Just got home left ama today about 12 days i actuallybdies and they had to shocknme and intabate me.. The damn drs had 4 bags of potassium running at once you would think they would have figured it out but instead they wanted to blame it on a medication ive been on since 2010 never had issues like the dizzy spells pasing out seizures ect until my surgery. So please go in and get ur levels checked on a regular basis im actually thinkiing about asking if they think it would bbe best to have mine reversed.

Reversed? If you're speaking about the sleeve or RNY those can't be reversed.

RNY can be reversed. It's one of the "pros" of choosing that surgery over sleeve, although it is almost never actually done.

To the OP: It's not really clear from your post what happened. Are you doing better now?

So you were hospitalized for a Vitamin deficiency? How far post-op are you?

AH! yes, that's right. Sorry, haven't had my coffee yet. Like you said, reversals aren't done much. But, sleeve is not reversible. My new buddy for life.

I had surgery a few years ago

You mentioned wanting to have your surgery reversed, which isn't actually an option for sleeve. But do you think that if your surgery were reversed you'd somehow do a better job of getting in your Vitamins and Protein? What are your barriers to getting in your Vitamins and Protein with your sleeve?

      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.

        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!
