Bree, I don't know what you mean? I'm saying that I may see you at the hospital today. Aren't you coming in? You'll be on my floor. They could take me back to the mariott before you get here though. You must have thought I was crazy. I wish the best for you. <3

Dang, didnt mean to upset people or break rules. My mind is also still quite a fog from lack of sleep and well body trauma? Nothing bad, I'll post later about it when I'm home and can write up a thorough review. Or that's the plan at least. Scsleever is correct. She's been out a whole and can think up a good clearly thought out answer. Basically I told them if give my experience a 3.5 and not to worry. And that as I get settled into the ways they do things here, the more I feel comfortable and confident in my decision. Paraphrased

Done

I'll pm

Sip sip BURRRP. sip sip BURRP. Hehe Getting to know my new little friend. He's got quirks. I can't wait to get this drain out. I wonder of its because I have such a short torso that this thing is painful for me. Who knows. Should get it out tomorrow. Looking at what comes out of it makes me wonder where all that stuff goes on patients who don't have drains.

I have a drain, so I'm pretty sure that's where the juices would go. Ew, juices. Yes, they check both sides for reasons mentioned above. I just asked before, if he could take a pic. I have some of it being cut and my sleeve too. Those will have to wait. And Laura, shame on you, blasting mx surgeries!!

Lol dr Garcia laughed when I said it was so big, his reply was "it's just little, but we blow it up with gas to check for leaks. " I wanted to know " is that what it looked like when I eat too much?" To which he said "probably, haha"

Lol ill try that link. It looks similar to the one that was shared. Ugly.

I'll see you at the hotel tomorrow, or maybe for a moment here at mi doctor.

Rofl, yay!! I have pads better put them on before i even leave. How long does that last?

Lol actually I haven't had anything for a while. It's posted twice in the thread now. Not sure what else I can do Silly

Well that's frustrating. I'll try again.

Hm. Shows up on my end

Cindysc Don't freak out. It's not like that. I don't know what happened here, but I don't have the sharts (yet?) and and there were no birthday suits seen. Unless it was mine and I could care less. I was asleep. Lol

You got it. Just didnt wanna gross anyone out. Gotta say, it's one of the best pics of it I've seen. I looked for shots like this when I was PRE op and didn't find anything. Is it teeny tiny? I can try to make it bigger somehow. I'm on my phone and sometimes it posts itty bitty.

No diarrhea yet but I brought menstrual pads, I suppose that'll work. Hahaha. No naked people. But I'm sire thy saw me. I was told I was neck kid for a moment.

Ps there were no naked people but I did see another person being worked on for a moment. In recovery I got to watch the screen of another persons surgery. Interesting but I was a lil queasy ATM. Dr. Garcia took a pic of my stomach but I didn't want to see it yesterday. I'll look today or see if he can email it to me. I woke up this morning in pain and nauseous but a lil meds cleared that up. I feel great now, bit i dont count on that to last. I have the window open and hear the birds and see the sunshine. I feel really halpy. I could cry. Ive wanted (needed) to feel hope regarding my weight for a long time and i finally feel it. Hope. I feel a lil hungry bit I think ya just acid. Also, don't be alarmed if you wake up in recovery spitting old brown blood. Apparently that's normal. My first was pretty red. Also normal. And I did that all night off and on. Eta- got a shower. That always makes me feel better too. I dislike figuring out unfamiliar hot/cold handles. Lol

I answered on the other thread. I don't think you're gonna give a hoot about your hair between the pain, nausea and sleepiness.

In my experience, you probably won't care what you look like. I've had quite a bit of pain and I'm walking the halls with no bra on because at the moment, I just don't care. Ponytail instead? Oh and for me, it's doesnt feel great to lift your hands up that high.

Dr. Garcia works out of mi dr. I'm there now and my experience wasn't quite like yours. Yikes.

Haha it did and I'm going back too. Lol I believe they remove the drain the day i leave, Monday. Yawn. Nighty night

Hola! I'm feeling ok. I've had her refill me up on pain killer 3-4 times now. It's the darned drain. I'm positive I'll feel better when they remove it. The tramadol(sp) sucked and I asked for something else. This works way better and (knock on wood), not much nausea at all after the switch. I'd read about the tramadol causing nausea in some. I'm super sleepy. Gonna run!

At mi doctor now and here is the obligatory stocking shot. And if you're lurking, hello there!!!

I emailed dr. Garcia about using pneumatic stockings. I don't know if that's the same bit he said he would if I remind melly when I get there.
