Both my tubal ligation and my gastric bypass?was done via laparoscopy ....just a couple bandaids

I had more sutures when I had my teeth removed

I didn't work at a hospital.? I worked at an extended care facility on a locked Alzheimers/dementia unit.

I helped developed the unit.

It was a 40 bed?unit that I ran

I took extra courses after college to become a certified geriatric nurse specializing in Alzheimers and dementia.

I did not have the weight loss surgery at our local hospital.....

They didn't do them there then.

Had it done at a bigger hospital about 30 min from here.

Same main medical facility (Lahey)......just a different hospital.

Had my knee done here locally.? I live 2 minutes from our local hospital....literally right down the bottom of the hill and around the corner

Robotic surgery is gaining popularity, and it seems like a great option for surgery. Surgeons are still there, but I think robots are better because they’re super steady and precise. The surgeon just guides them.

By the way, did they use robotic surgery at the hospital you worked at, Donna? Was that where you had your bypass?

I had my gallbladder and hiatal surgery done through laparoscopic?surgery. I have a bunch of small cuts all over my tummy now, including one in my belly button.

Surgery was around noon and he was in recovery till 5 ish and when I called they were just settling him in his room. I am going there for 9 ish and expect he will be send home unless something came up over night.

This is his 2nd time and the doctor said at his age they may as well do it again so he can enjoy the results from it for his last few years.....lol?
