Recommended Posts

Phew, so glad you survived the surgery....We knew that you would, your a tough cookie. As far as the anestesiologist...I would have been screaming about her the second she came at me with her crap!! You have enough to deal with as a patient she doesn't have any right to treat you like anything less than GOLD! Dont deal with that attitude, and absolutely talk to Dr Kwon or who ever you see. They may not want to do surgery with this anestesiologst any more. I do believe they have a choice when a choice is given...I may be wrong on that.......but what ever DONT PUT UP WITH IT...BIOTCH who does she think she is??? I have a hard time with anestesia as it is, headache, throwing up....soo your symptoms sound like a "normal" reaction to me....but discuss it with the dr.

IM SO HAPPY YOUR BACK AND GETTING BETTER~~~~

Talk to you soon

when I had my last "girl" surgery I had the terrible headache and dry heaves, even with the nausia patch.

I think the gall baller remoal was worse than getting banded.

Just take it easy and take the time you need. I had my gall bladder out back in 97 and then a week after my surgery ended up back in the hospital with a staff infection...not fun.

That nurse had unforgiveable behavior. I hope you reported her. I went in the morning of my gall bladder surgery, got prepped by a really nice team of nurses (warm blankets and all), off to the OR and 2 hours later I was home and feeling good. No vomiting whatsoever and up and about the next day. Didn't they keep you for awhile? Maybe they gave you something that made you sick. I didn't get anything till I was in the OR with the exception of a little sedative. Never knew what hit me till I woke up. You certainly didn't get the expected treatment. Of course they should assure you you aren't going to wake up...that is unforgiveable. Take care of yourself, because you've had 2 surgeries real close together, and just concentrate on getting well. Good Luck.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
