STILL IN THE HOSPITAL!!!

I was sleeved Monday morning, and I'm still in the stinking hospital!  I couldn't keep anything down, so yesterday, they did an upper GI and discovered that I had so much swelling at the top of my sleeve, that whatever I drank would sit there for a spell and eventually come back up!  Now they have a tube in through my nose, down the back of my throat into the top part of my stomach to continuosly suck out any salavia  I swallow.  I'm trying to not be discouraged, but this has been a total beat down!  All of my other "sleeve buddies" that I met here on the floor all left to go home the day after surgery.  I could be here for another day or two.  Prayers appreciated!

 Sorry to hear about your troubles. At least they discovered what was wrong and hopefully it will all be corrected soon! Good luck!

Focus on the fact that you are in the PERFECT place for them to deal with this.  You don't want to have been discharged and be at home "trying" to figure it all out.

You'll be fine!!

Oh dear, yes its a "good" thing you are IN the hospital with this problem and they figured it out..

BUT.. IT STINKS!!! Try hon to just through each hour, each day as a time to allow others to take care of you, wait on you, and are keeping you safe.

I will offer all that I am going through for YOU, for your speedy recovery.. all in God's time..

But still.. geez..

HUGS, JaN

Darn !!! Complications can happen....glad they caught it before you went home. Take care of yourself, and rest. Let the doctors do their job and heal your body. You rest and get strong for recovery and the loser's bench beyond !!!
