Topic: RE: Are there no RN's here ???
Hi Dee! I'm an RN working in occupational health in a large factory. It's actually an industrial bakery...imagine that, a carb addict in a taco/tortilla plant...hehe. I guess that would be akin to being a mouse working in a cheese store. I worked in trauma on nights in order to get my surgery. had my RNY 8 weeks ago. Down 65 pounds but am having a plateau. I think my body is resting. Can't wait for it to get moving again. I'm so glad to see so many RN's are having WLS. OH has been my saving grace. That and support group. Hope all of you are doing well. Keep in touch

Hey Dee,
I'm an RN in Labor and Delivery here in Orlando, I just don't really check this board that often. I had Lap-band over 15 months ago and it has been great!!!

Hi Kat,I could have used a good RN when i had my surgery .The nurse I had was a new older grad that had no clue and was not good at getting some pain meds too 3 hours for breakthrough pain meds.They took her away from me the 2nd day because she was so bad....good luck in Sept .I just had my surgery 3 weeks ago on Tuesday.Doing better with the pain now.THe removed my adhesions and did alot of extra work inside me so I had pain issues.Take care Dee

I got my surgery date and its July 12th. I go on the 27th ( my birthday) for my all day nutrition classes and on the 28th for my pre op testing. My mom is going with me since my husband is taking off for my surgery. We are going to Indy and spend the night since the two are on back to back days.
My mom and my husband have been such great support. Im looking forward to this. I cant wait to be on the losing side. Well thats all the updates I have for now. I will keep u posted

Hi ladies. I'm an RN too. I work eves on a surgical floor. My poor surgeon! I saw him yesterday and started going over what I would like for pain meds, standing orders and that I would like to be discharged a day early if at all possible. I am the WORST patient. I'm nice and all but all I want to do is go home. I just got my date today...July 25th! It was less than 2 months from consult to surgery. Lucky me.
Wishing you the best!
Nicole

mariah,I worked nights for 20 yrs it is so hard on the body isn't it?I am happy about your surgery.Won't be long that you will be having it too.Its exciting and scary at the same time.It is a learning thing every day and you can't fool any one.If you eat something you can't then you just throw up.So it only hurts your self.I will be thinking of you.Dee
