Re: 9 days out.

Selina,

I'm sorry your hospital experience was so terrible. Not a very positive start

to your new journey . :-( I was fortunate in that the hospital I was at had

individual rooms for their bariatric surgery patients. It was a new wing and

was really nice. The only thing bad things about it was there was not any hot

water so taking a shower was quite frigid. The hot water issue had not been

fixed until my last day of my second 2-week stay (I had been re-hospitalized for

pancreatitis after my surgery).

Glad you are home and doing better. Keep us updated!

9 days out.

I am 9 days out of surgey and feeling ok. Today I am even doing some

work from home not to stress full.

My hospital experinece was a nightmare. The firs nurse took about an

hour to get my morphine pump set up. I woke up in a lot of pain.

could not breath, my chest was killing me and my husband did make

the surgery after all kept telling them her chest hurts and she is

in pain. I whine alot but when I could not breath telling that nurse

that I hurt just out of surgery. She want me to tell her where my

pain was between 1-10. I was not happy.

I was never able to control my pain because you can only press the

button every ten mins. Every day that I was there I had the same

nurse did not make me any happier.

I am usually outspoken but I was hurting to much to say anything to

anyone.

My roommate little old lady had friend and family came in all day

long talking on their cell phones I did not say a word. When I came

back from doing the grastric graph I was trying to get out of the

wheel chair and she was tryin to get out of bed and she had push the

tray cart (not sure what it is called)in to me.

That night my mother and my 4 boys came to see me and the two little

ones where very happy. ages 10,8. She had complained that there was

too much noise and she could not get sleep so they moved her to a

different room. It was a good thing that I was on drugs.

But I feel wonderfull today. Tube is out open wounds are healing

well. When I was prompoted to soft solids I could have cried because

I was needing food. Cannot not wait until I try some different now.

I have lost 12 as of Monday when I went to the doc.
