Topic: RE: A little more than 12 hours and counting
I am doing fairly well. I am a bit sore from pulled muscles in that area from a cough i had shortly after the surgery. Also i had a hematoma in the largest of the incisions on my side that had to be reopened up, and then became infected. I have been taking antibiotics and having a VNA nurse pack it daily. It sounds worse than it really is, but i really just want it to heal and be past this phase of things.

 Kathy,

I had actually figured more than a year, so I am not surprised at 18 months. I am definitely not in a hurry! 200 pounds is fantastic! Good for you!

Thanks so much for this info.


Best of luck to you!

Hi Kathy, good to see you! How are you doing, how's life? You know, as a 5-year graduate out of Middlesex (RNY on 3/8/04), I feel sad about the SG meetings having gone so sour there. They used to be great - strong attendance, lots of good support and advice. I think the hospital needs to get back to structure, such as what HH is offering. And perhaps weekly meetings are too ambitious and might tend to water down the effectiveness of the meetings. It's too bad - I feel a very strong loyalty to Middlesex and Dr. A. Take care, Maureen

Is that our Paul?

Hagatha reporting for duty so I can steal CD's.

He's a cutie but then I am partial to Italians.

Let me tell you hun, when you find the right one you will know. Mark and I met and knew right away. Ok, so we talked online for about a month before we met in person. Just enjoy being with him and don't worry about what might or might not happen.

I shall now be know as Hagatha: Queen of the queens.

Topic: RE: Primary Care Physicians
I am not sure about how much my PCP knows. I do know if I have a question I am calling my surgeons nurse to ask them.

My surgeon did take matters into his own hands with my current health issues and it really pissed off my PCP. Personally, I am thrilled he did since I think my PCP was out of his league with it and I needed a specialist.

Good luck with this part of the journey.

Welcome!

I decided to have surgery because I was unable to move due to arthritis in my back and knees. I had to do something and this was it.

Yeah, not a big fan of the SG at Middlesex too much. It's about a 45 minute drive for me (one way) and to get little to nothing out of it isn't worth the drive.
