I’m tomorrow (8/16/2012) 10:50 AM with Dr. Robert Korn is the surgeon, at St. Luke’s, Boise Idaho. I am now sitting here with all of the emotions that a person can generate, excited, worried, nervous, apprehensive, and wanting to just get the surgery over and start the new journey of my new life!

[mczoo33 72]

Post op – Summary surgery – August 10 – Dr Alvarez Piedras Negras , MX (near Eagle Pass TX).

So Surgery went fine – I was second surgery at 10:15 am – I had an IV in and they asked me to slide over to the gurney and that was the last thing I remember until I woke up after surgery at 4:30 pm. Dr. Alvarez performed a VSG and repaired a hiatal hernia. I went alone. So Dr Alvarez called my wife at 11:45 am after my surgery and explained everything to her and told her I would call her after I woke up.

When I woke up at 4:30pm I was not in pain at all – I know they gave me pain killer medicine. I was able to walk and use the restroom. I called my wife and spoke to her for 10 minutes. I did walk a little up and down the hospital hallways. Then I just rested in bed and Jessica the main nurse came and checked on me often. The other nurses came in every few hours and put acid blocker and pain medicine into my IV – I did not feel these just some cool sensation going into my veins at the IV site. I was able to sleep all night with the nurses coming in every 2hours to check on me and re administers pain and acid blocker into IV.

Day2 - The next day was all about walking and sucking on ice chips. I was able to tolerate the ice chips. I was not able to tolerate the warm Water test. I got nauseas when I sipped the warm Water and had a quick incident of dry heaves. I also want to note that Dr. Alvarez and Dr. Gabe came in and visited me at least 3 times after the surgery – same day as my surgery. I saw them again 3 times day after the surgery. I did have pain right below or under my ribcage area across my body and both my shoulders hurt. The Dr. told me that the ribcage area pain was related to my hiatal hernia repair. And the shoulder pain was related to gas buildup left over from surgery. He gave me pain medicine that day and in the evening to help deal with it.

Day 3 – was discharge day – I woke up around 6:10 am and I was asked to sip on grape juice – it was in a small 6oz box with a straw. I walked and sipped and finished the juice in 1-½ hours. I was happy I was able to do that. I had not had any reflux or nauseas feeling during the whole experience. (With exception of the warm water test). Overall experience not bad at all. I felt comfortable – I knew I had surgery but not a lot of pain.

I was transported to the hotel in San Antonio and that went fine – the 2 hour ride was bumpy and I burped a lot but not much pain. I went into my hotel room and took a pain medicine – shoulders still hurt a bit. I slept for 1 ½ and then got up and walked and sipped gatorade for a while and then went out to a restaurant I got Soup. All this time again I was able to keep liquids down and no reflux or nauseas feeling.

I took another pain medicine and went to bed at 10pm. Day 4 - I went to airport and flew home. Arrived home around 2pm – still feeling fine. Day 5 – sipping crystal light with a scoop of unjury unflavored Protein Powder. Slight headache going on.

Since I went alone - Jessica - Dr. A nurses was awesome in helping me with everything I needed. I was very grateful for that.

Hi everyone! I had my post-op appointment today (surgery was August 7th). It feels so good to have those staples removed. :-) We went over my labs and everything looks great so far. I'm down a total of 22.4 lbs (includes the 2 week pre-op diet). Whohoo!!!
