Gastric sleeve led to splenectomy



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on the 21st Dec 2016, on the 23rd I was vomiting and in pain, the surgeon had cut my spleen and I had lost 4.7 litres of blood. More surgery and spleen removed. My problem is I don't know what is sleeve symptoms and what are splenectomy. It has been 3 weeks. I am always tired, hardly eat and break out in sweats. How are/were others after 3 weeks? Not sure how I am supposed to be feeling.

I was the same way after 3 weeks. I got dizzy really easy and would be close to passing out. I was really weak and could barely leave the house. It was REALLY hard getting fluids in let alone Protein but it got better. I just had to really buckle down and make sure i was holding a bottle of Water at all times. Just make sure your resting a lot. Your body has been through a lot. You lost a lot of blood. Just make sure your resting and sipping that's all that matters. Try really small sips through the day. Hope this helps

Yes totally peed off. Now on antibiotics 3 x per day for next 2 years...huge cut from sternum to pubic, adult student and had to drop out of a course I was doing for my degree due to this. He was the head of the surgery department, took a week to get some sort of an apology. The fact they also discharged me when I was complaining of illness. Even worse we live rural, had to call ambulance, took 2 hrs to get to me.....they called air helicopter, flown straight to resuscitation. One big frickin' mess!!

That is terrible! I hope you recovery fully and don't have any long term effects from this. But I agree about hiring a lawyer! Jeez!

As for your question, fatigue is pretty common with sleeve. I was exhausted for the first 3-4 weeks at least. Once you progress to more solid foods and can get more calories in, that should help give you a bit more energy.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
