Completed Revsion Surgery

Oct 14, 2010

I am done with my surgery that was on 10/12/10 with Dr. Wetter.  He did my revsion and Heital hernia.  Both a success!  The first day in the hosptial post op I was pretty sore mainly from the hernia repair.  It was hard to breath due to the pain where I was operated on so high up in the abdomen.  But after one incredibly long night in the hospital, where I was awake most all of the time, with periods of sleep too, finally day 2 arrived.  I started to feel better.  Able to breathe a little bette with less pain but still hurts.

The revision part of the surgery seems to be going just fine.  No leaks, as he did a sucher type revision to the original DS stomach, so didn't take it down too small.  Hopefully small enough!  Time will tell.  So I was in the hosptial for 1 day/night total, and now back home recovering.

Day 3 now, and feeling even better.  Really, this surgery is nothing like the first DS one.  Not nearly the amount of pain or throwing up, etc.. I'm trying to stick to the soft diet, but finding protein to be a challenge with that.  If anyone has any tips for the first couple weeks out of meal planning I'd be interested to hear about them.

Hey, already lost 10 lbs!
