    1st follow up after revision surgery to DS

    I went to see Dr. K today for my first follow up visit after revision surgery. Surgery was on 11/17/16. I have lost 4 pounds in five days. I know that's water weight coming off initially. I asked him about my common channel, he said its at 50. He made it short. He also tightened my sleeve...

    Today I register in the hospital

    It went excellent. Sorry I didn't get on here sooner. The pain meds are to blame. Full DS, and no feeding tube. Dr. K was done in 1.5 hours. Lots of adhesions he had to clean out, but it was a straight forward ds. Not much to reassemble. I have to get the operative report to find out the...

    Allison Mupas is there at the same hospital, Verdugo in Glendale, because her husband had his surgery today by Dr K. She will come by to see me, AND she was kind enough to offer to drive me back to the house I am staying at. I am staying at an AirBNB guest house in North Hollywood (about a 20...

    PCP looked at me like I had 2 heads when I said I was having a DS

    I did ask about the home health aide. They would not recommend anyone or any company. So I am researching that now. If anyone has any recommendations, I would appreciate it!

    PCP looked at me like I had 2 heads when I said I was having a DS

    When I had my son, I was living alone. Had a c-section awake, came home alone with a new born. It was me, and me alone. I also had a dog and a cat. My laundry was on the lower level. I did it all, alone. I had no one there to help me, and I wouldn't have had it any other way. With this...

    DS Scheduled - Dr. K - Huntington Hospital - Hotel Ideas

    I would love to stay at the hotel, but the prices for 10 to 12 days is just way over budget for me. I am looking for homes on the 1st floor, no far walks, an absolutely no steps and with off street parking. Wish Dr. K. was on the east coast. :)

    DS Scheduled - Dr. K - Huntington Hospital - Hotel Ideas

    I'm having mine on the 17th, and will be sent out (as long as there aren't any complications) on the 20th or 21st. That's a great idea about the recliner. I will ask them as I go through the air bnb's. If not, I will ask if I could have extra pillows.....this way I can prop myself up some...

    PCP looked at me like I had 2 heads when I said I was having a DS

    I had discussed wls with my PCP before. Explained to her that I was thinking of a revision to a DS. She asked me why not a gastric bypass? That was about 6 months ago. The past 2 months, I went back for a basic visit to get refills on my BP meds. Then last month, I decided to go full...
