Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 Becky, That is so great to hear! We had the follow up appointment this morning and the doctor did say he looked a little better. They took more blood <<cringe>> and hopefully his bilirubin levels are down... we'll find out tomorrow! Thankfully today is a sunny day, so I think I will nurse him by the window. He's been incredibly sleepy lately, so much to the point I have to wake him up to feed him! na Becky wrote: > > > na, > I am also a first time mom and my ds had jaundice. > They admitted him to the NICU and told me that since > my milk hadn't come in I needed to supplement with > formula.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2001 Report Share Posted April 12, 2001 Welcome aboard Larry! I've heard variations about swimming...some say 4 weeks, other Dr's say about 8...I wouldn't suggest diving or anything for a bit, but the doggy paddle, backfloat, no biggy I'd imagine (although I think the doggy paddle thing is harder than most!) Good luck on your appt! Dawn Open RNY 8/9/99 Dr. Sheldon Randall Lawrence Memorial Hosp., Medford Original Message: ----------------- From: Chenkin Chenkin@... Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2001 15:55:02 -0400 To: OSSG-NewEngland Subject: New Member Hi. My name is Larry, I am new to this group. I've been a member of the main OSSG list for some time now. My surgery is going to be on May 31, at Newton Wellesley, by Dr. Reines. My question: In one of the posts someone mentioned swimming... does anyone know how long after an open RNY you can go into the water? I'll ask the Doc when I see him for my Pre OP visit but am curious if anyone addressed this yet.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Hi there! I'm a brand new member to your list and look forward to all the support. My name is . I'm 34 years young. I've felt overweight my entire life but truly only been heavy the last 10 years or so, after I began having kids. I started WWOnline back in January and to date have lost 35 pounds. Man. It's such a tough battle for me. Why does it seem others seem to "melt" the pounds away when I seem to work so hard at it? But I'm really refining my thought processes about food and exercise and know I'm doing this the RIGHT way. Look forward to meeting you all, M.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Hi ! Thought I would post and make you feel better. I started WW the end of Feb. and have only lost 8 lbs. ( I had lost 13 but gained back 5) See, did I make you feel better? It doesn't just melt off of me either. Hope to get to know you better. Sharon New member Hi there!
