Done - band to vsg revision

[Lynn B 0]

I had my successful revision on 9/7. My doctor did perform the surgery lap. I went in at 8am and was out at 1pm. I haven't talked in detail to my surgeon yet as he left town the day after but I spoke to one of his partners who said they did remove some adhesions and part of my liver was encapsulated which they corrected also.

I've been in the hospital since (its now Friday) everything went well and I had an upper gi yesterday that showed no leaks. I have been running a low grade fever of between 99-100.8 so they don't want to release me until it resolves. PITA.

My temp has been fine all day long 98.7 but I got so bored that I took a nap. The nurse just woke me from my nap to take my temp 99.3 WTF they better not say I can't go home tomorrow because of it - I'm going out of my mind here.

I woke up from surgery with an NG tube and a JP drain. I was freaked when I was told that I would have a drain well guess what? Give me 10 JP drains over on NG tube any day - nasty little buggers. That came out yesterday and my throat still kills every time I swallow. JP is still in but they will remove it right before I leave....which I'm hoping in tomorrow. I cried when I found out I had to stay another night...WAAAAAA

First off congrats on your victory of having band removed and getting the VSG. I don't blame you on being upset for having to stay another night. I can't tell you how claustrophobic I was and just wanted to get the hell out of the hospital. Hehe.

I am crossing my fingers you get to go home. Be well.
