Complications

[krae_98 21]

Being an RN I was fully aware of the fact that the sleeve is major surgery. However part of me thought my procedure would be routine because I did everything perfectly. I didn't cheat once on my pre op instructions, etc. Yet here I sit, with major swelling due to a bled and having to have 2 transfusions. Thankfully the nausea and gas pains have subsided but the pain from the massive bruising is what hurts now. Now it's just wait and see. Thank you for reading my self pity whine.

Omg I'm sorry for your rough time. Sometimes these things happen, as you know as an RN, I'm also an RN. Don't let this discourage you, you will get pumped back up and be on your way to recovery very soon! Hang in there....

Seeing everything at text book and then not experiencing it yourself is difficult. Am a 6/1 sleever and still am feeling recovery pretty hard. Definitely not as easy as other make it out to be.

Going slow is ok. Will be back to normal in no time.

Here's to your strength!
