Hi, how are you getting on?

Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I'm doing much better unfortunately I didn't do great the first few weeks I was sent back to the hospital twice for dehydration after I had the surgery but, the doctor said sometimes it happens and some people just need a little help in the beginning. My only suggestion to anyone is keep drinking all day even when you are not thirsty... as my doctor would say you must be a persistent sipper. Remeber if you have to choose between food and drinking always drink.

Glad to hear you're doing better, and thanks for the advise about Water. So sorry to hear you were so poorly early on. I'm worried how it'll be for me but everyone's experiences are so varied I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Hope you carry on improving and everything goes well now

Sorry to hear that you were really sick post op

But thanks for the heads up, this is the sort of info we need so we know how to look after ourselves post op. Doctors can not tell you how you well be after surgery, but from the support on hear will be my of having that Sleeve family support. Thank you to everyone for not sugar coating your experiences. :-)
