Internal bleeding after gastric sleeve

[lse5237 4]

Hi. I am 7 days post op. I still don’t feel like I got the Protein and liquid down yet. I am getting better bit by bit everyday but still struggling. It probably is because of lack of experience.

I had an internal bleeding after sleeve surgery. I felt extreme dizziness after the surgery. My blood pressure went up and blood count kept going down, which was the sign of internal bleeding. Thankfully, my doctor was calm and he said I have to be hospitalized a few more days but not to be too alerted.

Also I didn’t have to get blood transfusion in the end but I was very close. I am out of hospital for three days now. Just a bit feeling weak overall and not feel as bright as I should feel since I haven’t felt that great after the hospital. I mean I am not pessimistic about the surgery, my decision, or the future result. Just feeling a bit down because if difficulties of meeting the requirements Does anybody share similar feelings?

Complications are scary. You never imagine yourself having them...and when you do...it kinda gives you a jolt of reality...that this thing that we're all doing is very serious. I think your reaction is very understandable.

Wishing you an uneventful recovery from here on out:)

Wishing you smooth sailing from here on out! So glad the bleeding was caught early and addressed.

I really don’t think they should send people home so soon so they can catch this stuff easier. I’m glad they did for you. I am praying that you have smoother recovery.
