Surgeon Testimonial

Nirmal Jayaseelan
I was very comfortable with Dr. Jayaseelan from the start. I would recommend him greatly. Although I havent been to one of his support group meetings yet, I understand they are very helpful and people get to know him better than when he is trying to work his patients through his busy day. He gave me all the information I needed to get through this process without being overly fussy. I liked that.

I saw Dr J today. He xray'd my stomach and did not see any leaks! The staples were removed but the gastric tube was left in for another two weeks. The bright spot is that I got to graduate from clear liquids to full liquids.

I am having problems with my left heel. I suspect it is a bone spur. Because of that I cannot walk like I need to. For the last two days I could not walk at all, it hurt so bad to put weight on my foot.  Next stop, seeing my regular doctor for this. 

The good news is that I weighed 269 in the office. 25 pounds down!  I know that is a lot, and I need a slower and yet consistant weightloss, but I was pretty proud let me tell you all!

I will post some pictures as I go along, but I think I want to wait for at least one month out. I feel so positive about my weightloss. That is something I have not felt for a very long time.

1 week out
on May 15, 2010 5:27 am
One week and one day out. I still have my gastric tube in so that is a bit of a hindrance to how I feel I think. I don't believe I have sprung back as well as some sleevers, but considering my circumstance I hope I am doing better than I think. I had a revision. I had my band put in in May 2005, removed in April 2009 and the sleeve May 7th. I had a lot of scar tissue my Doc said, so he is being very sensitive to my sleeve. Great Doc!

My weight this morning was 272.1. That is down 22 pounds. That is starting from April 30th, the start of my clear liquids. This is wonderful for me. My depression over my weight was just getting worse and worse. Now I have hope again!

I want to say here that I have the absolute best husband in the world. He has been the best. He stayed the whole time with me in the hospital and took vacation off for my week off as well. I was blessed with this man!

Here's to more success and a more fulfilled life ahead!~

Home, 3 days out

Well I've made it 3 days now! Because of my stomach having scars from my band, Dr J had to do a little extra work and monitor me closely.

My problem is that I can't get into a comfortable position in bed. I worry that I am drinking ove an ounce 1n 15 minutes, but I am so thirsty. I am sticking to the clear liquids until my next visit. Amazingly I am not craving food real bad.

My next appointment is Monday, May 17th. I hope and pray there are no drainage issues or anything else wrong.


This is it for now. I just know I need these blogs to refer back to as the months go by~
