Hubby is home from the hospital!

MelAnne · 07-04-2006, 11:27 AM

Went great, he woke up fairly quickly and was ready to get home.

He has been sticking to the jello, water, broth and his protein shake (had first one this morning)

He has a lot of bruising across his stomach, I did not have that, and I have had 3 of these type surgeries. (Gallbladder, hernia repair and nissen wrap, then Lap Band)

It is SOOOOO different being on this side of the fence. I did NOT like him being in there for surgery. Even tho I knew the doctor, had done it myself, blah blah blah - I was scared &*^%#

I am so glad he is home, and smiling at me!!!

Yeah I can relate, Hubby and I used the same doctor who I trust undoubtly but I was ready to hear he was awake and talking.

Best of luck to the both of you!

He is doing great - he wants to eat things too soon - but otherwise he's glad to see the pounds down - he is down 10 pounds this morning - not bad for 4 days out!

Melanie, hope your husband is doing well. As far as wanting to eat, I made the mistake early on moving too fast to solids and my doctor really balled me out. Please make sure he follows the restricted diet. He can slip his band and cause additional irritation if he eats too soon. But again, I think you know that. Good luck.
