Released from the hosp to hotel...

Dr. K let me out of the hospital in spite of not "passing" the last body functions test.   He needed to chase me out before I ran off all of his nursing staff!  ........Isn't it just Heavenly when they finally pull the I.V. out just before wheeling you out to your car?! 

Anyway...hubby is on nurse's duty every 4 hrs puting food through the feeding tube & emptying the drains.  I'm on the Bariatric 2 eating phase (clears plus a few regular liquids) and already realized that I am NOT going to dump like I did just last week with my ERny!!!! Wooooo Hooooo!!!

Healing with my new DS and testing my hubby's patience in CA,

Joyce

PS  Thanks to all for swinging critters, sending prayers, sending notes and calling! 
 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Joyce, I am so elated to read this, and have been thinking about you. Yay yay for no dumping, I can't wait to hear about your progress.

Joyce, CONGRATS!!!!!  All through with surgery & out of the hospital!!!!

You are one strong lady to have endured ALL that you have been through..... I know, I know, you still have to heal, but...... YAY Joyce!!!!!


Hoping to soon have my revision with DR. K as well

OMG, I am so excited for you.  I didn't know that we would have to have a feeding tube. Is this normal?  So when did you realize there would be no dumping, was there a particular experience?  Isn't it funny that we thought that the dumping with the RNY would help us stay away from bad foods.  Now it drives us crazy.  I did my consult and dietician consult with Dr. Keshishian and staff.  Then last week, I discovered a surgeon in San Francisco who takes my insurance.  I'm seeing him next Thursday at an office in Stockton.  Can't wait to hear more of your details.

Joyce,

I am so glad to hear your doing well and will continue to keep sending up prayers on a speedy recovery. Thanks again for all the support you give us here on the board and hope to be with you on the other side soon.
