    Ditto on the chicken broth. My biggest must have was my heating pad. Worked wonders for me!

    Check my posting on Dr. Kelly. He is awesome too. If you need experience combined with very personal attention and care, he's the man.

    Ask your doctor about Skyla IUD , it is for women who haven't had children yet or who need only 3 yr birth control.

    patva got a reaction from Cheer Mama in Post op day 2, liquids hurt my sleeve!   
    Hello Thinner, I am post op day 6. I am on Clear Liquids. I, too , had that sensation of pain, Fluid getting stuck, and cramping when I sipped on fluids. It is normal. Just take small sips, take time between sips, and take deep breathe in and out if it feels like fluid is stuck and won't move.

    Going to Dr Kelly. 5200 plus 1000 (500 hernia and 500 high bmi). Have PCOS as well. Took me 7 years and lots of infertility treatments to get pregnant. This surgery is way cheaper than most of the infertility stuff and it will be dual pirpose...weight loss and increase fertility. I say go for it.

    I'll answer some questions for you. This is why I posted to help others.
    Lucerna is so relaxing. It was being at a resort. It is so beautifully landscaped. You get Shampoo soap and all that, hairdryer....
    You get 1 bowl of broth per day and how ever many popsicles you want. The bowl is huge. Maybe take something to measure. I told Dr Kelly that was overkill and a waste. You can eat very little. There is room service but I didn't see Jello and gatorade but there is an7/11 type store across from Florence Hospital and the Lucerna where you can purchase it. They put 2 bottles of Water in your room every day. It has free wifi and if you need to print return boarding passes there is a few computer terminals you can use and print them out behind the check in counter.
    Dr Kelly only does 2 surgeries a day. He also takes you to Hospital Angelse with state of the art leak test.
    I felt so good the day after. Dr Kelly and his wife Cece are so down to earth people you don't feel intimidated. Let me tell you, there are a lot of good lookind Drs at florence. One of the nurses named Fatima looked just like my granddaughter so I thought she was a little special. And she talked good English. Let me know if you have any more questions.
    Oh, i was out weeding the flower beds today...just a little and walked the dog
    Look into Unjury products..I bought a bunch....chicken Soup, no flavor and Syntrax nector has sample packets you can purchase. My faves are Choc latte, Choc truffle and Cookies and cream. I used them before surgery and mixed with almond milk and ice makes a nice milk shake....oh yeah...don't forget a magic bullitt.
