    Default Surgery is complete, Dr. Borland

    Day 2 was so much better than I anticipated. Walked 2 miles and went to see La La Land with my bride. I was discharged tonight.

    I can not say enough how Wonderful Dr. Borland and his staff treated me. The Iberia Surgical Center was outstanding. If anyone is considering Dr. Borland, please do not hesitate.

    Now on to my new life and relearning the way I eat.

    Congrats on having such a great recovery and walking 2 miles today!! That is great! You'll get the eating down. It takes a while. I am still having some trial and error moments and I will be 11 weeks tomorrow!

    Hmmm... that was my surgeon too. And my my daughter's. We both had lots of complications starting about a month post op. On the bright side, we're both super duper skinny now only she's permanently disabled because local doctors failed her when she became catastrophically ill due to complications. In all fairness to Dr. Borland, we did not go back to him for further treatment...but then again, he didn't seem to care much when we called to tell him there were problems.

    Watch out for vomiting. I can't be 100% sure, but I think the fact that he uses such a small size bougie for our new tummies may have something to do with it. We have the smallest.

    Best of luck to you. Stay on top of those liquids and vitamins!!
