Wife's surgery this morning went great...



Recommended Posts

Just thought I would pop on here and let the board know that my wife was banded this morning by Dr. Arturo Rodriguez, and the surgery went perfectly with no complications.

The hospital [saint Engracia] is as nice as any I have seen and the nurses have been incredibly attentive to my wife during the day.

Dr. Rodriguez is one of the most patient and gracious physicians I have ever dealt with, both personally and professionally. He answered many [and I do mean many] questions via email and phone leading up to the surgery without any reserve or hesitation.

My wife is feeling no pain today [good drugs] and getting plenty of sleep...taking in some of the juice and ice they have given her as she could...but otherwise the only real issue was some nausea coming out of the general anesthesia, which they quickly countered with some drugs in her IV.

I am at the hotel with my son, but she is on my mind and I am comfortable in the knowledge that she is in excellent hands. Dr. Rodriquez will be visiting her later this evening to see how she is doing.

One down, a lifetime to go...so begins her journey.

I find myself feeling a combination of nervousness and anxiety that I cannot be with her in the room all the time...but know she is well taken care of.

I am sure once we are home she will hop on here and get in the mix of things. I know she has read the board and liked the content and the lack of all the other things I have mentioned about some of the other groups and such.

Thanks again...

LJ

LJ,

I am so glad your wife had a simular experience to mine...Dr. A. Rodriguez is wonderful. He sat with me after my surgery and even had adrianna his assistant take my mom out for lunch. I felt very comphy with him. His bed side manner and after care is wonderful. Call him or patti L. and they will either call you right back or talk to you then. Be sure to ask what kind of band your wife has. I have the Swedish band and it holds more liquid so don't be surprised when you read that everyone here is getting 1cc and he say your wife is getting 3cc's ...(that was one of my recient questions.) Well good luck and please tell Dr. Rodriguez I will see him in dallas on the 13th of next month!:cool:

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
