Gastric Bypass
My guess would be the dye used s/p gastrographin study (Radiology procedure) usually done within 24-48 hours post-op G-Bypass. Or days out to R/O any leaking or anastamosis.

Help ! Interview ???
Thanks for all the advice! My interview was @ 10:15 am on Fri.. I presented my self well answered all thier questiona dn even impressed them a bit I think. However my sister in law had called me after my interview and asked, How did it go? I said really well , but I really got the feeling they already had someone picked, they were just going throught the motions of doing interviews. She asked why I thought that, ( I am a pretty good judge of people and instincts-part of your 3rd sense of being a nurse I guess), anyway I said I just got that feeling. Well, I left my interview @ about 11am Saturday in the mail @ 11:00am THE VERY NEXT DAY!!!! :angryfire I got the letter the school board was very impressed with your interview and application, however you did not get the job Bla Bla Bla....we encourage you to apply in the future BS. I thought that was extremely tacky of the school board to send the letter the next day, Like they had to have already had it typed up or something as fast as I got it. Anyway, their loss! They probably hired some 50 year old within the system who doesnt relate to teenagers :chuckle or want to implenment wellness programs in the school like I wanted to do-dueto the severe obesity problem in our community! But like one of my friends said. It may not work out, and they could always call you back. But thank you for your concern--Onto tommorow. :)

There has been an opening for School nurse position at our high school about 10 minutes from my home. It is a 10 month postion. I have two children ages 8 and 4 who will be in 3rd grade and Kindergarten next year in same school district as the HS position.

Should I do this, and What type of questions do I need to be asking at my interview? any heads up questions? Questions you wish you would have asked?

Birth control opt. Nova ring?
I had to go off the pill in Aug. Have been on BC pills since age 18 with the exception of two pregnancies. my children are 7 and 4. And at this point I dont think I want anymore, however I cant bring myself to get my tubes tied yet. Anyways, I was having a lot of hormonal SE Dizziness, nausea, migranes hot flashes--almost like panic attacks, thought thats what they were a first. Dr's did several test. blood work MRI brain Neuro consult etc. Nothing. So went off the pill, and what do you know, but all the episodes went away. So I am looking for another option. I have been on different kinds of BC pill over the years none have ever done this. I was on this BC for over a 1 1/2 ( Ortho tricyclen) . Before that I did Lunelle inject. I had to stop taking that as well as it was causing simular type symptons. I have heard about the patch not sure that would work for me as I am pretty active, plus the fact I live in FLA. and it is very humid so you get hot and sticky, and are in the H20 alot in summer months. Want to know if anyone has had any luck with the nova ring? For now its abstinence, spermicide, and occas. Condoms, but I have to be very careful as usually one use get me irritated, as I have developed a latex sensativity since working in health care field so long. Thanks for any input.
