    Everybody keeps talking about having staples removed. How come I didn’t have
    staples? Did anyone else not have staples? Let me know.

    Hi everyone! I made it!!!!! went in friday we showed up an hour
    early as there was no traffic and a good thing as they ended up
    wanting to take me in early I was in the OR bfore 11:15 an hour
    early. Surgery had no complications and then by 5 I was in my own
    room, Unfortunately that is when my horror story begins!!!! I had
    teh WORST care ever at Portland Adventist! The nurses were rude
    wouldn’t get me any water, yelled at me and said I was moving too
    slowly ( Oh sorry I have a catheder hanging out of me, I am doped on
    morphine and I just had my guts rearranged )They would put my "clean
    beedding and my robe on the floor walk over them then put them on
    me! Left me alone for LOOOOONG periods of time 4-6 hours where no
    one would check in on me. Unfortunatly my family were mostly up in
    washington with my mom who also just had a different surgery so I
    really didn’t have anyone there to stick up for me. I came home
    early so I could get out of there!

    I am feeling much better today after finally getting some sleep last
    night,

    I DO WANT TO THANK SANDRA Turchan ANd LINDA for coming in saturday
    and seeing me that was very speicial and ment ALOT TO ME!!!!!!!

    So far no problems am eating between 1 - 1.5 oz a meal, carnation
    instant breakfast, cottage cheese, refried beans mixed in tonight
    (hopfully that will settle!)
    Good luck to everyone still waiting for this I still have no regrets-
    the rewards are soooo much bigger than these little problems right
    now. Keep in touch

    Hello, my name is Betty, I had my surgery this past
    nov the 17th, I have lost 70 pounds in a little over 4
    mos. I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am that the
    hospital you were in treated you so badly!!! that is
    so awful!!! This is a very serious operation, and you
    go through alot! I am so sorry you had to go through
    it alone, I just hope all is better now, it will take
    about a month before you really start feeling pretty
    good. I hope you will write a letter to the head
    hospital person and let them know how you were
    treated.There are alot of people out there without
    jobs that could use one, and do a better job than
    that! sounds like they are only in it for the money.
    That really made me sad to hear that, you take
    care,wishing you a speedy recovery, and much happiness Betty
