  17. oh ok then i would wait til the full 4-6weeks im on the cancer unit so lifting i can relate to take care and god bless you will be fine even when you get clear becarfull the 1st month i kept banging my port from being to close to the beds or bending wrong even to this day it aches every now and then.
  18. well im no RN but CNA and med/ surg in the hospital i was off 2 weeks and no lifting over 10 pounds for 4 weeks and i did great . however you are a RN and dont require heavy lifting as a CNA but listen to your body i was up walking good in 2weeks just take a note from the doctor as a back up not to lift over 10 pounds for 4 weeks that way u can return just with limits. hope that helps a little
  19. YES , go ahead and start go through your insurance company and find out all the requirements , then pick your gastric surgeon find out all her/his requirements 6months will fly by before you know it. and dont miss any appointments.
  20. i asked my self the same thing and i asked my doctor for a personal opp' she said she feels 190 would be great she just wants me under 200 since my blood pressure became life threating after 220 i thought about it over and over and i came to this i will keep loosing til i feel very comfortable and happy if its 200 or under im the one got to live with me and as long as im happy with my self..hey what else is there to say
  21. my prayers are with you....just remember theres a blessing in all storms god will see you through it all.
  22. also state to your doctor that you feel like your gasping for air while you sleep so you stay awake because you fear you may die in your sleep.
