Hey guys... I'm bout almost two weeks post op, I was sleeved on 15th and just found rather difficult to post my progress while I adjust to the procedure

First let me start off that I had some complications and had to spend some additional time in the hospital, after the surgery I spent my regular planned recovery time of 3 days at Pennsylvania Hospital Bariatric wing and then I went home Sunday the 19th.. started my fluids and Protein and that's going fine I guess.. it's just that I'm all over the place with getting my fluids and protein in as in theirs no schedule. So regarding my complication... it seems that every time I stood on my feet and moved to the other room... my heart rate shot up to 140-160 and I was short of breath. Made a doctors appointment and I was admitted to the ER and put under observation and had a cat scan done because I had the symptoms of a blood clot or pulmonary embolism but the scans shows I had a hematoma where my sleeve is and the cause of that was from my blood thinners.

So I guess the heparin was working a little too good because of the blood thinners and whatever blood vessel that were cut and still healing was the cause of the bleeding. I came home on Christmas Eve

DANG! Hang in there. Sounds like you had a bumpy start, but I hope you have smoother sailing from here on out!

Take it easy and rest up my man. I hated giving myself those shots.

I think I'm doing okay

Bummer that you had to stay in the hospital for more than one night. I know I couldn't get any rest while I was there - they don't let you. I do miss that Dilaudid, though......

At least you're home now and can start your new life. Best wishes!

I'm so sorry get better

How do you feel now? I was sleeved on 12/22 and came home yesterday. My hemoglobin was real low.

I'm feeling better from those symptoms... much better after I was told to stop the heparin

Great to hear. I hope for your speedy recovery. We made some lentil Soup (blenderized and strained) and that is real good to replenish hemoglobin. I also made a juice with apple, orange, kale, carrots and beets. I plan to sip on that this afternoon. I got clearance from Dr before and I think you should too.

I had surgery on the 15th of Dec. Sent home on blood thinners injections. I started bruising after 6 days on the blood thinners and the Dr. Took me off. Struggleling with constipation and Protein shake burn out. Any suggestions?
