Recommended Posts

After suffering all weekend. I ended up in the emergency room. With pain.

I have had a blood gas and there is infection in my blood stream. We are waiting for further bloods. I have quite a severe infection somewhere in my stomach. I'm not sure if its sepsis yet.

I've been admitted. And waiting for the surgical team to see me as they think it's my gallbladder infected? Or something.

I thought it might be my gallbladder but I was embarrassed to come in incase it was gas. I've been feeling so Ill but thought with a sleeve and not eating much I thought I'm 11 weeks in and just getting used to things.

I need to not be hard on myself. I've been crying doubled over in pain all weekend. But kept thinking I'm just being silly. As soon as I got Here they brought me straight in and gave me morphine. The consultant Dr even said I had a high pain threshold when I was getting the blood gas done so she said I should have come straight in as I was crying it was that bad

Anyone notice anything out the ordinary always go in. :)

I have fluids in my drip. Waiting for iv antibiotics.

On the positive I still love my sleeve my blood pressure was normal today! ( I used to Suffer from high bb that would be even worse if I'm in pain or in Hosp.

The consultant asked me why I had a sleeve I said " because I was fat " she said " you don't look fat at all!! Well I suppose you were 11 weeks ago " its nice to not look as fat.

How are things ?

Thank you for asking mama.

I'm exhausted.

I saw the surgeon and he said my CRP is 98 it was 1 two weeks ago. This shows infection or inflammation.

I had one dose of antibiotics then they decided to stop the antibiotics till a CT scan had been done. He thinks my sleeve could be inflamed also . its just speculation right now.

Its 4.37am I'm on my third bag of Fluid. And on strong pain meds.

I'm so tired . I told them after all this I hope I don't develop a complex about eating. As even sipping Water is not comfortable.

:) keeping positive

ERM.. My problem is not sleeve related.. Although they spoke to my surgeon who wants me to do a barium swollow at some point just incase.

They did find something unfortunately. I'm in shock right now. I have to have a biopsy and some other things.

Thanks anyway for your support. Will let the thread die now as its now known not to be the sleeve.

Prayers for a great recovery. I waited, a couple weeks ago, with incredible pain -- had a very large kidney stone resulting in surgery unexpectedly. How glad we are that you got in and are going to be great. And kudos on 11 weeks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
