Thanks.....I had RNY and yes, I called Dr Dort during the day and they suggested a suppository. It didn't help with the pain. So about 10pm I called back and the Dr on call said I should go to the ER. They were very good there. Started an IV right away and gave me some WONDERFUL pain meds. It really helped. The Loritab I have at home just doesn’t cut it. I guess this too shall pass!!!

We all know how the insurance companies are pushing us out the door faster and faster these days, regardless how patients and doctors feel about it!  Here is one more example, and an opportunity to do something about it!  Please visit the link and sign the petition!  Thanks! http://www.lifetimetv.com/breastcancer/petition/signpetition.php

I did well in the hospital and was fine the first day home. (Wednesday) Thurs night I woke up with horrible pain in my lower right abdomen. Last night my husband took me to the ER where I was given a Cat Scan. They thought it might be my appendix. After all the tests were done they decided it was fluid build up from the massive bruising from the shots I was given. Did anyone else have any similar problems?

Jeanne, I am actually going to have RNY done, but I can tell you that my insurance approval came at the very end of May and I have completed a good number of my pre-op appointments and will have my first appointment with Dr. Hoehn on Monday.

Has anyone here been looking at having Lap Band through LivLite in Junction City???
