Complications

Hi OH family. I celebrated too soon! I was feeling good after surgery because my surgeon had given me steroids. I started throwing up every 1-2 hours and felt a knot in my esophagus. Come to find out, my sleeve was smaller than expected and I had obstruction. My options: do nothing and hope swelling goes down to allow fluids in, have a GI tube inserted thru my nose to release pressure while hoping swelling goes down and allows fluids in and last option is to operate again and get a bypass. I won't be going home tomorrow, don't know how long I am in at this point. I went with GI tube for now.

 

I am so sorry you are having complications. I would have picked the tube also. How did this happen?

Surgeon said when he took the guide out my stomach had a very curved shape. He put extra sutras in but I still ended up with obstruction. This is only the 2nd time he's had this to happen and the last case ended up getting gastric 4 months down the road.

*gastric bypass

THAT SUCKS BIG TIME!!!  GOD SPEED.

Thanks Sunshine!

I echo Sunshine's post - really, really, sucky.  I hope things get better for you!

Ugh. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Sometimes life hands you lemons. Hang in there, be kind to yourself.

I would have gone with the tube too. Give it some time, rest and do your part. ((HUGS))

You poor kid!  I'm so sorry that this has happened.  I'm hoping all is well SOON!

Hugs,

Kim

Oh know those complications are scary I will be keeping you in prayer.
