I am considering gastric sleeve surgery and am interested it hearing about any
post-op issues and also anyone who has had the surgery several years ago and any
subsequent weight gain. Thanks in advance.
My surgery was three years ago this September. I've had no post op complications of any sort and have lost 85 #s. I would like to lose another 20 , but am content where I am. My life is fuller and richer and I've done things that I would never have done without having lost the wt. I was in Hawaii at the beginning of June and was snorkling with the Manta rays in Manta Bay Kona and then went horse back riding across the Waimea Valley. I did the zip line in Costa Rica last March and never have to worry about what people seated next to me are thinking about "having to sit next to her "..... the fatty. I can pull the lunch tray down to where it is suppose to go and am no longer confined by the constraints of a heavy body.
Best decision I could have ever made.
Blessings on your wt loss journey.

I had my surg feb 24, 2009. The only trouble I had was with drainage. Go back
and look at end of feb and first of march post. I think this is my 1st post
after surg that I am pasting below. btw it will soon be 4mths the 24 of june
and so far I have lost a lil over
60 lbs. : ) I have about 30 more to go. God Bless!!

""Hi everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know I am doing good. One
note u may want to take is dont get massage the day before surg cos
even after u shower u are still oily and its hard 4 them to do ekg.
I had surg Tues came to kristal thur but I still have my drainage tube
in and that has me a lil scared but Drs say its blood from surg not new
blood. We went to ER Fri morn scared about how much was in bag but
they did test and think its fine.
Dr Joya has been sick since the day I left hostipal not sure what it is
but they said temp chance from surg to diff rooms and he had spasms. 2
other drs have been cking on me and they may do another ultrasound
tomorrow if needed.
Everyone keep praying please and may by morn drainage will have stopped
and they can take this out.""
Thanks

Looking forward to the trip and getting surgery behind me. So, how r u doing with ur weight loss, seems like people lose very quickly. What do u do in PV? Does the hospital he uses serve other medical problems and not only weight loss surgery. I think that's something they suggest, but it really isn't true. Lots to learn. Thanks for writing. Lots of luck to u in ur journey. Julie

I had my surgery on May 4th. Have lost 35 pounds. My husband and I have lived in PV for 6 years and we own an outdoor furniture store. Dr. Joya uses a couple different hospitals and they are very good, and treat everything. Just look ahead and not backward. I hope you are doing the pre diet, that is very inmportant.
Have a safe trip down.

Thanks for posting, Penny. I'm leaving Sun. Hope Dr. Joya is well
and we have no problems. I had the band, so I hope he can do the sleeve
and there won't be any leak problems, we'll see. Best of luck. Julia

be 4mths the 24 of june and so far I have lost a lil over
60 lbs. : ) I have about 30 more to go. God Bless!!

""Hi everyone, I just wanted to let everyone know I am doing
good. One
note u may want to take is dont get massage the day before surg cos
even after u shower u are still oily and its hard 4 them to do ekg.
I had surg Tues came to kristal thur but I still have my drainage tube
in and that has me a lil scared but Drs say its blood from surg not new
blood. We went to ER Fri morn scared about how much was in bag but
they did test and think its fine.
Dr Joya has been sick since the day I left hostipal not sure what it is
but they said temp chance from surg to diff rooms and he had spasms. 2
other drs have been cking on me and they may do another ultrasound
tomorrow if needed.
Everyone keep praying please and may by morn drainage will have stopped
and they can take this out.""
Thanks
Penny

I had my Sleeve done March 2008. In that time, Ive lost 111 lbs. I wont tell you that its been real easy....but considering what I went thru b4 surgery, trying to lose weight....its been a Godsend. Its one of the best decisions of my life. I had only one surgical complication - enlarged liver which got lacerated. Dr. Joya repaired it and continued on with my Sleeve. I did lose alot of blood and need transfusions, but Ive needed those after every surgery that Ive ever had (chronic anemia). The complication didnt result in any extra pain or hospital time. I did have some extra incisions/stitches. The reason I had the enlarged liver was pretty easy and completely my fault. I didnt follow my pre-op diet to the letter. So, I urge you to be sure and follow it completely! I could have saved myself that complication, plus additional money had I followed the
diet. Also, my advice - take the complication insurance that is offered now (at least I believe its still offered). I wish it had been offered when I got mine. Good luck!

Thanks Lisa - I'm thinking that your situation, and that of one other man who had complications, is part of what triggered the offering of complication fund - at least it seems like similar timing :)
I'm definitely paying the extra $500 for the complication fund. Even with such an extremely low complication rate, it is worth the added security!

I had the sleeve surgery April 13th 2009 and I am doing great. I was very careful to follow the advice of the team and I have not had any problems. I think this is one of those you listen and all should go well situations. At least it worked for me!
All the best to you. You will be glad you did it!
