Hi Dee...I almost called you the other day. How are you doing? I'm much better. I still have a big hole from my drain tube infection but my skin is growing back. I'm trying not to get too OCD and weigh myself 10 times a day...lol. I'm really happy about how much I'm not eating!

Dee, how are you doing??I hope you are feeling better. I hate you had a UTI on top of the surgery.

no, no.... my beginning weight of 213 was before i had the lapband surgery in 2008. i had to revise to the sleeve in october!

How are you feeling Dee? Did I read somewhere that you have a UTI too? I can't navigate this site...I feel like my 72 year old mom...lol. It's difficult to drink enough fluids.

I have had diarrhea but only when I drink enough fluids which I havent been. I just got out of the county hospital. I have tissue necrosis around my drain hole and I had 103 degree temp. Turns out that everything looks okay inside and the high temp was just from a UTI or virus. They still have to figure out what to do with the wound...but everthing's good inside. I still would do it again.

I know some people on here had diarrhea but it was nothing to be alarmed about. Some have it others don't, you know your body, so you know what is normal for you and what is cause for concern. All else, you can check with your PCP, if it does not get better. It is normal for some not to be able to keep much down. THAT IS REALLY NORMAL some people can get away with a bite or two but that is very normal. Just take is slowly, if you over do it you will through it right back up. Well I am still losing, I am a LITTLE bit over half way there now. I will for sure keep you posted for sure. So don't go no where anytime soon. okay TAKE CARE TTYL

Haven't heard from you in a while, how did it all go?

How are you feeling?

Goodness...I was going to call your room..everytime I pick up the phone it's busy. I'm going to have to venture out before I leave and try to find t-shirts for my kids. If I don't, I'll be ordering Tijuana t-shirts on line :-)

I'm in room 506...great. I don't want to miss the Dr. If he doesn't take the drain out, I'm going to accidently pull the darn thing out.

What room...I'm coming up

Hey Nursedee-I'm still here at the Marriott...5th floor. I don't leave until Tuesday morning. Dr. Ortiz said he will be by here before 10:00 PM tonight. Hope you're feeling well!!

Checking in to see how you and hubby are doing. I've been thinking of you and keeping you in my prayers!

I hope you are having a quick recovery! I think you were on my floor at Hospital Mi Doctor but I'm not sure . The Marriott is so much more comfortable...Take Care!
