Topic: RE: Back from Richmond Hospital and sleeved...
Thanks for posting an update, Coach. By now I hope you're feeling steadier and stronger. :)
How long were you on the pre-op liquid diet? I've been offered the lap RNY and believe he told me he wanted a 4 week liquid diet. (I was so stunned he offered the surgery I can't recall whether that was pre- or post-op.)
Take care,
Cathrine

Topic: RE: Well, Here I Am - Back Again
Thanks for going into detail. It helps those of us who haven't been through it to know what goes on. Looks like each hospital handles things a bit differently. Too bad about not having your own room but that's our beloved health care system, eh. I'm looking forward to reading your post-op posts.
Take care,

Well I am happy to hear you are out and doing better, sucks about the pain meds!! Your situation is the perfect example why ppl need to bring earplugs and their own food (sugar free jello) Hospitals rarely seem to get it right!! Hope you can manage the pain ok at home and get the rest you need, congrats on getting on the losers bench can wait to hear updates!!

Topic: RE: Pain in the side
Well, I finally got to see Dr. S yesterday and after seeing my in person (as opposed to communicating by email or phone) he said that he can now get some sleep (he told me that he lost sleep all weekend worrying about me). His feeling is that it is probably a muscle strain. It may still be related to the kidney stone and he is going to send my GP a note asking him to send me to a urologist if the pain continues. Overall he was happy with the progress I have made, not just since surgery but since I started seeing him in April. I go back to see him in 3 months or sooner if anything else comes up.
