Hey Y'all, so my Surgery is this coming Tuesday! Im having the RNY, and I was just on the hospitals page, because im an obsessive planner, and saw a part where it said to bring an adult who can sign consent papers to be with you. Now, my Husbands in the military and we dont live super close to family, on top of that we JUST moved here, so I lined up a babysitter to watch them when my Husband comes to pick me up from the Hospital for Discharge, get the instructions and sign paperwork. But, the clinic didnt mention anything about needing a support person there the day of, so im wondering, how many of you guys went by yourself and didnt have someone in the waiting area for you? I kind of figured with Covid, that wouldnt be a thing anyways? I planned on having his number down and him for my emergency person, and I do have someone who can watch them IF theres an emergency, but its pretty late to get a Baby Sitter the day of surgery at this point. Im hoping im freaking out over nothing, and not having someone in the waiting area isnt a big deal? I figured I cant be the first person this has happened too. Thanks in advance!

Good Luck to you as well! Ill be glad once the Magnesium has worn off, thats for sure.

They're young, but I have help for after, hes actually managed to take Leave, which is like magic, they only willingly give leave when Kids are born, I swear. So everything was working beautifully and oh so smoothly and then that jumped out at me on the hospitals web page and I started worrying, because that threw a wrench in how well everything had been planned out! Thanks for commenting, im way calmer today than I was last night, im actually excited, im down to 4 day!

@BigSueThank you! Im an obsessive planner and everything was running so smoothly, that my brain snagged on that and I started to Panic some, thinking I wouldnt be able to get this surgery that ive worked so hard for. So thank you! That really helps.

Hi! Ive searched the boards and only found a couple answers that sort of answer what im looking for. Does anyone here have Tricare - in Watertown NY, and if so what surgeon they sent you too? I cant seem to find many answers. I did find a couple of clinics in the area but im unsure if they accept tricare and work with the Base. If anyone has any answers, please let me know. Thanks!
