Hello everyone I am new here was just wondering if there is anyone one here from the Rhode Island area just starting the process of the gastric sleeve?

I'm in RI as well, there are a few of us and a bunch from MA. I had the band installed in 2011 and was just recently revised to the Bypass in March.

How was your post-op


Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

Pretty easy actually. I knew what I was in for from when I had the band installed. I already had mastered the "log roll" technique to get in and out of bed, etc. Post-op was a breeze, actually had the nursing staff calling me their "Dream patient" before the first night was even half over. I did everything I could myself, didn't need any extra medication for anything, I was maxing out my incentive spirometer on the second day, etc.

I had Dr. Ryder for my surgery.

Primarily out of Collyer Street. But she works a few places.

      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!!
