- Sleeved or not sleeved:
- I have had a gastric sleeve.
- Biography:
- I have recently had the gastric sleeve. I did end up going through some problems right after surgery but had nothing to do with the surgery. It's now been 3 weeks out and I'm still having some pain but within the past day or 2 it's really been easing up...hell if I can handle gettin hit by a bull this pain I'm havin now is a breeze. If you are considering gastric sleeve I would say GO FOR IT!!!!! I have wanted some kind of weight loss for the past 12 years and finally got it together and did it. Would I change my mind if I knew what all issues I would be dealing with after?? It would be tough but no I still would've gone through with it.
The problems I had after surgery (so you know it had nothing to do with surgery) was - I had a hemoratic cyst on my ovary that ruptured and my appendix was getting infected. So 3 days after they fixed a hidal hernia, removed gallbladder and did my gastric sleeve I was back in the er with pain that went waaaay above the pain level chart trying to figure out what was goin on...2 days after visiting the er I was back in surgery getting the blood suctioned and appendix removed.
******So as you can see the 2nd surgery had NOTHING to do with the first surgery.
Please if you have any questions feel free to email me. I will answer any questions you may have.
-Thanks

Hello guys!!! So my passing out phase is back!!! I passed out in front of a customer today - totally embarrassed. Anyways I had some deluted orange juice this morning with a protein bar and then had a side salad with a couple pieces of chicken for lunch....now dinner as well. I spoke with my doctor about it and he mentioned I need a stress test. Only 2 things I can think it might be....STRESS or the food intake. After I passed out my customer gave me a piece of sugarfree gum which seemed to help
