lyndynojo, why was your recovery so long? My surgeon said about 2 weeks. and what is this drain they put in?

[lyndynojo 140]

I work as an ultrasound tech and the machine I have to push is about 500 lbs so between that and having to lift patients my dr said 6 weeks. also my son had been in Afghanistan for the past year and was coming home so I took a couple of extra weeks to be home with him.

[lyndynojo 140]

the drain is a tube coming out of the stomach that keeps the Fluid drained. dr zizi uses it to look for a leak. i had to drink purple kool aid several times a day and make sure none showed up in the drain. it's not bad, doesn't hurt at all but feels weird when he pulls it out.

I'm from north La. Haven't had surgery yet. Hoping for the fall. Would love input. Anyone had surgery by Dr. Sartor in Monroe or Norwood and Metriman in Shreveport

I had a consultation with Dr. Sartor, I thought, but it was his nurse practitoner and then found out I wouldn't even meet him until the day before surgery and I really didn't like that. I do hear he's a good surgeon though. I used Dr Zizi in West Monroe and was very, very pleased with him. I have never heard anything at all about Norwood and choose not to comment on about Merriman.

I had Dr. Norwood, loved him, I also choose not to comment on Merriman. I live in central louisiana!

I live right out of New Orleans on the Westbank. My insurance doesn't approve any wls so I will be going to Mexico in a few months. Comfortable with my decision and super excited! Can't wait!

[Kandi24z 2]

I'm very fortunate my insurance approved, I'm still paying more than I expected though... but no telling what it could have been
