I had my sleeve surgery on 11/8/2016, i think all of my problems started in the hospital while i was recovering. I was having some belly pain id rate it a 4-5. (Note: my allergies are MORPHINE.) I asked the nurse for something for pain and guess what I got? MORPHINE. So the nausea and vomiting started. I even had Morphine listed on my allergy bracelet WTF. So I asked the nurse what i was given for pain and she said Morphine. I told her i was allergic she said no nausea and vomiting arent an allergy they are a side affect. I didnt want any more of it. So they gave me IV tylenol. I was sent home the next day per my request, I couldnt keep anything down, not even water. so after a week I contacted my doctor and went in for an appointment. He said lets do another procedure, and EGD with balloon. I said anything if its going to help. We did the scope and he said my sleeve was extremely tight, and swollen and it was going to take some time for the swelling to go down. Since the 18th thats when i had the follow up procedure done i have lost 6 more pounds. But as of today I can keep a small amount of mashed potatoes down. It felt so good to actually have something in my belly, But now I am having some slight discomfort. It will pass. Im sorry I havent been on in a while just trying to recuperate and take care of my mom and work. I can see a difference in my face and in my boobs they are both getting smaller..
