Florance vs Mi hospital



Recommended Posts

I was still not sure I wanted to change to florence after being scheduled for Mi Doctor' date=' but after speaking to alma at r4ac it seems like Mi Doctor isn't an option anymore anyway. I was told "all surgeries have been moved to Florence." And then was told to fill out a new consent form with Florence Hospital indicated instead of Mi Doctor like my original. I think for the most part it's kinda a toss up. They both seem to have some pros and cons. So I guess florence it is for me now too! lol[/quote']

There I go again being a trouble maker lol

I moved Janine and I and I think Liz changed - sorry if it was my fault K .. I think we will be fine there tho x

Lol I should have known you were behind this!!! Hahaha I'm not worried about it honestly, I just wasn't 100% sold on switching. I guess that made my choice pretty darn easy though, didn't it?!? lol But I'm sure it'll be just fine :)

I did see that. Though noise is really not an issue for me, and that seems to be the one agreed upon point, that its quieter. The rest seems to be subjective in regards to feel and comfort, with the only person I've read about (above) who has been to both, actually preferring the overall feel of Mi Doctor. And so help me God, if I need it, and feel like I struggle to get pain control, you're ALL gonna know about it because I'll be the one screaming at the nurses while we do our laps! Haha I'm a wimp and I'm anxious about hurting since I've had so many abdominal surgeries before. I had a hard time with pain with my band replacement in India because they don't really believe in pain meds. I've read a few times that Mi Doctor was better about pain meds than florence. But, I'm not shy about my low pain threshold so if I'm hurting, they'll hear about it! Lol And I'm bringing some pain meds from my primary care for travel home, just in case.

So overall, I'm not sure I would have switched, but I'm not upset about it either. And I'm glad our whole group will be together :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
