I know exactly how you feel, I was so upset when the support group I go to was canceled because of the weather last month.  I go twice a month to the support group at HCH in Silver Spring.  We have a meeting this Wednesday that I was going to invite you to, however I see you obligation is on Wednesday.  You did come to right place to vent.  Despite our WLS we all still have obligations, struggles and even frustrations.  Hopefully you will be able to attend the next meeting.

 Vacations like the one you took always seem very attractive! I can't wait til I can afford to go on one and just relax! 

Btw, the top or bathing suit top in the first pic is very cute/flattering!

Hi Alice,

I am glad to hear you have been approved.  If I recall correctly you are a Kaiser patient.  I had my surgery the first case of the day (7:30am) and was discharged around 6pm the next day.  After the surgery you will have to go and have a leak test done and after that you after to drink and tolerate your liquid diet.  I know there is a 24 hour rule, but when admitted to the hospital it is by the day and not the actual 24 hours.  Good luck

wow wonderful pictures. it looks like you both had a wonderful time. very very cool. i have not been on a vacation like that in 5 years. maybe someday soon. you have inspired me can you send me info on that place? i'd love to check it out.

Very happy with my surgeon of choice and his care; however, the nursing staff at St. Agnes in the bariatric unit left much to be desired.  Obviously, they are understaffed and don't make much of an effort to do anything about it.  IV alarm would go off for long periods of time, no one ever came, even though they were called.  Many times I had to get my own self up and out of the bed to the bathroom because they would never come to your aid even though I rang for them.  Not a good experience for me but then again it depends on the day and who is on duty as to the care you will receive.
