Some More Madigan Questions

I have some general questions about Madigan;

1. What procedure did you have?
2. Who was your surgeon?
3. Would you recommend this person?
4. Do you get to choose your surgeon or is the person chosen for you?
5. What was your pre-op diet?
6. What was your post-op diet?
7. How long were you in the hospital?

I will probably think of more questions...Thanks!

I have, I've left 4 messages total - I probably should stop calling. LOL I left 2 messages and then she called once and I missed her and then I called back yesterday and then again today...

It's a frustrating thing that when you call you only get to leave a msg. I really hate that.

I'm not going to call tomorrow, promise. LOL

i really like dr martin too ....... i would pick him

1.  Revised from a VBG to RNY 
2.  Dr. Carter
3.  100% yes
4.  He was picked for me as he is familiar with revisions
5.  No diet was prescribed.  I stopped eating at midnight the day before the surgery
6.  3 days liquid; 7 days full liquid; couple weeks of soft foods and by week 6 I could have whatever except raw veggies.
7. 6 days (I had some unexpected complications - I am not the norm!!)  Lisa Ann had a complicated revision and she was gone in 2 days.  I'm a slow slow healer.  My body was lazy and didn't want to breathe or pee without the aid of devices.  Eventually everything woke up!
