Wasabubblebutt is in recovery



Recommended Posts

Wasa had her revision to a sleeve today. I spoke with Nina (Dr.Aceves coodinator) and she told me that everything went just fine. She was in recovery (this was at 530 pm Arizona time) and will be going back to her room very shortly. As soon as I hear from her I will update you all.

Whoa!

I hope she's having an easy recovery.

I had no idea she was having a revision. Did something happen?!

She's mentioned many times (as recent as just last week) that if she had it to do all over again she'd go with the sleeve.

Wasa didn't like her band. ;o)

I was having mega band problems, esophageal problems, stoma spasms, I've been on liquids for over three months now. It was time for a bit of a change.

I was losing too much weight. I was really happy at 140 and then some new band problems hit and I couldn't overcome the issues anymore. I got to 125 and that is a bit lower than I wanted to go. I had a plastics consult in the hospital and the plastics guy said that he'll be removing 10# of skin (gahhhh) and that would put me at 115# (I'm 5'5"). So I have to gain 10#.

I can't get over it, a plastics guy telling a bariatric patient to gain 10# before he'll do surgery. Who would'a thought?

Big hugs to you sweetie :tongue2::smile::smile:!!!

Thanks, Frangipani!

I didn't really say much about it, I kinda learned my lesson about that on another board when someone who is pro-band and anti-revision offered her opinions. It was just easier to wait until it was done. I was thinking about it six months ago and finally decided to do it.

Revision surgery is verrrry hard surgery, I didn't like it much. ;o) I have decided that I don't want to do that again.

But in the meantime I am bandless (it is sitting in a baggy on my dresser) and I have a stomach the shape of a tube and the size of a man's middle finger.

BTW... I have picked my plastics guy!!! After a year I finally chose one. Dr. Juan Luque in Mexicali. He's very cool, I like him a lot.

I did do it all again! But two times is a charm, not doing it a 3rd time. This is it for me. I do believe I'll find better ways to spend my time.

I decided a couple of months ago that I was going to get a revision. I planned on waiting awhile but that plan didn't pan out.

I must say, the drain was the most fun part of the entire experience. I can't wait for plastic surgery drains next. HA!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
