Surgery this morning



Recommended Posts

Had my sleeve done this morning in Long Island with Dr Shawn Garber. Nothing short of an excelent experience with Mercy Medical Center. I am laying in my bed with minima pain, rather just soarness and looking forward to trying my food intake tomorrow. So far so good. Good luck to all pre sleevers.

Glad to hear. Was yours done with the robot? Mine was, and I had no pain and haven't any problems since my surgery....I really think it's because of the robot, Hope everything continues to go smooth for you. .

When u say robot do u mean the single incision? If that is what u mean it wasnt. I had the regular lapro. Because my torso is too long for the single incision. I am a big boy. 6'5". 400lbs. I dont have much gas pain at all and i walking every two hours with no problems. Dr Garber is doing 5-7 of these surgeries a week no deaths no leaks , so i knew i was in good hands. Thank you.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
