Topic: RE: test to testimony (mass update)
Not so good I guess a little fear is setting in. My children are getting scared. My two younger kids stayed up all night last night with worry. It has really pushed my daughter very close to the edge. She is worried that I will not make it. I just need a lot of prayer right now. I am trying to be strong and reassure my kids and others who are close to me that I will be alright.
My surgery is on Thursday at noon in Little Rock at Baptist.

Hi. I live in Ward. It's not Jacksonville but it's close enough. Lol.
I agree about not liking having to drive into Little Rock for meeting.

Topic: RE: Post-Op Update!
I see Dr. Baker again on Dec. 8th after I go to Baptist again at 5:30 AM and get my filter taken out.
I spoke to Addie earlier and she said that the kind of bandage I had on came off in 7 to 10 days. I'm not sure if they're steri strips or not... They're under this big plastic shield thing and it looks like gauze to me? Who knows. Addie seemed thrown that no one told me about the dressings, too.
Yeah, another 5 pounds... I got really dehydrated in the hospital (ie: they refused to give me fluids for 6 hours after my barium swallow until I threatened a nurse to give me apple juice or fear my wrath, literally) SO I have no idea if it's from me having such little fluid in me, or if it's from actual weight loss... We'll see in this next week. I was really suprised to get on the scale and see how much I had lost just within this last month. If I figure out what I did, I'll share the secret?
Thanks for your wow-ed comments, Susan. Made me feel great!

Wow.....for more than one reason! First, you're back to work already? Wow, ANOTHER 5 lbs?? And lastly, WOW, really???? No instructions on your sheet?
When do you see Baker again? Are the dressings just Steri Strips, or actual gauze dressings? Are you able to shower?
IF they are steri strips, then they will come off on their own. At least the ones I've had from my (numerous) surgeries have. Just to be sure, I'd call Addie.
The walking every 40 minutes has me perplexed, too. I can see the necessity of walking every 40 minutes right after surgery, but even now? Another question for Addie.

Sigh, I have to work on Thursday evenings... so someone PLEASE take notes and post them. I've tried the Spanks and they both rolled up on my theighs and down on my waist....I tried a different brand from Dillards, and they also rolled up on my theighs.
I've heard of Dr. Rays, but can't seem to find them. Anyhow.. I'd appreciate any info someone can pass along.

Topic: Anyone in Jacksonville?
I am having my RNY surgery on the 13th and would love to meet others in my own area. I love the idea of support group meetings, but the drive into Little Rock kills my gas tank. I live in Jacksonville and was hoping someone else did too!
Topic: RE: Baptist Hosp Support Group meeting!!
Sounds like fun. My surgery is the next morning (13th). I am going to try and attend. What time does it start?
