Hi there, it's been almost two weeks since my revision and I'm still getting my nutrition and hydration from my PICC line. I wake up crying and in pain and I go to sleep the same way. I'm at a loss for words this morning except to say, I wish I could go back to the day before my first surgery. I'm losing weight but I'm so unhappy and severely uncomfortable. I know I can't turn back time but this is way too much to handle. Everything that can happen that's not good is happening. Any advice I'm exhausted, 19 weeks out tomorrow. ???
What complications led to the revision and what is continuing to cause problems after the revision that you are still on the PICC line? I am so so sorry for everything that you have gone through and are going through. I hope that things improve for you soon. Do you have emotional support in your immediate circle at home, etc?

Hi, I've had PICC Line in for 12 weeks to feed and hydrate me. Idk when it will be be removed. I am at the end of my patience. This is too hard for me to deal with anymore! I wake up crying and in pain and discomfort and go to bed the same way since 3/19/18. Everything I put in my mouth hurts me or makes me sick.
- Oh yes so sorry, 5cm long and 30mm dilated. Thank you for catching my error.
After doing a bit of research (called googling) I also think you may have a typo. Because standard pouch and stoma sizes seem to be very different than what you are reporting. You might want to double check those numbers.
That can't be right. 30 cm is about 12 inches.
6'3" tall, male.
Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
Why do you have a picc line? How much longer will you have it?

I would think your new insurance would cover fixing the hiatial hernia even if it does not cover a revision to your revision. That may help your acid reflux. Does your surgeon want to revise you to RNY?

I think it depends on which policy your employer has chosen for you , some employers exclude wls.
Thanks for writing back. I spent so time researching the gastric sleeve I'm lost with what to do now that it's been converted to an rny.
