No leak test done??
Dec 15, 2015
Hi everyone. I am 5 days post op and doing well! Just today i was able to get up to 60g of protien. Yay!!
I am concerned that my surgeon did not do a leak test before or after being discharged? Dont they always do this type of test? I asked him specifically during my stay and he told me he doesn't do them. Any thoughts?
Discharge Complications?
Dec 12, 2015
Well, I made it. Had to stay an extra day because when they went to remove my stomach it burst inside and I needed to be on antibiotics. Has anyone here experienced that?
Also, any suggestions on how to get the full 80g of proteins? Thanks everyone!!-
Help? Cheat Day :(
Dec 07, 2015
I am 3 days away from my surgery, and this past weekend I had my Christmas Party for work.
My meal was suppose to be a cream soup (as my 2 week pre op is 3 shakes per day, broth, etc.) But they did not have that info (everything was pre ordered in advance) and I was served a Grilled Chicken breast, garden salad, and sweet potatoes.. Not ideal, but I felt bad that the owner (very frugal) was across the table from me. So I praticed my chewing skills and had most of the salad (no dressing), the chicken and a few bites of sweet potatoes. I skipped the dessert and had water to drink. That evening I felt like crap!!! I am back on my shakes and normal pre op routine. Will this "cheat" affect anything with my surgery? Has anyone been through something like this? Your opinion matters to me and I appreciate any comments... good or bad. Thanks!!
Different Size of Sleeves??
Dec 01, 2015
I was told by my docs that my sleeve would be the size of a small banana.. I have read that they are made in different sizes? If anyone could give some insight to this I would greatly appreciate it. Surgery 12/10/2015!!!!
