I had a few questions maybe someone can help me out with?
1. Since Thursday (Aug. 27) I've lost 15 lbs, is that normal is that ok? I mean loosing weight that quick cant be right.
2. What do I do when I experience massive hunger? Last night I was going mentally crazy because my stomach was full but my intestines where empty and crying out for food and the broth was not subdoing the hunger pains it was giving me. What can I do?
3. Should I take my bandages off to make sure the scar tissue is healing correctly or wait til thursday doc visit?
Does anyone else have any advise?
Today is Saturday August 22, 2009, I am 6 days away from surgery and started my liquids today. I weigh myself this morning and I was at 286.7 lbs a year ago when I was on the Lindora diet I was about 20 lbs lighter but as you can see as soon as I get off it I gained all the weight. Anyways I hope all goes good on Thursday.
I see I'm not the only one with bad experience with the Staff. I am to get banded tomorrow (Aug 27) @ Tri City in Hawaiian Gardens and I did the blood work and xray @ Downey Community yesterday. After the Xray/Bloodwork I received a call from catherine saying that Dr Ollie Jackson who was to do my surgery refused to do it because I did not get approval from my primary physician so I would have to get his permission or meet Dr Salimitari Shahram to see if he Oks it. I called my Dr to get the stuff done, i am a day away from surgery and have no idea if I will be worked on tomorrow. I have no received a called from Tri City or from Top Surgeon. I have seen great compliments about dr. Salimitari here and its comforting but the staff need to be more professional, especially having a patient in limbo a day before surgery. I hope all goes good and I go to surgery tomorrow.
