My surgery did not happen on the 12th



Recommended Posts

I was all prepped, rolled into or, I was given a dose of a common routine antibiotic called ancef, seconds later i was vomiting, my entire body was brought red and burning, my tongue and throat swelled up and couldn't breathe. As far as I knew I was not allergic to any meds, now I know different. It was the scariest thing I've ever been through. My surgery is rescheduled for the 28th, with no antibiotics.

Oh terrifying! But if you had to have a reaction, you were in the best possible place to get help!

Hang in there, it will come out right in the end.

Whoa! I'm so sorry you had to go through that. My husband is allergic to some of the meds they use for surgery as well, but his throat doesn't swell up, just constant vomiting, itching, etc for a couple days. So I sort of understand what you went through.

I did have my sleeve done on the 28th! I feel good, everything went great! It was better and less stressful after Christmas! Let the journey begin.

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

      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! 😞
