Well how is it over there?

ts actually quite lovely. Everyone there is super nice and sweet - and not that you're really gonna be interested but some of the ladies might be - there's male eye candy EVERYWHERE!

Lupita the iv nurse is great - she's small enough to fit in your pocket - almost literally -I have horrendus veins because of all the IV's I had to have for my other medical issues - she did great. Tried one arm it wasn't a go - got the other arm right away - I'm the only person she had to stick more than once.

Everything is clean and proper clean practices are used. Itt can be a little noisy at times, but that happens anywhere. My husband was treated (as were the rest of us) like members of the family.

We stopped by the recovery house to drop people off and its fantastic - we chose to stay at the hotel which is quite lovely - hubby says the food is amazing and they've got popsicles for me and broth too :) Can't wait till I can have some broth :)

I never felt uneasy or concerned about anything. I may not work in the medical field, but my sister is a nurse, my step mother is a hosptail department administrator - I was an EMT2 and did distaster relief. Plenty of medical experience being around it enough and I was completely satisfied.

went back this evening for a quick checkup - got my antibiotics and pain meds for the night - and the blue goo to drink in the morning. They take out my iv thingy, my drain and do my xray tomorrow. Then I go home. Its been quite a great trip actually - the whole staff is so delightful.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
