the boys mom

Had my follow-up appointment yesterday, everything was great just take it easy on the soft foods, don"t want a leak. Back to work today- not to tired great to be back!:biggrin0:

Hi everyone, I've been on this sight "visiting" trying to get all the imformation before surgery as far as what to expect. Was scared and just wanted to be sure I was doing the right thing (by having the surgery) My husband had a sleeve back in Jan. 2010 and had problems. He spent 5 1/2 weeks icu and two weeks on the regular floor(7 1/2 weeks total) He was the 1% who had everything go wrong. We almost lost him twice. So you see why I was scared to go through with it. But now he's doing great, down 87 lbs. and has so much energy that I'm jealous! so I set my date for august 16th and didn't look back. (same doctor). All went well, one of the nurses from the office sat with my family till I got out! Day 1-sore but walked, day 2-went in for a upper gi just to make sure no leaks, day 3-send home did a little shopping with my daughter,day 4-WIPPED OUT slept alot all day, day 5-felt hungery for soft foods ( yogurt, pudding and mash potatoes real thin -no problem!) day 6-a little chicken soup (mostly broth), day 7-out boating with family and friends and starting to enjoy life again! Remembering to get all my water,crystal light and protein drinks in. I go to the doctor this week and then back to light duty - physical work on thrusday. Looking forward to it. I am down 14 lbs.
