So, I had my surgeries on the 10th and I flew through everything.
No pain, no vomiting. A breeze. I was up and walking almost immediately. I took a shower the next day. NO PAIN meds, not hungry. Dr. Pohl, did you really do anything??? My lungs wouldn't completely inflate and I didn't have bowel sounds until Sunday but other than that (and one *****y nurse) everything went so good. Got home and I HAVE GAINED 15 LBS IN 5 DAYS!!! WTF!!! I was 269 the day of surgery and now am 285. Now I realize some of it must be water weight in my tissues from the IV but 15 freakin' pounds??? This is disheartening.

I was wondering if anyone has United Health Care (State of RI).  If so, can you tell me how long it took you to get insurance approval and if there were any other requirements to do.  I have my first appointment with Dr. Sax next week. 

Oh Honey,

I'm so glad you're feeling better! Now you just have to follow through with your doctor visits and not worry about missing work to do it!

I'm gonna keep on your butt!

Love ya like a sister!

Hey Susan!

Thanks for all the updates! I've been thinking of Marcia a lot but can't get up there to see her right now.

Please give her my love and support!

Hi everyone! Just saw Marcia and she looks great and is getting around really well - doing lots of laps up that hall way. Got to meet her husband and 3 of her children too :) Unfortunately she didn't get much sleep last night but the meds were kicking in and she was gonna try and get a little rest in now. Tomorrow she starts the shakes and should come home on Monday. Might try to get back there tomorrow.
