My surgeon was dr.fishman, he did a great job.

Pain has subsided, they do give you a lot of pain meds, dolauden, morphine, and liquid Percocet.

After the surgery I was not able to urinate, so they scan my bladder and I was about to explode, so nurse tries to put a cath in and fails, so he calls the resident doctor, who tried 3 times and could not do it, after two hours they finally get it after i kept asking for a urologisthowever, I still have the damn thing in me until tomorrow.

As for the hospital staff, I am not impressed.

1. After bariatric surgery you need to walk, try to get them to help you, I finally unplugged everything and got up on my own...funny thing is you are in a step down unit 24/7 monitoring, patient to nurse ratio 3 to 1, when you unplug the monitors they sould be running to you.

2. No shower or change of gown from 5/30 to 6/2, I said to the nurse when she was helping me put shorts on to leave would of been nice to have a shower and change of clothes, she was pse and gave me a morristown fleece blanket as a sorry,.

3. Not being cleaned means my cath was not cleaned at all.

4. Press the nurse call button, sometimes they answer, sometimes they dont.

If they do answer they ask, what do you need? I say for instance want to get up, need Water, they say ok someone will be right there, 30min later no one comes.

There were three good nurses, kathy brown, Elizabeth, and mark, the rest are **** in my book and morristowns step down unit should be investigated, center of excellence, hell no.

Tom I work here at Morristown and am so disappointed to hear of your treatment. Why were you in the hospital so long? Fishman is also my Dr. How are you feeling?

I feel great, besides the cath.

Dr. Fishman is great. I stayed there so long because they thought my pain was from the resident puncturing my bladder and waned to do a CT, which was ordered the Thursday evening and I did not get it until Friday evening, so dr. Fishman said I should just stay over night so we can monitor you.

It's free to sign up for a meetup.com account and request to join the group. I've used meetup.com before, and it's a great easy way to post suggestions and details for meetups.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
