Topic: March 3rd "Sleeve" - Anyone else develop bruises & pain?
Got home Thursday from my 3/3/09 VSG. I'm excited and ready to embark on my new life!
Feeling much better by the day but there have been a few 'glitches' along the way ... My torso 'pain med' drip ball broke open Friday night and leaked all over the place! And when I went to pull the 2 cath leads out, I discovered they were stitched in place so I had to go to local walk-in med center to have them removed (didn't want to try it myself).
Also, I came home with two golf-ball size bruises on my torso (one six inches to the right of my navel and another one 6 inches southwest of that one) and when I drink more than 4 Oz of anything cold (like Atkins protein drink) I get stabbing pain 5 minutes later 1-2 inches below the skin (underneath where the 2 bruises are.) It goes away in 4-5 minutes. I was also surprised to find I gained 18 lbs during surgery (fluids?) but lost it all back + 7 lbs more by today (Monday!) Other than that I have no nausea and my stamina is improving daily.
Anyone know what caused the bruises and why the pain is occurring??

Hello surgery sister,
I think anxious is a good word to describe how I feel also. It is a combination of scared and excited all at the same time. I see that you are having a revision, what does that mean? I am having laprascopic RNY. Keep in touch we can try to pass the time together

Hi Melody,
I have the same feelings, and the same appointments., and we have already spoken that we have the same date. If you look on the home page of oh and look under surgery I think any way you will find all types of questions to ask your physican before you have surgery.

Congrats to you as well.
I think I tried a little too much and got the doctors office a little peeved at me. I think I will back off for now, and just wait for the news.
thanks!
