GROUP POLE............................

arkman54 Has just been NUCED and is doing well.. What is the CRAZIEST thing your doctor has ever asked you to do for surgery or at any other time. I know others are out there.

He asked me to lay down on a table while he cut my stomach in half and removed a length of my intestine

He put his finger where a finger ain't supposed to go also where the sun don't shine!  

You can pick your friends, you can pick your nose; but you can't pick your friend's bung hole.

Oh that was my last PHYSICAL. I NEVER had one of those.. I felt cheeted,, I mean   isnt someone supposed to pay for dinner first??

What I thought was the craziest thing was that he asked me to lose 50 pounds BEFORE WLS. I thought, hmmmm.....isn't this what the surgery is for? Turned out to be quite a struggle but well worth it since it prepared me for life after WLS.

Boner,

I am in the same boat brother!!  When I went to the first surgeon and she said I had to lose 70lbs prior to Lap Band surgery. I did more research and realized RNY was better for me and my now surgeon said I have to lose 50 lbs.

At first before I couldnt understand why I had to lose prior to surgery...well now I know why. I wanted to give it the South Park...Wha..Wha..What? Luckily for me my surgeon's protocol is to eat pureed food as soon as I get home...irony isn't is  I cant eat again till after I surgery .  ha  I so cant wait till 8-15 to get my date!

Kind of ironic though, isn't it?  Keep battling to take off the 50 cause it'll help you in the long run.

Your day is comin', Rob!!

Hmmm.... 2 things come to mind, how about when I broke my foot and the doc asked me to walk across the room
And when after my WLS surgery when I was nauseous and could'nt hold down even water, the anti-nausea medicine perscribed was a liquid

Thats really funny.. The same thing happened to me about 10 years ago when I broke my foot. Never did understand the reasoning behind that..
