    so it was my turn to be AWOL... i simply forget to check msgs lol. i am so sorry you have had such a rough time. are you still regetting it? or have you made friends with your sleeve? i was having an issue with food "sticking", it hurt to eat. but my dr gave me some meds that have really helped...which is great cuz he was concerned about a stricture. Now i am able to eat much more comfortably. still ony get in 3 maybe 4 oz at a meal but i guess that is ok. my labs were all great and i am down 30 lbs (and a pant size) so i am very happy. keep me informed on your progress ...

Postop day 2

by ljweartz on 06-15-2014 at 12:29 PM
Slept pretty good last night. Had to wake up at 6 am to start drinking the "purple water" as it is called. I'm not going to lie - it's freaking nasty!! Made me a little queasy this morning. Then when we got to X-ray, we had to drink more crappy stuff during it. When we got back to the hotel, I met up with some other surgery patients and had broth in the restaurant. Since I am leaving tonight, the nurse will pull my drain and IV around 3 or so, and I'm told I will feel better after this

Postop day 1

by ljweartz on 06-15-2014 at 12:25 PM
The night was rather uneventful. Some gas pain but I slept in the recliner in my room and that seemed to help a bit. My roommate was discharged early in he morning to go back to the room. But I was kept because the hotel did not have any rooms. About 11:45, the nurse came in and said that the hotel had called with rooms so the driver would be there to pick us up soon.

Postop day 0 - surgery day

by ljweartz on 06-14-2014 at 12:29 AM
I was picked up in the lobby at 9:45 am for preop testing. After that, we went to the hospital. I am sharing a room with a local who speaks very little English and I speak no Spanish. However, we are managing to check on each other. We did meet with Dr. Almanza for about 30+ minutes and I found him to be very personable. His English is relatively good, and he explained the surgery and plan twice: once in Spanish for my roommate and once in English for myself. I have not had any pain since surgery.

Journey to the center of the sleeve :)

Observations on my flight
I never realized how boring flying was when you can't eat (or drink) your way through the flight! I decided to fly first class to San Diego and I am glad I spent the extra money. While I wasn't able to eat the meal that was served, the flight attendant was extra attentive in making sure my water bottle or apple juice glass was full. I had also forgotten that you get the good stuff in first class - no plastic cups up here!
