Topic: RE: ugh got a hemotoma from the blood work yesterday
Thank  you for the support and understanding. I am not getting that on the main forum. OMG its a nightmare there. I feel like I did something wrong and getting stressed out because I have to keep defending myself. And I get called a baby and that I have attitude.

Do I have attitude??

I don't need this before I am having my surgery which is in 3 days.

Oh that is horrible. 

I have rolling veins and I have had my blood drawn from my hand with the smaller needles.  If it looked like it couldn't be found, the hand it is.

I think it resulted from a dr.'s nurse (a long time ago) who hit both my arms much like yours.  I had to go back to work that way--I looked like I was in a prize fight and didn't win the prize.

Things from here will get better.

Daisy,
Thank you for the advise. I went to the informational seminar yesterday and St Joseph's Hospital in  Marshfield had finished the process of being named a center of Excellence. They are just waiting for the certification and label of such. They have two surgeons who do the surgeries. Lap Band and RNY. they also have been doing WLS for over 30 years. This is going to be a long process but in the end it will be very worth it. After going to the information seminar and meeting the surgeon I do feel that I have made a good choice in going there.

I show it to the surgeon assistant and called the hospital and talk to the nurse and made a complaint. She said had got written up yesterday and now has to be supervised. Wonder who else she messed up on. I told her don't want her on the day of my surgery I will run away. Told her i want someone experience and isn't going to give me hemotomas from blood work or Iv's.

I'm in Kenosha.  I do Jazzercise - its so much fun.  I don't get bored because the routines change up.  We are a little spoiled here in Keno as far as Jazzercise is concerned - our classes are held at a place bought by the owners with lockers, a changing room and shock resistent flooring.  Most classes are held in school gyms and church auditoriums.  I love our space.

I think nNext week I'm trying a Zumba class - I've never been, so I'm really excited about trying it.  It's held at a different place and they charge $3.75 a class - pretty cheap!  

I also walk for 45 minutes a day around my neighborhood - sometimes longer.  

 Have you gone to any support group meetings?  I haven't, but I really want to.  I think it would be a great place to get meet others to help you get back on track.  I just keep telling myself... just do it!
