Hello!!

I have had a leak and I am going through a lot with the sleeve. I am wanting to find someone who has been down or is currently going down this road. It's rough. I have been reaching out and receiving amazing support from other sleeved friends Dec Sleevers are nothing short of AMAZING!! I think it would be nice chat or text with someone who has been here.

Have you gone in to see the urologist? I thought that was Thursday but maybe it's

this coming Thursday.

Hi!!

How are you doing? Not yet, this coming Thursday. I can't wait!! I think he will be good!!

Best,

Sannah.

Hi Laura!!

Oh my word bird!! Sounds like a busy house this evening!! I bet you were ready for down time!!!

The new dentist sounds a little but crazy!! But thorough is always good!! Is he new to dentistry or is that a normal exam?

Today had a hard start!! Kidney pain!! Blah!! The great news is as the day progressed things eased up! So lucky! I was well enough to go out on a date with my hubby tonight!!! it was great fun!! my sister watched little Venla!! This is our first time going out on a date since surgery!!!

Do you get results from your scan tomorrow?

Do you have chills?

Best,

Sannah

Hehe I told the other mothers that sure their kids can come over... That I'm just going to let them drink beer and invite girls over!

Hehe.. I did feed them pizza though and then walked them over to the ice cream store to hop them up on sugar first before they went home!!

Sorry your day started out rough... But happy you got to go out on a date!

The radiologist will send his report to my doc in the next couple of days I hope!

Haha the dentist was not "new" she is just into oral health like crazy! X-rays panoramic scan a tiny camera in my mouth to chart every tooth measured my gums?? Lordy my mouth is tired!

Where did you guys go tonight?

I had a leak , but my doc caught it in surgery. That was 3/11.

He said he restapled that area-at the top. Before I was discharged he had me do a postop "barium swallow." And of course- the dose was a baby dose. How many of you that had leaks had a "swallow" before you were discharged?

My surgeon does a barium swallow leak test on everyone the day after your surgery. You can't drink anything until after you pass the test, so day 2 can be pretty miserable--but I'm so glad the he does it. I looked it up on PubMed and this process does help prevent unidentified leaks causing an issue later on. I think most surgeons also do the leak test during the surgery before they close you up.

Hey Laura,

Man!!! Well, that exam sounds great!!! Jaw ache?

I love your plan! Pizza and icecream!!! Easy and they will be bumped up when they head home!!!! That is so great!

In Portland, we are really into having our neighborhoods named and they are often uniquely filled with character. We used live in a neighborhood called Hawthorne, its known for liberalism. We went back to one of our favorite little pubs and played some cards. Hubby had a good IPA and we played cards. It was a little slice of heaven!!! We will get back into our older neighborhood with all our hippies!!!

Tell the radiologist to hurry up!! Golly!

Aww I missed you! I was on another thread having a silly fight, and I got side tracked!

Yes the pizza and ice cream thing went over well.. No kids today! Hehe. No really that's why I stay home so the kids can hang out here! But it's nice to have a quite day too

Your night sounds like fun! It's nice having date night! I'm glad you were able to make that time for yourselves

How are you doing today? Tomorrows your appointment, are you nervous at all?

Agrgh... No fighting people!!! Let's keep the peace!

Aww yes a day without kiddos!! Enjoy mama!!

I just got a call from the cardiologist!! yay!! I am healthy enough to do as I please!! I was previously approved to walk and lift 3lbs. Haha. Venla is more than 3lbs. silly doctor!!! He knew about her.

No not nervous at all. Happy to hear his opinion. I am at peace with it all. If I have to do this alone, I will live!! It won't be fun!! I have my family and your support. I can do anything right!?

Any plans for the week?

Sannah,

Awesome that you can lift Venla free and clear!

Oh I spoke to soon! Now my daughter has friends over! Oh well better here than running around town!

I understand what your saying about your appointment tomorrow. It seems that now they were able to take away one thing (the spasms)

It's been a little better?

I still have to tackle my fish tanks this week. Which is a lot of work but the up side is going to the fish store to buy my salt water and talk to the cute boys that work there!

Once in a while my husband likes to tease me and say he's coming with me to the fish store to ruin my fun.

What about you are you doing anything else this week?

Laura

Double post...

Hey Laura,

Fish tanks eh!? I bet they are so pretty!!! How many do you have?! I could watch the fish swim around for hours, it's so relaxing!!! Flirting with the boys eh!? Extra fun!!!????

Well, I think your right!! The girls are better off at your house than out and about!!

Not sure what I am going to do! Exercise since I finally was approved to do whatever I like!!! I have a precor elliptical here and now I can finally put that bad boy to use!! I aspire to be a runner!!! ???? I have a long ways to go!!!

I have a personal health coach she called for the first time today. She is going to call me again in Friday so we can talk about my urology appointment.

Doing anything fun for the weekend?

Best,

Sannah

Hey Laura,

I forgot to reply about my esophageal spasm. It's all good as long I as I take the medicine twice daily. Isn't it strange? Tomorrow will be one week of being able to eat without severe pain, nausea and vomiting!! ????

Best,

Sannah

Hi Sannah,

I've never heard of a "personal health coach"

What is it?? I'm glad your cleared to get moving again. But don't go over board! Lord knows I don't

I have two tanks one of them is a "pico" coral tank it's only 2 gallons and only contains corals, star fish and one tiny clown goby. The bigger tank has mostly corals too but a few fish and a pesky shrimp that I swear one day I will eat!

He steals all the food out of the corals mouths when I spot feed them!

I'm glad the new medicine works for the spasms..

I wonder how long you will have them and have to take it??

Laura

I tried to take a picture but its really hard with the phone...

Hey Laura,

Your tanks sound great!! How long have you had them? They sound like a lot of work!!!

The personal health coach is a new concept to me too! I wish I had known about this and her a lot sooner.She is a great lady, we talked a bit over an hour this evening about what I have been through and what I am currently enduring. She is here to support me, gather resources for me, make sure all my doctors are communicating, and to help me with any goals ( make and set) i have. We talk as often as I want or need. She kind of guides me along in the process. She advocates for my health; physical and mental. She answers question I have about my care and it's really nice. I look forward to chatting with her Friday about my appointment with the urologist. Emily is covered by our insurance. I have never heard of this, but the counselor I see has. I also have not endured this much in such a short period of time.

I won't overdue the physical activity I am looking forward to doing the strength training the physical therapist have me. I also want to do some arm weights!! Bingo wing prevention!!!

I feel so terrible. At the moment I can not recall what else your message said and what else I wanted to type!! ???? My brain is so tired.

sleep good tonight!! Have fun at the fish store!! ????

Best,

Sannah
