Hello all, I have make the choice not to tell anyone about my surgery other than my husband. If I could get by without telling him, I would have! Lol. I also had a hiatal hernia repair so I told my kids and close family that I was going in for a hernia repair. I was sleeved a week ago today. I have had some complications but still am not regretting the decision. I went to the er 2 days ago because I literally felt as if I was dying. Not pain wise but so weak and dizzy and couldn't keep any protien down. Turned out it was a good thing I went because 2 days later and I'm still here. I was severely dehydrated and was merobolic acidosis. Did another swallow test this morning in hopes of going home but doc kept me because my stomach was so swollen it was like it was closed and that's why everything was coming back up. He said i need to slow but constantly sip clear liquids. So they are on me every half hour to make sure I have sipped at least 5 oz of fluid. I prefer ice chips bc they don't hurt when they get to my stomach. Apparently they know how many ice chips equal 5oz of liquid. It's constant chomping let me tel u. Every hour or so I'll take one the half hours to do juice or tea. Anyway, if I pass the swallow test tomorrow and have no nausea today I can go home ! Anyway, point of this is to get feedback and comments from my fellow closet sleeves. Keep calm and sip on y'all!!
