    Hi All, I was sleeve on 8/1/16 tbest decision I ever made I am down 54 pounds. I have a quick question Any ladies having problem with hair lost. When I shower and wash my hair, it is coming out in clumps. Is there anyone facing this problem and is there anything we can take for it. I don't see my surgery again until Feb for my 6 month visit.
    Thanks

    Weird, not sure when nausea and vomiting immediately after getting a drug is no longer considered an allergy. Some people are extremely sensitive to certain medications and you would have thought the medical staff would have wanted to avoid you vomiting. I bet that contributed to the swelling.
    Glad to hear you are on the mend.
  5. I had my sleeve surgery on 11/8/2016, i thing 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..

Mistake!!!

by KariVSG on 12-14-2016 at 05:33 PM
I have had my gastric sleeve on 11/8/2016 and i am freakin miserable. I have lost 48lbs in 36 days. I cant eat, I can barely drink, im so tired and i dont have energy for anything. Im afraid if it keeps going this way I could die. This surgery is nothing like I thought it would be. I dont think I would ever tell anyone to do it. Please do your research on the surgery before you commit to it. There is no reversal and once its done you cant change your mind. My doctor said this will pass, but as

Surgery

by KariVSG on 11-21-2016 at 08:15 AM
Hey everyone i had my surgery on the 8th and have had problem since. I have had to have an additional procedure done on Friday the 18th. I have not been able to keep food or drink down. I went in on the 18 and had my throat re stretched and had a repeat EGD done he said i was super tight and things should start getting better. I cant keep any protein drinks down I can keep some jello but it is very painful. I have been off of work for 2 weeks and today is my first day back.
