thezbfj 0 Posted October 31, 2012 All, Thanks so much for your support!! Nice to know a I have More " brothers and sisters" who are supporting me......but I got as far as the OR, on the table and was Given the first round of sleeping meds. Unfortunatly, they could not intibate me after two attempts. So after two weeks of liquid diet and 24 hours I fasting, I need to do it all again as my date will be rescheduled, again. I had a milkshake on the way home though:)). ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had a milkshake on the way home though:)). ! What the Hell!!!! You need to have your Dr find you a New Anesthesiologist for the next go around. That is just BS. Any Anesthesiologist worth their Degree can intubate or at least use an LMA for an elective, controlled surgery like this. I wish you the best of luck and hang in there.

thezbfj 0 Posted November 19, 2012 All, I got the VIP treatment on my rescheduled "sleeve" day. Had all the best as it got around that I could not be intubation the last time (10/31) My surgery went great on 11/13. With the exception of the extreme nausea I had upon waking in recovery ( lasted about an hour) and being dehydrated before being released ( they gave me a Bollus, a liter in about 45 minutes). Have been doing great so far on day 5 post surgery. Weighed 385 in June, and 348 on the day of surgery and weighed myself today at 340!!! Thought it was going to be difficult to get my "water" in, but haven't had an issue at all. I couldn't be more pleased with my short term results and am using an iPhone app to log all of my food. (My net diary) and its Feel good about the future! John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
