Guest guest Posted May 20, 2000 Report Share Posted May 20, 2000 Tonni, Thanks for the words of encouragement. How did you get away from Durham so quickly? I thought you had to stay for a week before you could go home? I think I am getting some things confused. I have heard about having staples removed. Where are the staples? I had a laparascopic gallbladder surgery several years ago but I didn't have staples. Thanks for your help. Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2000 Report Share Posted May 21, 2000 Hi Darlene, They like you to stay the week so you can have your staples removed, but I had talked to my family doctor, and since he is following up on me, he removed my staples. I'm not sure if any of my litter stayed the whole week. We had our doctors take the staples out, and Claire took her own out!!! What a girl. It doesn't hurt at all. So, that is the story of the 4/10/00 litter. Good Luck. Hope this helps, dont mean to confuse you. Good Luck, Tonni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 21, 2000 Report Share Posted May 21, 2000 Dear Tonni, Thx for the post////I live on the beach to walk my little heart out when it is cool (live in Florida) and my husband got me a treadmill for the summer when it is too hot to walk outside----until I get my weight off. It's not like I dont want to be active.....thats part of the reason I'm having this operation.(health & activity). I want to waterski again. I used to do it professionally .......now I could be the base of the pyramid. Sooooonnnnnnn it will be my turn and I will be on the other side. The other question I have is what if you need a medicatin that does not come in liquid form and can't be crushed??????/ Can you take enough h2o to get the pill down??? Lv Judi in Fla.........thx again Tonni oQuoting BigTBull@...: > Judi, > I didn't have any kind of program. In my packet, I just told Dr. R what I > had.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2000 Report Share Posted May 22, 2000 Judi, Yes, how soon you'll be on the other side. As far as the medicine and water, you will take pills starting after week 2. Yes, you will be able to get them down with the water. I am a water drinker!! I do drink Gatorade and water, that is it. I have always been a water drinker. Hope this helps. Good Luck.
