Florence Hospital/ Dr. Garcia June 14th



Recommended Posts

Anyone else going to be at Florence/ the TJ Marriott between the 13th and the 18th? I'm getting sleeved with Dr. Garcia on the morning of the 14th and am going without a "support person", so it would be great to know someone else who will be there.

@Hazel Eyes, I'm so glad you will be there too! I come down on the night of the 12th and will be there till the 18th. I can't wait to meet you as your mom! @Olivia23, I'll be able to see you before your surgery, which is awesome :) I'll make sure to take notes so I can tell you exactly what to expect!

Does Dr. Garcia use stitches to close the holes in your stomach? If so, are they dissovable stitches or do I have to get a surgeon back home to remove them?

Olivia23, he uses staples and Dr. Luna will come to the hotel to remove them before you leave!

 

Everything went really well and I feel great! Can't wait to go home though, I'm a little homesick... being here by myself has been a little lonely, but all of the nurses and Drs have been so kind and attentive.

 

Let me know if you have any more questions at all! I would be happy to answer them :)

 

So glad I did this for myself! Best decision ever.

Oh no. I'm leaving a day early so I hope that won't be a problem with them taking out the staples.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
