Hi! Im Melissa. I had the Gastric Sleeve done in Las Vegas by Dr Umbach on 12/01/10. I never felt such pain in my life (ive had a child) before this! I woke up with excrutiating gas pains between my breasts which traveled to my chest and even morphine shots didnt help.
I was supposed to be outpatient but I stayed the night. The next day I was sore in my stomach and had no appetite. I made it home that day! Im 5 days post op and following doctor orders to be 100% on protein shakes and water. Its hard!!!
Im down 17 from my first visit with doc in June and 11 since day before surgery. Im proud but still want some chicken to chew on!!
Ive been overweight as a child, teen and adult. The least I weighed ever in my adult life was 174.
Im feeling bad but good and I cant wait to feel great! The gas hurts and water causes gas as well but Im ready to fight the fight the hardest fight of my life
