  1. Good luck & remember you are in better health then the first time around let's hope there will be no compactions this time.
  2. Update blood sugars are coming down now have to watch they don't go low. Drain hole is drying up to everything the Doctor said would happen is happening. Maybe Doctors do know a thing or two
  3. Best of luck to all I'm 6 day post op feeling all most normal not much pain left. The first few days are the hardest. You will be alright Good Luck
  4. Wps2 don't give up on your surgery you did the right thing and they will find out what happened to you .lets hope for the best
  5. Good for you . Dont wait for others when you can do for your self We joined a gym and have met others just like me. It's a small world and we made some new friends.
  6. Mslady depending on your state and your company you may be able to file for medical leave from your job and file for state disability . Don't know what state your in you may want to check with your HR Dept and state. We had a pool put in last year and the family decided to have a stay-cation this year so I could have surgery and will make it up next year and then put away as much money as we could. Good luck you will be alright
  7. Amanda this is a Great Fourm got any Questions just ask everyone here is on the same page and will answer your questions.
  8. MsCook I look at food and have no desire for it. I eat Becuse I have to not Becuse I want to anymore last night it took 45 min to eat a1/2 cup of jello and a 1/4 cup of beef broth. But that will change to for I have been getting cravings I want Kraft Mac & Cheese. Yesterday I dreamed of a Ham & Cheese Sub I'm getting better or I really I'm whack-o
  9. Amanda we all had to make that tough decision to have RNY. I'm 6 days post op feeling good pain is just about gone I'm walking my fat off. You won't regret having the surgery. I see it as being around a lot longer to see my little boy grow up and have his own kids and to just be heathy for ones in my life. You have made the Right Decision Good Luck
  10. I'm told that the colder it is the better it goes down. I'm 5 days post op and water goes down fine if it's super cold. And walking help a lot
  11. Has anyone had their blood sugar's not come down after surgery. Mine are not high around 130 - 180. My doctor is not worried just wondering if this is common. And how lone be for your drain hole stop leaking (sorry about the gross drain hole part)
  12. Good luck the diet is the hard part. After surgery you won't want to eat.
  13. Nobody woke me up thought the night every 20 min to take blood pressure temp or just to see if I needed anything.
  14. Good luck it's hard but you can do it

    Hang in there it's hard. I did everything I could to keep to keep from slipping wash all the dish like 10 times in a row my floor is so clean you could eat of it yum food (sorry) .go for walks . My surgery was monday 5 days later I don't want food Hang in there sorry I'm not much help we all have to find it in our selfs for this is the hardest thing I have ever done.
  16. Good luck joe it will be over befor you know it. My surgery was on Monday I feel good Do as doctors say sip sip sip water and walk it does help. PS use the pain Med's they will help to
  17. Congrats to you. Had my surgery Monday know how you feel. Take care they say it gets better
  18. Just something my doctor does he wants 4 day and it's on the Insurance company's dime
  19. 4 days in this mental ward they call a hospital will drive you crazy. For the room rate they charge they sure don't want you to miss anything and keep waking you up to enjoy it. Will be good to be home. My step daughter just go home from collage in Japan will be here for 4 weeks then back to school. Japanese university's don't mess around but it's a way better education then what she would get in the states. Can you tell I'm BORED.

  21. Surgery done 7:30 this morning feel like crap but getting better walking helps Pain MED'S GOOD
