2 Weeks Post Op

Today marks two weeks post op. I'm feeling much better and ready to go back to work tomorrow. I can't believe how good I feel, especially after ready so many stories from people that had such a hard time post op.

My biggest concerns are that I'm having a hard time remembering to have some nutrition. The surgery pretty much removed all of my appetitie. I force myself to have a protein shake, or something else, just to keep my blood sugar stable.

No worries, since overall I feel great. My follow up appointment on Friday went well. Happy days.

Tired

Today I took my oldest son to a doctors appointment. I thought it would be good for me to get that done since I was feeling pretty good. I had a list of plans for the day, but the trip to the doctor, pharmacy and one other quick stop really had me worn out. I was out of the house for 2 1/2 hours and I was really drained.
So I cancel everything else, and decided to wait till another day to get those other things done.

2 Days Post-Op

On Monday April 7, 2014 my wife drove me to the hospital for my revision surgery. The surgery was scheduled for 10AM. While in surgery my doctor removed my lap band, and performed the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. 
The portion of my stomach that was removed was the 2nd largest that my doctor had ever removed. It was almost the size of a 2 liter pop bottle. 
The morning after the surgery, I was taken down to the radiology department for a swallow test/leak check.
I'm still sore in the upper abdominal region.
I was fortunate to be allowed to come home the next day (April 8th). So I spent last night at home.
I'm moving around pretty well. Drinking my fluids. Not hungry at all.
Thank you Dr. Taddeucci for your excellent work.
