Florance vs Mi hospital



Recommended Posts

I was still not sure I wanted to change to florence after being scheduled for Mi Doctor' date=' but after speaking to alma at r4ac it seems like Mi Doctor isn't an option anymore anyway. I was told "all surgeries have been moved to Florence." And then was told to fill out a new consent form with Florence Hospital indicated instead of Mi Doctor like my original. I think for the most part it's kinda a toss up. They both seem to have some pros and cons. So I guess florence it is for me now too! lol[/quote']

There I go again being a trouble maker lol

I moved Janine and I and I think Liz changed - sorry if it was my fault K .. I think we will be fine there tho x

Lol I should have known you were behind this!!! Hahaha I'm not worried about it honestly, I just wasn't 100% sold on switching. I guess that made my choice pretty darn easy though, didn't it?!? lol But I'm sure it'll be just fine :)

I did see that. Though noise is really not an issue for me, and that seems to be the one agreed upon point, that its quieter. The rest seems to be subjective in regards to feel and comfort, with the only person I've read about (above) who has been to both, actually preferring the overall feel of Mi Doctor. And so help me God, if I need it, and feel like I struggle to get pain control, you're ALL gonna know about it because I'll be the one screaming at the nurses while we do our laps! Haha I'm a wimp and I'm anxious about hurting since I've had so many abdominal surgeries before. I had a hard time with pain with my band replacement in India because they don't really believe in pain meds. I've read a few times that Mi Doctor was better about pain meds than florence. But, I'm not shy about my low pain threshold so if I'm hurting, they'll hear about it! Lol And I'm bringing some pain meds from my primary care for travel home, just in case.

So overall, I'm not sure I would have switched, but I'm not upset about it either. And I'm glad our whole group will be together :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
