Back home from Dr.Joya - VSG
First - thanks for the responses!!!!
1st day - arrived Tues. in surgery by 7-9pm.
Awoke and was ok.
2nd day - felt ok except nausea and vomos (about every 3-4 hours).
3rd day- Endoscopies, Dr. found a small bleeding ulcer.
By the afternoon was feeling ok.
4th day- Tested for leaks ETC. went to hotel and slept. Learned how to sip water and eat small amounts of Jell-O.
5th day- came back home and slept very well.
6th day- (today Mon.) Eating Jell-O and sipping water and had hot broth that went down real smooth.
Getting ready for protein drinks next.
The Head Game - seeing and smelling food - Salivation (just like Pavlov claimed) my mind saying oh yeah and my stomach saying - not interested.
I had not realized some additional issues that were revealed pre and post surgery.
PRE:
250 lbs
GERD
Sleep Apnea
Knees and feet aching
Shortness of breath
POST:
all of above and
Dr. said my fat was more around the organs vs. muscle to skin
this resulted in a smaller pouch (Need faster reduction).
High BP
Small bleeding ulcer - that caused havoc. (Hey, only $700 to fix)
How, some of the post and responses were great encouragement from this board.
How, much I love my wife and children and not take them for granted- (free)
Thankful to Jesus and GOD for placing me at Dr. Joya's for treatment and giving me the insight to realize the blessing he gave me.
