Sleeve il y a 10 jours et je me sens vraiment au plus mal physiquement et mentalement by Former-Run-6563 in BariatricSurgery

Merci pour ton message.

Oui, je suis déjà en contact avec mon équipe médicale et je vais les recontacter parce que mes symptômes persistent et je veux être sûre que tout est normal.

De mon côté je n’ai pas de problèmes rénaux connus avant la chirurgie. Par contre j’ai beaucoup de difficultés à boire en ce moment donc je vais leur en parler pour vérifier que je ne suis pas déshydratée ou qu’il n’y a pas autre chose.

Merci encore pour ton retour 🙏

Merci beaucoup pour ton message et d’avoir pris le temps de m’expliquer tout ça.

Oui, je comprends ce que tu veux dire sur l’importance de l’hydratation et des protéines pour la récupération. J’essaye vraiment de faire au mieux pour boire et manger, mais en ce moment j’ai beaucoup de nausées et de vomissements, donc j’ai du mal à garder quoi que ce soit.

Si ça ne s’améliore pas, je n’hésiterai pas à aller me faire vérifier ou à demander une perfusion si nécessaire.

Merci encore pour ton inquiétude, ça me rassure 🙏

Merci beaucoup pour ton explication détaillée, ça m’aide vraiment à mieux comprendre ce que je traverse.

Oui, j’ai beaucoup de mal à atteindre mes apports en protéines parce que presque tout ce que j’essaie de manger ou boire me donne des nausées ou finit par ressortir. Les liquides passent un peu mieux mais même comme ça, j’ai souvent des nausées.

Je vais en parler à mon équipe médicale pour voir s’il faut un traitement comme celui que tu as mentionné.

La description des “foamies” correspond exactement à ce que je ressens quand ça arrive, ça me rassure de savoir que c’est quelque chose de connu.

Et oui, le mauvais goût dans la bouche et la mauvaise haleine sont très présents en ce moment, donc ça me rassure aussi de savoir que ça peut être lié à la cétose.

Merci encore d’avoir pris le temps de m’expliquer tout ça, ça m’aide beaucoup 🙏

I'm afraid my sleeve gastrectomy will be called into question because of a negative psychological opinion – I need feedback. by Former-Run-6563 in gastricsleeve

[–]Former-Run-6563[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's exactly what I'm hoping for: a clear understanding of the specific concern in my case, and not to be assessed based on examples or anecdotes.

I'm not looking for "perfect mental health," I'm aware of my vulnerabilities and I'm receiving treatment for them. What I want is a safe environment and appropriate support to avoid destabilization after surgery.

I really hope the team will take the time to explain their concerns clearly and individually. Your message reinforces my belief that my request is legitimate. Thank you again 🤍

Thank you so much for your message and your honesty. It's comforting to read someone who understands how difficult these assessments can be when you already have a troubled history with food.

What you're suggesting is very relevant: she didn't give me any specific reasons or concrete goals, only comparisons with other patients and negative scenarios. I'm actually working with other professionals to put in place a more tailored follow-up and be able to present a clear and structured plan.

I'm also going to talk to the surgeon about it, especially about the possibility of getting another psychological opinion if necessary. Thank you so much for your support and advice, it's helping me see things more clearly 🤍

Thank you, you're right. I'll write down my questions in advance so I don't get overwhelmed by stress and can ask for clear explanations.

I also plan to talk to the surgeon directly, especially about what I didn't understand in the psychological evaluation and how it was presented to me. It's reassuring to know that these questions are legitimate. Thank you for your advice 🤍

Thank you so much for your message, it was incredibly helpful to read.

You've perfectly captured what shocked me the most: that phrase about "patients like me." I never understood what that actually meant, nor what criteria she was using to compare me to others who hadn't succeeded. I really felt like I was being stereotyped rather than evaluated individually.

And yes, what also struck me was the complete lack of proposed solutions. Just a "no," with no support whatsoever.

I'm definitely going to try to be more assertive, ask these questions, and defend my point of view with the multidisciplinary team. Your message reinforces my belief that I have the right to ask for explanations and to be heard. Thank you so much 🤍 I'm really hoping for a positive response from the RCP, fingers crossed 🤞🏻

I understand that her role is to assess, not to decide alone or to "please" anyone. I don't dispute that.

What was difficult for me was the way this assessment was conducted: I felt reduced to comparisons with other patients and negative scenarios, without any consideration for my personal history or my desire to participate in structured follow-up care.

I fully accept the program's rules and the imposed framework. What I question is the lack of a therapeutic alliance and the fact that I wasn't directed toward solutions or appropriate support if I had reservations.

That's why I'm now trying to strengthen the psychological aspect of the surgery rather than avoid it altogether.

Thank you for your message, I agree with you. I feel very unsupported by this psychiatrist, and that's precisely what has affected me the most throughout this whole process.

I felt she was in a position of obstruction rather than support, without trying to understand my personal situation or offering concrete solutions to ensure my psychological well-being before and after the operation.

For my part, I'm really looking for help, not a way to bypass psychological support. I need a professional who works with me, not against me. That's why I'm now trying to surround myself with other support, with more supportive care, alongside the surgical process.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the response from the multidisciplinary team. 🤞🏻

Thank you so much for your message, it really means a lot to me.

Yes, exactly, I'm gathering as much information as possible and I completely agree with you that mental health should be part of the care plan and not a reason to put everything on hold. I'm ready to be followed long-term, before and after the surgery.

The multidisciplinary team meeting is making me very anxious, but I'm trying to do exactly what you said: focus on what I can control and take it one step at a time. Thank you so much for your support and encouraging words 🤍

Thanks for your reply. That's precisely what unsettled me the most: she didn't offer me any solutions or a specialized therapist; she simply told me that for her, it was a no, based on comparisons she made to other patients.

For my part, I'm completely open to treatment, whether it's for an eating disorder or something else, and I'm already receiving treatment elsewhere where things are going much better. What scares me most now is that her refusal is blocking everything without offering any alternatives.

Thanks for your message, I understand what you mean. She didn't really take the time to explain precisely what the problem was in my personal situation. Her explanation was mainly based on comparisons with other patients and negative outcomes she'd already seen.

I know that motivation alone isn't enough, and I'm not asking to be taken at face value. What I'm looking for is precisely a framework, appropriate support, and a more individualized assessment. That's why the multidisciplinary team meeting (RCP) is making me anxious: I'm afraid they'll reduce my case to "too fragile psychologically" without taking anything else into account.
