I am going to st Marys. Where was your sleeve done? Did he have you stay 2 nights? I have my pre- appt in 2 weeks. How was your recovery?

Surgery was at North Ottawa Community Hospital in Grand Haven. He has an office there too. They hold 2 nights but I only stayed 1 night. Just wanted to sleep in my bed even though it was much easier using the hospital bed to get in and out of. Smooth recovery as recoveries go. Msg me & I can answer more detailed.

I'm super sore, I had a haital hernia repaired while my sleeve done. But I'm doing good. First night home and ready to get some rest. Just waiting for my meds to kick in. My surgery was done in McLaren northern Michigan hospital in Petoskey. Dr. Nagle and dr. Baker switch weeks and travel north to take on patients that other wise wouldn't have surgery because of the traveling. I am 100% pleased and happy with dr. Nagles performance and bedside manner. He awoke me early this morning to ask me how my night went and how my pain was and if I had any questions or concerns and then explained my hiatal hernia. It was nice to be able to talk to him while the hospital was quite and calm.

Those of you who had surgery at St. Mary's, Grand Rapids, was there a place for your family members to stay while you were in the hospital?

Well I just went for my pre-op appt yesterday. I am lucky in that I only have to do a 1 week pre-op diet. Its been fine, nothing too terrible. They have you do alot of processed foods which isn't my favorite but oh well.

I go for labs thurs and I am scheduled for 730am mon(st marys). I am happy to be first thing too. 2 night stay prob unless they think I am ok sooner. They really have their stuff together, everything is stream lined and well communicated. I have nothing but good things to say about GHP. So happy my ins will cover this so I didn't have to go far away.

Are you getting excited! You aren't far off,
