Jack mario's surgery 5/5/10



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

This is Shauni, Jack Mario's older Daughter. He has told me quite a lot about all of you online and I'd like to thank you all for your support :o

He requested I come online and give you all an update on how hes doing.

So his surgery was on May 4th and it went quite well :thumbup:, (it was even recorded for med. student use heeeehee:tongue2:) [[we're trying to get our hands on the tape so we can watch it :lol0:]] I wasnt allowed to see him the day following the surgery but from what my Mom told me he was in major pain, and hooked up to a lot of "tubing". I did see him today though :) and hes doing FANTASTIC. His nurses are having him walk every now and then and his says the pain has gotten better. The only thing is that he can't stop hiccuping!!! lol The nurses say its because of the hernia in his esophagus that he got fixed and the hiccups won't go away til its healed. Tomorrow he gets transfered from ICU into the regular hospital section and hopefully they'll release him :thumbup:

Attached is a picture for all of you to see <3 lol

(as you can see he looks a little cranky :laugh0: he hasn't slept much :mellow:)

Thank You All Very Much, all your encouraging words and advice

has given him the hope and support he needed :001_tt1:

He will most likey type back to you all the minute he gets home :)

:thumbup:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
