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:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
