wow, Lenny! I didn't see Dr. G that much. I saw Dr. Quinn after the surgery,

then Dr. Gagner and Dr. Quinn the day after. I didn't see Dr. Gagner after

that.

I can't remember Saturday - I don't think I saw any surgeons that day -- No,

I

think it was Dr. Quinn stopping by to tell me that I could return home the

following day if I wanted or stay in until MOnday (my surgery was on a

Thursday evening).

Then, I saw Dr. Quinn/Dr. Pomp to be discharged on Sunday morning. I didn't

have any complications or problems and always got my pain meds delivered. I

didn't rely on the nurses for things such as bathing, new gowns, new bedding,

etc. since I had a private aide and they took care of those things (they also

helped me walk the first few times).

all the best,

Hi,

i am having my surgery on June fifth at Mt. Sinai and was wondering if anyone who had it there can give me the names of some of the nurses aides that they used and were happy with, thanks

Lenny! Sounds wonderful. I know when you say tiny what you mean. I

am still dealing with the " head " part of my surgery. My body can't

eat alot, but my old habits aren't completely gone. I am learning

when I am full I am full and I can't continue to pick at food like I

used to. I had a baked potato the other day and just wanted to eat

the whole thing up (my fav part is the skin drenched in butter and

sourcream) and I could barely eat the inside of it. My mind kept

wanting go devour the rest buy my body said there ain't no way!

Since I am less than 2 weeks out, I figure this is my learning period.

Congratualations on such a wonderful surgery and healing. On my

scale I am down 24lbs but that is without shoes and clothes so... add

a few for the Drs office

4/12/01 - BMI 42 - 296lbs

Lenny-

Wow! Sounds like it's been a good trip for you.

I know you said Flynn is a Nurse. I think I can only afford aides. For

first night of so, maybe I could swing a nurse. What's difference in care?

I'm relieved your care sounds good.

Hope mine goes as well! Any advice?
