Band to Sleeve 6 weeks Post OP

[JJ's 2]

Date of Surgery 12/27/21

The plan was to have band removed and sleeve done on the same day, what was not planned was the removal of 6 inches of intestines because of blockage due to scar tissue from previous surgery, was inpatient for 5 days.

Week 1 at home was a struggle with gas and just being overall uncomfortable,

Week 2 a little better but still not comfortable probably to be expected I know right

Week 3: small celebration something close to non liquid food, which my body rejected so there went that joy

Week 4: body accepting non liquid food but oh does it make me pay for it (stabbing paid at to of abdomen, explosive bowel movements

Week 5: Nausea, vomiting or some form of vomiting since its more motion but nothing coming up, so it is extremely painful and my stomach is sore to the touch

Week 6: Repeat week 5

Does anyone know what can be done to help with the stabbing feeling following eating and sometimes drinking it is crippling

You need to get in touch with your surgeon. This is not what you should be experiencing after sleeve surgery but it could be something to expect after having some of your intestines removed. Regardless your surgeon is best to advise on how to manage what you’re experiencing.

Hope you get answers & relief soon.

Yes I agree with @arabesque that you need to consult your surgeon's office as this shouldn't be this bad this far after surgery.
