Husband and Wife Both on "The Losing Side"
I had surgery on Oct 21st and Mary had hers last Friday. Same doctor and same hospital. She got home yesterday and is doing very well. She had to stay an extra day because she was a little dehydrated. She is sore but it is tolerable.
Earlier this year she had both of her knees replaced at separate times and she reports that the gastric surgery discomfort is far milder than the knee replacements.
She had one issue with retaining gas following the surgery that I did not have. We were told that women are more affected by the gas that is pumped into you for lap surgery than men. I did not experience any discomfort from the gas.
Our bottom line is that you need the best surgeon and the best hospital and your outcomes will be good in almost all cases.
