  1. How much should I take?
  2. I'm just hitting "ok". This thing is the biggest PITA!!!
  3. First little NSV! I have these underwear that are a little too small, the front tends to roll down under my tummy. Just put them on and they are staying in place. I need a scale!
  4. I know! I thought I would have morphine! I really was regretting going to that hospital for a while but they found something for me.
  5. How tall are you? I was 315 when I met surgeon and 299 day of surgery. I hope your weight keeps coming off!
  6. Hi, I have a head ache but I'm ok. Yesterday everytime I drank even an ounce it would gurgle and growl and I would burp. It's just going down now without so much trouble. They let me sleep for quite a bit last night so that's great. I just ordered my lovely Breakfast of optisource. I really think these techs must be over worked and under paid, none of them seem happy at all.
  7. How much to inhibit hair loss? Any kind better than others?
  8. I can't wait to see how much I lost in the past few days. I actually got some sleep last night so that's awesome.
  9. Thanks! Where do you live?
  10. I could have said "it was a pleasure having your tool inside me."
  11. I could have said "it was a pleasure having your tool inside me."
  12. Well I'm all kinds of funny. My husband and j have a weird sense of humor. I asked him yesterday if it would be ok to say to my surgeon "it was a pleasure having you inside me." He said no. Lol. Hey it could have been worse!
  13. I can't find a silent button, I wish! I have to stay again tonight. After everything UHC put me through for the last two years I'm kind of glad they have to pay for an extra day, the bastards.
  14. Thank you! OMG the IV alarm is going off again. Wtf?
  15. I'm in the hospital now, had surgery yesterday. I'm so glad I switched!
  16. Last night they were in every hour taking vitals or giving me meds, they took blood at 4 am. I was like "seriously?" And then they took my blood sugar a few times. Today I have seen the nurse, head nurse, the surgeon, the surgeon's nurse practitioner, the hospitalist, the dietician, the chaplain; the tech, house keeping and a volunteer. I also had a transport person and radiology come in to take me for my test. I'm here for another night because I wasn't getting enough fluids in. I switched to warm fluids and it's much better now. Hopefully they leave me alone for a few hours tonight. They aren't making me walk around, they are just glad Im getting up to pee and I took a shower.
  17. I don't know. I'm waiting on the surgeon. My IV pump is driving me insane right now, some alarm is going off and they won't come in and turn it off. I'm about to throw it out the window.
  18. Had it done yesterday, just had my leak test, it's fine. I really want to go home because they won't let me sleep. I swear every two hours someone is in here. Driving me nutty. I feel like I have lost five pounds in 24 hours, my lower belly feels a lot smaller. Of course there's nothing in it at all so that could be it!!!
  19. They are really pissing me off. This morning I was told they would bring more pain meds. It took them an hour. I had to ask three times/ I am not happy. Want to go home.
  20. Thank you. I'm praying.
  21. Hi I'm ok except in a lot of pain and they will only give me Lortab which Tylenol #3. I'm really pissed off. They are calling the dr to see if he will give me something else. I just had my stomach cut out, I didn't have tooth taken out! My back is killing me too.
  22. Woohoo! I'm sitting here waiting to go into surgery!!! Good luck to you!
