Wasabubblebutt is in recovery



Recommended Posts

Wasa had her revision to a sleeve today. I spoke with Nina (Dr.Aceves coodinator) and she told me that everything went just fine. She was in recovery (this was at 530 pm Arizona time) and will be going back to her room very shortly. As soon as I hear from her I will update you all.

Whoa!

I hope she's having an easy recovery.

I had no idea she was having a revision. Did something happen?!

She's mentioned many times (as recent as just last week) that if she had it to do all over again she'd go with the sleeve.

Wasa didn't like her band. ;o)

I was having mega band problems, esophageal problems, stoma spasms, I've been on liquids for over three months now. It was time for a bit of a change.

I was losing too much weight. I was really happy at 140 and then some new band problems hit and I couldn't overcome the issues anymore. I got to 125 and that is a bit lower than I wanted to go. I had a plastics consult in the hospital and the plastics guy said that he'll be removing 10# of skin (gahhhh) and that would put me at 115# (I'm 5'5"). So I have to gain 10#.

I can't get over it, a plastics guy telling a bariatric patient to gain 10# before he'll do surgery. Who would'a thought?

Big hugs to you sweetie :tongue2::smile::smile:!!!

Thanks, Frangipani!

I didn't really say much about it, I kinda learned my lesson about that on another board when someone who is pro-band and anti-revision offered her opinions. It was just easier to wait until it was done. I was thinking about it six months ago and finally decided to do it.

Revision surgery is verrrry hard surgery, I didn't like it much. ;o) I have decided that I don't want to do that again.

But in the meantime I am bandless (it is sitting in a baggy on my dresser) and I have a stomach the shape of a tube and the size of a man's middle finger.

BTW... I have picked my plastics guy!!! After a year I finally chose one. Dr. Juan Luque in Mexicali. He's very cool, I like him a lot.

I did do it all again! But two times is a charm, not doing it a 3rd time. This is it for me. I do believe I'll find better ways to spend my time.

I decided a couple of months ago that I was going to get a revision. I planned on waiting awhile but that plan didn't pan out.

I must say, the drain was the most fun part of the entire experience. I can't wait for plastic surgery drains next. HA!

      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.
