Any news on Ethel?

It's been a while... Suzanne

Hey Suzanne!  I was just thinking the same thing.  I hope she's doing o.k.    Hopefully, we will hear something soon. Donna

Good evening Ladies, I'm back, hopefully for good this time.  I had an awful weekend back in the hospital due to some internal bleed that Dr. Farrell seems to think was an ulcer caused by a staple or stitch from surgery.  He stopped a scope that was scheduled for Monday morning because he said that it would be too dangerous so soon after my RNY.  So they opted to treat this like an ulcer and sent me home with some melt-in-your-mouth Nexium.  The idea is that the Nexium will heal the ulcer and all will be well without any nasty scope down my throat.  Dr. Farrell said that we still might have to scope me in the future but that the more time we can buy the more I'll be healed and the less dangerous that will be...that works for me...so he waved goodbye and sent me home with a prescription for Nexium and an appointment at his office on the 9th.   So, how was your weekend?  E

I'm so glad you're home Ethel!  Sounds like Dr. Farrell has things under control.  Please continue to let us know how it goes. Take care. Ellen

Thank goodness you are home!!!!   You sure had us worried there! Welcome home! Suzanne

Hi Ethel - So nice to see your lovely face again. Glad you're home and hope you continue to do well. We'll be watching for you! :O) Mary Ann

Glad to hear you are at home and comfy!  Welcome back, we missed you.

Hi Ethel, Glad to read you are doing better I was on pins and needles wanting to know how you were. Sounds like Dr. Farrel has things under control and that sound good to me because he is my surgeon too.                                       Annie

Hi Ethel! I am so very glad you are home and feeling better.  I know you are in Dr. Farrell's competent hands and that is comforting to me.  I pray for your healng and hopefully I will see you at the next support group meeting.  It won't be until August.  We will be so skinny we won't know each other! Blessings, Diane

Ethel- I was tickled to read your post! We have all been so worried about you! I am so glad that you are on the road to recovery and that you are now back home. You sure had us worried on Sat night when you posted your questions/concerns about a possible bleed. I'll continue to send up healing prayers for you and welcome home!!! Take care, Sheila
