Home & sleeved!

HI!  I don't get on this board very often, but I wanted to check in because I don't think there are alot of sleevesters on here.  I had a VSG on Mon afternoon w/Dr. Schoen at University Med Center (the new one off Colfax & I225).  It all went very well, and I went home the next afternoon.  I still have a drain (which is a pain in the ass), but other than that I'm feeling a little better every day.  I love having OH to discuss my WLS w/others in the same boat.  I also wanted to say hi & send best wishes to any other Coloradans who might be having surgery, any type, this week!  Hope you're all safe & doing well!! *Angel   

 

Glad to see you made it OK Angel, maybe just a little surprised they didn't remove the drain before discharging you.

Looking forward to getting sleeved, possibly in September.

Sip,sip,sip, walk,walk,walk, rest,rest,rest.

Hugs,

Fred

Thanks Fred!  I called today to get the drain out now instead of Wed when I have my 1 wk follow-up, because it's starting to look weird & I'm worried about infection.  Still waiting to hear back.  I know some dr's take it out before you leave, but I actually had a lot of fluid the first few days.  Not sure where that goes in patients who don't have a drain? 

Anyway, I also met w/Dr. Metz & he was great.  I hope you're able to get the surgery when you want it.  Thanks for the advice.  Today is my first day alone w/my 3 kids (DH took last week off but had to go back to work), so I'm certainly getting all the walking part down!  Talk to you soon!

(((Hugs back)))

Thank you for that.  I had rny on July 8 and was down 23 pounds, but now 21.  Anyway,  I just wanted to tell you thank you for the best wishes.  You too! Michelle

PS  I am in Aurora also
