Glad to hear you are doing so well overall. As for the diarrhea, day 4 post-op was a diarrhea day for me. The Citrucel really helped to bring it under control. Ever since, everything in that department has been fine. Although I have to contact the Leader of the Orange Team because I am an occasional member! Have a safe trip home. When do you leave Durham? Sincerely, Bernardine >> Hi, Bern: I did get your call - it was so good to hear your voice! Thank you. I'm supposed to leave Durham tomorrow, but I may stay a couple of extra days, see Dr. R., and head home mid-week. After yesterday, I'm a bit nervous about reentering my home life. I'm still kind of whipped today. I am looking forward to comparing notes with you. Question: did your energy level come and go in the first days after surgery? I'm definitely below my usual, while others remark at feeling very energetic. I attribute it to - well, duh - having had major surgery 3 days ago! That, and being on so few calories. I think my blood pressure is way, way down. But I'm walking around, and I don't have any major responsibilities for another few weeks, so I'm going to use that time well. I look forward to talking soon. Best wishes from Blair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2000 Report Share Posted August 12, 2000 Boy am I ticked. I have been a contact for pre ops since I had my surgery in Dec. of 99. I try to answer any and all contacts that I get during the course of the week. It is hard since I do work full time and have four children at home. I do the best that I can. I just got home from a much needed vacation and a couple of days ago and have started going through my mail but have not had a chance yet to respond to anyone. I received a certain e-mail from a lady named Wanda her e-mail address is Wthompson10@.... She wanted me to be one of her 10 contacts. I had not gotten back to her yet as I have been unpacking and catching up on paperwork at my job that is 3 weeks behind. I had planned on responding this weekend. Her first e-mail was dated a week or to ago. Well, I go to read my mail today and there is another letter from her saying that she had contacted me last week wanting me to be her contact but she had heard nothing back from me and then she goes on to say THANKS FOR NOTHING !!! Can you believe the gall of some people. I guess now I am not supposed to go on vacation because someone might need me to be a contact. Like I said what really pisses me off is I do my best to answer or help anyone who has questions regarding the MGB and insurance like post ops did when I was a preop but if this is the way some people are going to be forget it. To WANDA I will tell you one thing as far as being a contact for you Dr. Rutledge doesn't do surgery on people who are PSYCHO. Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
