    I have a question about my hospital stay. I am following Weight watchers and doing really well. I know I will be less active ( pretty much nil) so I want to make sure I make good food choices. Do most hospitals over healthy choices? I have done some research and most say its processed food...

    My dr was so impressed with my progress. He let me go back to work 2 1/2 weeks after surgery and when I went for my 2 months check up was when he said I could do the other one.
