Red Bess Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 My better half Sjöröveren is having gastric by-pass surgery this morning. The lads and I are in the waiting room now, but the word is so far so good. I would appreciate prayers and positive thoughts for a successful outcome and a speedy recovery. I'll keep you posted to his condition. Thanks, mates! Ladies in Scarlet: Piratical Art and Accessories
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 He isn't doin it by himself with one of the crew holding a mirror is he??? Best wishes, he will come thruogh just fine, I have all the confidence in that he is a strong willed pyrate. Bo
Silkie McDonough Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Prayers fer yer lad Bess. Keep us posted.
Rumba Rue Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 First that's an awesome decision he's made and I give him lots of kudos for doing it. I'm positive he'll come out just fine and soon to be a thinner self.
Capt. Sterling Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Done! Prayers are on their way.

LadyBarbossa Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Aye, here be hopes an' prayers ol' Sea Rover goes through th' procedure without fault and that speedy recovery. and beyond, that his health remains and improves. A tricky gambit it is... but good choice, too. Many folks I've seen do this procedure and come out thinner but also healthier in many ways. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!"

Red-Handed Jill Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Aye - a friend of mine went through it and in a matter of months had completely lost his rather large belly. He felt a lot better, too! Will send good thoughts your way.
Ransom Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I've known two people to undergo such a surgery, and come through just fine. And the weight they lost afterwards made it all worth while. I will send all good thoughts and prayers your way, for a speedy recovery. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Red Bess Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 Well, the surgery went well and he's recovering in his room now. Groggy as hell, but still being a smart-ass, so I think he's going to be just fine. I'm really proud of him for doing this. Not something to be taken lightly. But he has struggled with weight all his life, and at this stage (50+) he felt it was the right thing to do. And doctors agreed. Of course, now he will need all new pirate garb.... I think maybe that was part of the plan all along... Ladies in Scarlet: Piratical Art and Accessories
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Glad to hear it, and hope to meet the "new" him someday, although I never got to meet the "old' him. Hang in there. Bo
Capt. Sterling Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 Groggy as hell, but still being a smart-ass, so I think he's going to be just fine. Well that's a good sign if ever there was one...

Merrydeath Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 I was thinking about him today.. wishing him well and hoping all went well!! Its wonderful to hear he is doing ok and on the way to a slimmer and healthier Rover. I'll have to buy him a diet soda or tea at the faire, but I'm a happy pirate to hear the good news!!

Red Bess Posted August 23, 2008 Author Posted August 23, 2008 He's doing well, still very uncomfortable at times, but taking fluids and walking up and down the hallways. Not sure if they will send him home over the weekend, or wait until Monday. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. It means a lot to both of us.

Sjöröveren Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 I am happy to report that I am home and feeling pretty good. Yesterday was pretty bad, as all the CO2 used to inflate my abdomen tried to find an escape route. After trying to rise and go out my shoulders, the gas wised up and chose the only exit nature has provided me. Today I am feasting on 1/2 teaspoonfuls of sugar-free jello and other such luxuries. But I have seen another tide, and will sail again soon! the Fool's Gold Pirates
