How exciting for her - and you -- she will be happy to have you there ... all will be well. She'll be in great hands and at a great hospital. I will keep you in my prayers.

I think the reason Dr. Aceves is doing surgery on a Sunday is that he was attending a conference in Texas, so I am sure he has a backlog of surgeries that people want to get done.

We'll look for your posts -- tell "Jaffa's wife" to enjoy her last meal :lol0:

We just had a last meal!!!! The testing went fast, and we are getting ready for bed. Surgery tomorrow at 9.

The Italian Restaurant was a very good. I at too much but, she loved it....I have lefter overs for tomorrow.

We also met up with another sleeve patient that is getting sleeved. It is someone who has posted, but I won't say, because they may or may not want it posted. I will error on the cautions side on this one. She is a really nice person.

The both get sliced and diced tomorrow.

I know, not what people want to hear....LOL

The other person is here all by herself. She is a lot tougher then my wife. My wife wouljd have run like the wind. I'm going to spend tomorrow helping them both.

Well, actaully today since it is now morning.

Surprisingly the hospital was very busy yesterday. The waiting room was full when we first walked in. It took about 15 minutes to get urine, bloood, ekg, an chest exam. Then about an hour on paper work and talking to DR Aceves. I even learned a couple of things I had't ever hear.

Dr Aceves, has only two sleeves tomorrow, so it is any easy day for him. Both are fresh nich stomachs.

Jaffa Steve,

That is so nice of you to take care of both ladies. Tell ya what, when the rest of us that are waiting get our sleeve dates we will let you know. Then since you will be so experienced you can come and take care of us. Maybe your wife could rent you out on this board. LOL

No kidding, it is nice of you to care for them both. Keep on posting with the updates.

Judy

You are such a sweetheart! But I think that is because you are from Des Moines. ;o)

Seriously, you are a nice guy. The other lady having surgery is lucky to have you. It can be spooky having surgery alone, but with you and your wife there she isn't alone.

You are very cool, Jaffa!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
