I go for my first appointment with "the team" at Dr. Savoie's office on Oct. 22. Anybody have any suggestions if things I should bring/ask? Will I meet with all three at the same time or individually?
Hi Jen....did you say you are signing your papers on Oct 3rd.....so am I. What time are you going?

I asked the Dr if the thrush could be because of my diet and he said no. My hubby said he heard the nurse tell me one of the little bags in the if was antibiotics. And my Dr said that for sure we would have gotten some while we were still out for the surgery. Oh well, minor nuisance.
Oh yes, I forgot about the trush! I'm not sure everyone gets it but I did, and did the rinse for a week or so. I presumed it was because we're not eating solids and therefore not naturally scraping the residue off our tongues. I don't remember being on antibotics after surgery, just pain / nauseau meds fora few days but my memory may not be serving me well.
Good luck with your interview today, I'm sure it'll be nice to have that behind you. I'm glad to hear you're on the mend, you'll feel 100% after getting your staples are out. I had one that wasn't very tight and used steri strips on it before and after the staples were removed. You're well on your way!

After my first few days in the hospital, things have been pretty good. There is no pain in the stomach itself ( apparently very few pain receptors lol) and the staple holes are really bothering me either. The most pain in the butt is the sensation of being hungry. Sometimes it feels like a gnawing pain in my stomach. I called Dr b's office after one night of no sleep from the pain and they said it's the acid making that sensation. I wonder if all those years, when I thought I was really hungry and over ate, it was only too much acid! If only I had of known this years ago! Anyway Dr b's office called a Rx for texts to my pharmacy. It's not totally working and I may need something else? Right now I'm biding my time. My daughter moved yesterday and I helped in a none lifting way by washing dishes and sorting out her kitchen for four hours, in two two hour sessions. Lol. Sitting on a chair behaving, didn't hurt so I think it was ok.
But on to my next complaint. After noticing the white sweater on my tongue, I want to my family Dr. I have a bad case of thrush. Probably from the antibiotics after the surgery. So now I get to fit into my tight feeding and drinking schedule another one for an oral rinse four times a day for fourteen days. And no drinking for half an hour after! Aggghhh. So obsessed with getting everything in at the right time. It's a full time job. Lol
job interview tomorrow. I'm a government employee so it would just be switching units on the base. But after that I can focus on me. Ah can almost relax. And then it will be time to go back to work.
Just in case anyone is on remicade and has questions, I only have to be 4 weeks since my last remicade before I can have surgery. I go to meet Dr. Savoie on October 6th. I am full of emotions but I think excited is the top one...lol
Just got home from work and found a voice mail from Sandra at the BARIATRIC clinic. Does anybody know if she is from Dr.Beausoleil or Dr. Savoie's clinic?
i am full of such conflicting emotions right now! This is the call I have been waiting for for over 5 years. Not sure if I want to cry or vomit.
