My sleeve revision to bypass was done in Mexico 4 weeks ago. Performed by the same surgeon who did my sleeve. He was great with the sleeve so I went back.
I had lots of post-op pain the days following the procedure. Surgeons went back in to do an endoscopy to check for a leak, but found no leak. They said I was actually constipated (sorry TMI) and likely causing the pain.
Once returned hone I developed a post-op infection, went to see a general surgeon who gave me antibiotics for a superficial infection and said that was all I needed. Thankfully it wasn’t a deep infection.
I have had so much difficulty getting anything in. I carry Gatorade zero around with me all day, as well as water and protein drink. I’m so thirsty but it hurts to drink much through the day. I do still try. I’m not getting in my protein, but am getting in my Barimelt vitamins!
The abdominal pain has increasingly gotten worse over the past week. I’m curled up in a ballin bed, and my gastric area is sensitive to the touch.
Any thought/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
