Topic: RE: Hot Anestheologist.
Must be a trend!
I had RNY surgery July 18th at Silver Cross Hospital in Joliet, IL and the anestheologist was nice, and kinda funny...but the last thing I remember before "going out" was his cologne. He smelled wonnnnnnnnnnderful!!! I remember he leaned over me to adjust something and I took a huge deep breathe because i caught a whiff of cologne, and i am sure that it helped put me out faster. I'd like to go back and ask what he was wearing...(other than a wedding band).

Topic: Kids say the darndest things...!
My sister was tryin to explain to my 2 1/2 yr old niece why Auntie Mell was in the hospital. How do you explain WLS to a toddler???!! Well she thought she had it figured out, but when I spoke to them on the phone after surgery, my niece came on and immediately said, "Auntie Mell, are you small now??" LOL!! Then when I saw her, I could tell she couldn't SEE a difference.... She musta been too polite to mention it.



Topic: Changed my name when the sedated me!!!
I had my surgery 10/11 and when the anesthesiologist came in he told me he was going to give me something to relax me....
A few minutes later he came back and said, "Mrs. L I need you to wake up and tell me your name." My mom said I said "Sally Jane Spudsucker," and went right back to sleep. She said she told me "Trisha, don't say that she is here for a sex change operation." to which I responded by waving my hand in the air and saying "whatever," and snoring at them.
She said it was hilarious because my husband looked like some alien had just popped out of my ear and waved at him.
Needless to say they decided to tell me all about it when I could appreciate it but it hurt to bad to laugh about it.

Topic: Tong not Thongs
Two days before surgery I get a call from the nurse verifying the time I should be at the hospital and she's giving me a list of things to bring like chap stick feminine towels because some women come out of surgery with there monthly friend, sock slippers to walk in the hallway, baby wipes and a pair of tongs, Me like and idiot I say am sorry mame but I don't ware thongs and she said what and I repeated it again and she started to laugh she could barely talk to me she said can I call you right back and I said yes. A few minutes later she called and apologize to me for her incontrollable laugh she said I need a pair of tongs because I was going to be wearing a binder and I might not be able to bend to clean myself good and I would use this as an extension. I felt so embarrassed, but in realty I did not use thongs at 265 pounds I don't think they would be able to find them in my big butt.

OMG that was so funny! I have a problem w/gas as well. One day I was in the supermarket and I past some gas. It kind of just fell out but it was one of those really smelly ones. This guy who was near me made it horrible face and said to me, "man that smells like you got something wrong with you" I told him "Exactly I do its called gastric bypass" so embarrasing.
