Topic: RE: Anyone have band surgery with Dr. Acosta?
Thanks Cece!!  I am so thankful that I still have a WLS tool to help me out!!  The surgery was about an hour, I think.   Since he didn't have to mess with my port the initial pain was not nearly as bad as the first one.  I was very nauseous yesterday and I am dealing with the gas pains in my shoulders.  I didn't have the gas pains with the first surgery.  All in all, it's not as bad as last time though! El Paso is better than Lubbock, as far as the drive and the hospital was pretty amazing!! 

Please keep me in touch about your surgery.  A lady had surgery the same morning as me that was a patient of Frezza's too.  Turns out that he never put the band around her stomach!!  He is a real quack!!!

I am glad he was able to fix it! How was the surgery?  Was it like before? Were you in surgery the same amount of time? I am leaving tomorrow after class for Lubbock.  My preop lab etc, visit with anesthesiology and nurse visit at UMC is in the morning on Friday.  I then go to Dr. Syn's office for my preop H&P.  I will come back Friday after this and return next Wednesday for my surgery on Thursday.  I am a little bit scared.  Who knows what mess Dr. Syn will find when he opens me up! lol

So you are going to be on liquids for 2 weeks?  I have no idea what to expect.  I guess I will find out on Friday!

Keep me posted on your progress!

 Had my surgery yesterday!  I got back home a couple of hours ago.  Dr. Acosta fixed the slip.  So, back on a liquid diet for 2 weeks then mushies for 2 weeks.  Your new surgery is coming up soon, too right?

Hi Kelly!  Yep surgery is just around the corner!  I am an older student that has gone back to college to enhance my career so I was praying that my Doctor was able to coordinate the surgery date just a few days prior to spring break. It worked out perfectly!  I took that as a positive sign. lol Thanks for being here.  It means a lot to have someone to talk with.
