Well how is it over there?

(null)

ts actually quite lovely. Everyone there is super nice and sweet - and not that you're really gonna be interested but some of the ladies might be - there's male eye candy EVERYWHERE!

Lupita the iv nurse is great - she's small enough to fit in your pocket - almost literally -I have horrendus veins because of all the IV's I had to have for my other medical issues - she did great. Tried one arm it wasn't a go - got the other arm right away - I'm the only person she had to stick more than once.

Everything is clean and proper clean practices are used. Itt can be a little noisy at times, but that happens anywhere. My husband was treated (as were the rest of us) like members of the family.

We stopped by the recovery house to drop people off and its fantastic - we chose to stay at the hotel which is quite lovely - hubby says the food is amazing and they've got popsicles for me and broth too :) Can't wait till I can have some broth :)

I never felt uneasy or concerned about anything. I may not work in the medical field, but my sister is a nurse, my step mother is a hosptail department administrator - I was an EMT2 and did distaster relief. Plenty of medical experience being around it enough and I was completely satisfied.

went back this evening for a quick checkup - got my antibiotics and pain meds for the night - and the blue goo to drink in the morning. They take out my iv thingy, my drain and do my xray tomorrow. Then I go home. Its been quite a great trip actually - the whole staff is so delightful.

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
