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 :)

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
