Topic: Stairs?
Was wondering that if after surgery anyone had troubles with stairs? The reason i ask is cause after surgery  i will be sleeping in the lazy boy which is on the main floor and our bathroom is on the second? I wont have anyone to look after me after surgery cause i live at home with the parents. Mom has back problems and my dads job takes him away a month at a time. Also my boyfriend lives 2hrs away and doesnt drive. So was wondering how much stairs are gonna be a problem to me?

what do you wanna be when you grow up little girl? i wanna be a loser and sit on the bench sir! (45 lbs lost pre op) 300lbs starting weight, currently 141lbs! Lowest has been 135lbs and hoping to get back to that.

I did not see Dianne when I was there for pre-op. But you could ask the lady that takes you into the little room that you give all your info to. Just make sure that it is stamped with Dr. Elsmeres name. His secretary does that right there. You could go to that floor to find her.

Hi - noticed your post here and thought I could help - I copied and pasted a reply I had given to someone who posted a simimar question. Hope it helps.
PS I'm over here in NL - post on the main board and NB boards as I had my surgery in Moncton - but do lurk over on the NS and PEI board at times too - hope you guys don't mind!





The loss of thoughts mid sentence, messing things up, lack of energy etc etc is something I can identify with. I was feeling exactly like this in late July. I was just feeling so stupid and dumb at work and at home. Things came out of my mouth wrong, it was terrible. I work in ER - so sent off some blood work one night. My Hgb was 104. The rest of it was OK. Anyway - to make a long story short - with some consultation with my dietician and increasing my iron and paying more attention to what I eat - I'm happy to say it is now 126 - the best it's been in a while. And the "stupid syndrome" and fatigue that I had is now gone.

So, it's somewhere to look for a possible cause. I suspect your vitamins/supplements and dietary intake need some tweaking. Good luck!

I hauled my binder with me but I didn't see anyone from the wls clinic so I could have left it home - I think you will have to call Dr. Ellsmere's secretary for a note  :))
