    So the bill says 110,915.17 after all the discounts it totals 28,207.00 that's a pretty penny IMO not to bad considering I spent 4 days in a private room at Cedars Sinai..

    Just Got My Bill From The Hospital...

    soocalchic replied to soocalchic's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Might have some ulcerations going on might want to reduce acidy foods ie coffe tomato based foods and see if it improves.. Just a thought.
  7. soocalchic
    Acid reducers before going to bed..
  8. soocalchic
    Blood is probably from the acid and throwing up like the earlier poster suggested take acid reducing meds before you go to get it will definitely help out. Also try not to eat 2 hours before going to bed. If you had an obstruction you would be in lots of pain and have a fever for sure.

    Make sure you are drinking your acid reducing meds.. They help ease the queasiness.

    Having the drain in hurt so bad that when I had it removed it didn't hurt at all I got instant relief.. The tube kept rubbing up against my diaphragm every time I breathed in it hurt bad.. So no it doesn't hurt make sure you take your meds before you get it taken out.
  17. soocalchic
    Due to all the trauma of surgery the body creates lots of excess fluid that needs to be taken out via a JP drain. I had my lapband removed and converted over to a sleeve same procedure.. Hence the need for the drain.

    Has Anybody Else...

    soocalchic replied to Di-Sleeve's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Had surgery 2weeks ago also I have 2 1" incisions since I was a lapband to sleeve revision. So they're sore and itchy it will get better.. I have a bruised belly still from the blood thinner shots I had there. I've been using polysporin on my incisions to make them heal better.

    Who are you telling I had a drain that was left in for 8 days that was so uncomfortable 10 mgs of Percocet wouldn't help. I got pneumonia was hospitalized for 4 days no other complications other than that.. When the drain came out I started feeling 100% better no nausea I've been drinking well. Hope you're feeling better

    Hmmm I Have Noticed A Change!

    soocalchic replied to Bawse52's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories

    I think the one inch per 10 lbs might be a bit of an exaggeration if the guy isn't well endowed to begin with no matter how much he loses he isn't going to miraculously sprout a big one lol
