was in danger my veins were collapsing from dehydration. The doctor said to put in a PICC line which I have now I give myself a bag of Fluid at home everyday my bladder hurts I can't keep more than 2 ounces in my stomach. They did a GI series with a discovered the middle of my small pouch had narrowed and they don't know why and I don't know how they're going to fix it so I'm back on liquids for at least another 3 weeks. Here's a picture of my bladder urinepost-289862-14607745050288_thumb.jpg

My surgeon explained to me that sometimes there can be a narrowing of the remaining stomach; I have experienced the same symptoms, but not to the extreme you have. He explained to me that occasionally that area needs to be stretched out through endoscopy. I hope the best for you. I can only imagine how you just feel.

@@my eyes are hungry If you have a stenosis the simplest way to fix stomal stenosis is with a procedure called endoscopic dilation. Your doctor will perform an endoscopy and inflate a special balloon into the new connection to your stomach, to make it bigger. If that's indeed what is wrong?

Im no doctor but I wish someone had told me that I might not be able to tolerate plain Water. Try apple juice watered down, crystal light, ginger tea ( make sure you strain it), Decaf tea. Using these tricks I was able to get more fluids in. I hope things turn around for you soon!
