So did I Kathy... When was your surgery?

How did you like St Vincent's?

\

My surgery was on November 7.

I have mixed feelings regarding St Vincents, The surgeon was great, the surgery went extremely well. The hospital staff at night was awesome, the day staff seems rather busy and I didnt see them much. One thing that really bothered me, was about a week after surgery, I had a fever after office hours, and I called the hospital operator (as directed) to have the PA call me back, I never was called back, when I questioned this at the next visit, I found out that another patient had the same issue, with not being called back

I'm glad I didn't choose St. Vincent's! My brother in law had his surgery there a few years ago and tried to talk me into it!

I think you made a good choice with Parma. They're a Center Of Excellence. Everyone there is always nice and helpful.

I think so too! I went for pre- op testing today and they nurses couldn't find a vein. They stayed calm the whole time and worked together without losing their patience which is nice!

Euclid here! Finished preop requirements and am waiting for appointment with the surgeon. Now I have to keep my weight off before the surgery - not easy with the holidays!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
