What I found out about sleeve and tummy tuck
For gastric sleeve patient out there wanting a tummy tuck there is something you should know.
1: The is a greater chance that your haemoglobin level will go down during surgery because we are prone to it due to the sleeve
2: Please be prepared to take blood or do your research and arrange with your surgeon to provide for alternative because you will be asked to sign a waiver that gives the surgeon the right to administer blood
3: Regarding eating, as we can only eat small amounts of food at a time with the sleeve any it because considerably harder to eat after tt and muscle repair, am unable to eat 1 whole boild egg without considering discomfort and the egg coming back up and this is day 7 after surgery
So far I have been living on ensure powder mixing it with pineapple juice, grapes, papaya and water. Please take with you some of your favorite liquid food or anti nausea treat so you can have something to eat
Anytime I try to eat solids even a bite is enough to cause me to want to vomit and that in itself is soon painful due to the tt.
Hope this helps
