I have lost 40 lbs in 4 weeks and now I am at a stand still "at the same weight for 2 weeks.  Hopefully my body will bounce back after having a "lung tap" as I had fluid between the lining of the lung and the outside covering that protects the lung and I could not breathe.  I guess I am going to be the one with complications?  My husband has had his surgery with no problem, he also has  lost 40 lbs in a week in a half.  I only wish I was so lucky!

Well I finally had my Surgery and other than a little Nausea and pain I am doing fine.  I had a few complications, needed blood transfusions and I had Yellow Jaundice in which I had to be rehospitalized for observation, other than feeling a little week I feel okay.  Dr. Suh really took care of me, the nurses were great and the hospital was not bad either.  I am two weeks post-op and I have lost 20 lbs. 

Can anyone who has had bariatric surgery at Rancho Springs Medical Center in Murretta share their experience with me about the hospital stay.  I recently read an article about them being fined for non-compliance and having to pay some pretty hefty fines (more than any other hospital in the state).  I recently took a tour and did  not notice anything out of the ordinary  that popped out at me leading me to believe that this was not a good hospital for me to have my surgery at, but now I feel a little apprehensive, as one of the fines were for sterlization procedures that were  not being followed and medications not being dispensed correctly.  AHHGGG
