I was on the third floor Dawn. Not the usual DS floor. I am going

to write a letter, I think that's a very good idea. Even if the

nurses dont endorse the DS, they should be professional and

supportive. I was very surprised. Meli >>

I have also heard that when people are readmitted for problems (dehydration,

infections, etc.) that they are usually put on another floor rather than the

bariatric floor. I think this messes up the psychology of things because

some of the staff on the other floors only see the " problems " . Now most of

these problems are resolved quite quickly and the person gets on with their

recovery, but I think it skews their take on things. I was on the 2nd floor

but on 2 west not the one that most bariatric patients are on. But they do

get more new post ops it sounds like than the floor you were on.
