I was sleeved on the 15th



Recommended Posts

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.

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!

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. :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
