Thanks Hazel! You've done a great job and you deserve this!

Girl I have missed talking to you. It's funny you should say that, because even though in my head I know I had all this surgery, I could easily see myself answering the Q "Have you had BA" and be like "No, these are natural". It's def a mental adjustment lol

I miss chatting with you too, but I will be back once they've sorted out the chat room properly. I can't work with it the way it is now!

Not sure if you are an RN or not, but if you are, you know how it is... one day slow and next day you can't catch your breath. I took 2 weeks off after my surgery and made my manager aware that I would kindly request 2 weeks of low acuity patients. The reason being is that not only are you healing physically, but as you transition from liquids to solids you are taking in very little calories that get burned up quick on a 12 hr shift. Definitely make Protein a priority and bring shakes with you to keep your energy up. Also, sit down as much as you can. Forget nurses bladder, go to the rest room frequently (another excuse to sit down hahaha) and drink alot of Water which is another thing we overlook when we get busy.

Hope this helps

Thank you so much. I am not a RN (yet, in school) but I am a Medical Assistant on a Inpatient unit (GI floor) , I am not approved for surgery or anything nor at goal yet. I was given recommendations for plastics and was going to make an appt for a consult before the end of the year so I can find out what needs to be documented (rashes, etc.)

I took off 4 weeks of PTO for my Lap Band surgery but I needed it, I was in pain. I told my manager I W

was having a hernia repair. I only work 3 days a week....12 hr shifts.

Thank you for the info.
