    I got my tentative date!

    Yay Donna! You know I have ur back! U are going to do great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  2. I would ask ur surgeon if ur allowed to have them, most hospitals don't allow outside medications. Walking is a huge help when relieving built up pressure... I burped all the way around the hallways... Was kind of funny lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    I like the way you think! I work for my insurance so I could absolutely see that as a viable option. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

    Freaking out

    The PA can't give the clearance they have to be over signed by a physician and there's no one on call for her,she doesn't do rounds and she doesn't take call... So no luck there. I've Ben talking with the office since Thursday of last week when I had to hurry and get a chest X-ray, Cbc, bmp, and a protime INR. I had an appt with the PA Friday morning.. It's pretty much hopeless if she doesn't come to work like she is supposed to tomorrow. I did however fax my surgeon the X-ray and lab results in hopes it will suffice if they don't get the letter in. Unfortunately my surgeon is an hour and a half away with no time to go in... It's all in at this point... Just need lots of prayers or positive thoughts... Lots of fingers crossed Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  6. So my surgery date is 6/29.. My surgeons office calls me last Thursday and informs me they need a letter from my PCP stating I'm healthy enough for surgery, kind of last minute but ok I call my PCP. Then she doesn't want to write it because I need new labs and a chest X-ray... Fine, I get them same day and have an apt with her PA the next morning at 9am.. My PCP I was told would be out of office till today..6/26. I call today to check up on them and she is not in office again.. If they don't get that letter there tomorrow, signed by the doctor, I will have to reschedule and I've already done all but one day of my liquid diet... I don't like when things are out of my control, when I've done all I can to make sure everyone has everything. I'm sorry, I'm just so frustrated. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  8. No I do chewable my surgeon. Actually doesn't want me to do anything but a chewable, he stated gummies don't absorb as well after surgery, but every surgeon is different. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
