Recommended Posts

Thanks for the add . As of today 1-19-20 ,I have never been so sick malnutrition and loosing quality of life .

I was banned 10-09 and for 9 yrs I lost 80-90 lbs ( also the most stressful yrs as an adult I might add ) ... fast forward 2 yrs ago I was gaining weight back rapidly yet it wasn’t from food Fluid retained in soft tissue 🤷🏻‍♀️
my doctor moved along to the modern sleeve no longer dealt with the band , passed me on to a p a with not any hands on band issues ... by the next two months I was sick and balloons up to 200 pounds At 4”11 ... and I COULD NOT FIND A DOC IN SOUTH JERSEY TO REMOVE

2 bands the band and realize NOT MANY with much knowledge of the realize ..

I go to a well known east coast heart hospital finally a nice understanding Dr. who agreed to remove the band and sleeve so the date comes 5-17-18 (paperwork similar ) no psych no vit shots ... the nutritionist and ins wait ..

I go in all is ok from what I remember the next day I am complaining of itching hands head n eyes “nurse perhaps pain meds “

me I have other issues and have n do take meds this is different .. over looked n discharged 2 days later the rash (still have 2-4x weekly) from inside out now hubby can see n watch spread .. a black bubble on lower abdomen appears go to doc he calls in augmenting infection (pill was a weeks of food to me ) by 2 more days another bubble yet bigger appears in the pain as of kidney stones to the hospital I go m r I and they can’t touch me immediate transfer to I c u at the Bariatric doc request .. 5 clots nicked liver spleen and rash Entire body inside out ... 7 wks and was told I had the HIT .. heparin induced blood clots

me in aww they run in family NOT U HEPRIN DID IT 42 days of it and a rash yet antibiotic n dilution 4 mlg 2 hrs ...i Finally asked a nurse to see labs day 3 playlets drop

no wbc hi at all

confused hemotolgy the head of liver center are now on board ... the rash source still in k own

yet in may of 19 lost 25 lbs since surgery I become soo tired and acting out of character my neuro sends me to hosp labs show NO THIAMIE AND TOO MUCH B 12

i might not be here 2- days I slept Endo by hospital g I doc confirms NO BAND OR SLEEVE ???
second opinion last week Endo n colonoscopy done

NOW WHAT THE DOCTOR LEFT STATE

I AM 104 lbs and pain as I try to eat solids before even finished .. limited liquids more bad then good days , was accused of drug use as I would stand n sleep ... act out of the norm , so off , yet no one believed me until July I called and said admit me n find out why I am loosing 5 lbs a week vomit diahrea all day ..

almost dead I am mal nourished , stomach only absurbs liquid vit and DOCTOR LEAVES I HAVE ISSUES DAILY MIGRANES STOMACH PAINS ALONG WITH NEUROPATHY ON RIGHT SIDE LIFE IS A STRUGGLE DAILY ...

whatever is going on with you is incredibly rare. We almost never hear about this kind of thing. Sorry you're going through this.

I’m struggling to decipher what you have written. You had the band removed and thought you were sleeved but you weren’t ? Is that right? You are struggling to eat or drink. I find it hard to believe that a surgeon has diagnosed you with a twisted stomach and not fixed it. Normally a twisted stomach would be a medical emergency as the loss of blood flow would cause necrosis, infection and ultimately death.

And this has been going on since 2018? Please tell me what I’m missing.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
