Hubby is home from the hospital!



Recommended Posts

Went great, he woke up fairly quickly and was ready to get home.

He has been sticking to the Jello, Water, broth and his Protein shake (had first one this morning)

He has a lot of bruising across his stomach, I did not have that, and I have had 3 of these type surgeries. (Gallbladder, hernia repair and nissen wrap, then lapband)

It is SOOOOO different being on this side of the fence. I did NOT like him being in there for surgery. Even tho I knew the doctor, had done it myself, blah blah blah - I was scared &*^%#

I am so glad he is home, and smiling at me!!!

Yeah I can relate, Hubby and I used the same doctor who I trust undoubtly but I was ready to hear he was awake and talking.

Best of luck to the both of you!

He is doing great - he wants to eat things too soon - but otherwise he's glad to see the pounds down - he is down 10 pounds this morning - not bad for 4 days out!

Melanie, hope your husband is doing well. As far as wanting to eat, I made the mistake early on moving too fast to solids and my doctor really balled me out. Please make sure he follows the restricted diet. He can slip his band and cause additional irritation if he eats too soon. But again, I think you know that. Good luck.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
