Surgeon Testimonial

Jorge Sosa
I HAD GONE TO ONE OF DR. SOSA'S SEMINARS ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO AND WAS VERY IMPRESSED BUT I THOUGHT SURGERY WAS NOT AN OPTION FOR ME. HERE I AM 3 YEARS LATER ABOUT TO HAVE DR. SOSA PERFORM GASTRIC BYPASS ON ME AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. I HAVE HEARD THE TESTIMONIALS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE EPERIENCED HIS WORK INCLUDING MY BEST FRIEND AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME THING TO SAY ABOUT HIM, HE IS GREAT! I FEEL VERY LUCKY THAT DR. SOSA IS GOING TO BE MY SURGEON AND I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO BE MY TURN ON MARCH 2ND.

Phew!

Wow, so  much has happened since the last time I posted I ended up going back into the hospital on the 18th, the day before my birthday . And I was there until Wednesday the 23rd, I was vomiting everything that I was drinking. The nutritionist told me I could start drinking milk and pudding and that I should start having protein shakes since I can not drink the proteinex as it just makes me nausesous. But after I left the hospital wednesday Dr.Sosa told me no milk yet, just stay on the clear liquids so I am going to listen to him. Makes me wonder why did I pay the nutritionist the $60 fee . Oh well I've been home now since Wednesday and I am feeling ok, I still can't sleep laying down though I need to be like almost sitting when I sleep but thats ok its just a minor little glitch. I have lost so much weight I was down to 237 the last time I weighed myself I can't believe it!! I've gone through so much already I just hope I dont end up back in the hospital again or throwing up again I really dont want that, I escaped the dylation by the skin of my teeth because I guess my stomache decided it wanted to cooperate finally. . . .lol. I'm only drinking about 4oz every hour I drink apple juice, cranberry juice, water, crystal light, and decaffeinated tea, which is funny because I never used to drink tea, but now I actualy like it. I can't wait to start eating but the good thing is that I am not hungry at all. Yesterday I was just in the house all day bored so I decided to cook, I made a tuna casserole and according to my in laws and my fiancee it was deliciouse, which is good maybe I'll learn how to cook since I can't eat. . . .lol. Even my daughter ate the tuna noodle casserole I was so suprised and happy I told her it was just chicken with macaroni and she ate it all up and loved it, I didn't even get one peep of a complaint out of her I was so proud. So at least I'm doing something constructive with my time, before I never even went near the kitchen .. . lol.  well except the microwavable macaroni and cheese and the chicken nuggets that I popped in the mini oven, but thats going to change I'm going to start cooking. . .Healthy meals for my family and when I finally get to start eating. . .for myself also. But I'm feeling good, and everything is staying down so I'm thanking God and I think everything will be ok. An operation that was only supposed to be a two day thing turned out to be almost a month long ordeal of hospital and and second operation and IV's which have left bruises and pain all over my arms and hands, but I guess it will be all worth it in a few months, just like Sosa told me, I just have to stay strong.  Ok I need to go shopping!!!. . . .lol Ciao

Home at last!
on March 14, 2010 5:51 pm
I'm home at last I was let loose this afternoon and I bolted out of the hospital so fast that i dont even remember what time it was!. . .lol. Doc said that I am borderline ok but he was going to let me go with a prescription of prednisone to continue relaxing my stomache. I still feel fine which is great and I haven't vomited, which would be the sign that something is wrong. I am weak of course and I cant walk around too much or do too much work, I feel tired but I am ok. I'm going to sleep in my bed tonight aaaaaah. I still have my drainage tube in though until Thursday and I have my staples also. They dont hurt or itch unless I bump them or something otherwise they are fine. The drainage tube is annoying I wish my doctor would have taken it out already but oh well I have to wait till Thursday. I am down to 244 today so that is just great too! Ok well I'm getting off this computer and going to bed in MY BED!! Goodnight everyone!

Getting Better!!
on March 13, 2010 6:58 am
I'm off the IV woo hoo!!!!!! Doc says I'm getting better so yesterday late afternoon he came in and said that I could get off the iv, but I must keep it in my arm just in case. . . ..uuuuuuugh. But oh well its off and I'm drinking 15cc's of liquid an hour again. I dont feel nausea and I feel fine. I went down to x-rays this morning and the girl said that it is moving, so I just have to wait for Doc to come to tell me actually how its going but yesterday he told me I could be out of her in about 1 or 2 days OH THANK YOU GOD!!!! I have been in here for 12 days now, 12! I am so ready to go home I need to be with my daughter and get back to life, get back to work and get back to normal. I hope that he says everything is still moving well and absorbing so that i can get the ***** out of here!!! I will pray a lot today, and walk alot, thats all I can do. I feel good and i'm ready to go. The other man that was left here from his operation on Tuesday got to go home yesterday, he was happy, but he felt bad for me. My fiancee is here with me he came last night to stay with me and he'll spend the day with me today so that is good. I want to go outside for a walk its a beautiful day in Miami today and i need to soak up that sun!! Thank you everyone for your support and prayers I'll keep on keeping you all posted, everything seems to finally be going well so I might be out of the hospital soon!!

ok, come one already : )

Wow, its Friday already again! I feel good today I got up this morning went down to x-ray, the lady told me it looks much better so this is good. My Dr; Dr. Sosa came yesterday and told me the same thing "its getting better", so I'm happy, I have to keep praying that everything stays this way, I have been in the hospital about 11 days now, but I'm ok. I feel good. I do my laps around and come back and sit down watch tv for a little surf the internet a little, go back and walk a little more. I feel fine and thats all that matters, I just hope that the "getting better" continues so that I can go home soon! Yesterday I met the 3 people who Sosa operated on Tuesday and they looked good, all were much bigger than me and older in age also. They could barely walk very good but I told them they need to for circulation so they dont get blood clots. They couldn't believe that I have gone through it all twice! Well, now I just sit here and wait for Sosa to come, yesterday he got in around 4pm I think it was. The first thing I want to eat when I can actually eat again. . . is a soup from Panera, maybe the brocolli cheddar soup. . .  .yuuuum soooooooo goood. I havent eaten in 14 days, but I'm not hungry which is very good! I just see all these food commercials all day long on tv and they drive me crazy, but I'm stronger than that, let me turn off this tv and watch a movie. . . lol. Ok bye everyone I'll keep you posted. BTW I'm down to 249 today! woo hoo!!
