Okay all - there is a patient in the hospital who is a revision - she had her band replaced once and still had issues so had a revision. She had it on 7/11. She is having some issues and needs all of our prayers. Her BP is low and she has not been able to walk. She has an excessive amount of drainage and Dr. A is going to go back in and check things out to be sure she has no leaks. She is very scared, as you can imagine; and everyone who has been here with left today, will be leaving today, or will be leaving in the morning. I will not give her name, just call her "N". Please everyone, say your prayers for her and that she has a speedy recovery. She is here by herself.

Thank you, VegasAngel.

Thanks for the update. I am so thankful that she is doing better.

Hi VegasAngel and all.... "N" was released yesterday 7/16/09 and she was doing great! Thank Goodness.... It was nice to meet you 7/12. I did hook up with Funnygirl.. she is a crack up she should be getting out of the hospital tomorrow 7/17... She is also doing well.... I can't say enough good things about Dr, Aceves and his staff. They are such wonderful people. The Hospital was beautiful everyone was very caring... What a great experience I went from a Band to a Sleeve on 7/13. Dr. Aceves performed my surgery. Everyone was wonderful. I would totally reccomend Dr. Aceves his staff and Almater Hospital to anyone that is thinking about getting a sleeve. It was the best thing I ever did.

Thanks JOYRYDN for letting us know - funnigirl sent me a PM with the same information - I'm so glad N was able to get strong enough to go home.

I had a very nice conversation with your mom while you were in surgery and then taken to recovery - a very nice lady! Tell her I said "HI"

Glad you had an awesome experience and that your surgery was uneventful.

Keep in touch!

Hi Shannon, and welcome to the forums. Thanks for updating us on "N" and on yourself. We hope you stick around so we can all get to know one another better.
