Stitches Infected (Caution: Long)



Recommended Posts

Sorry you had to endure that. You should not have deal with their ignorance along with feeling like crap. Do they not think anyone that has surgery in the US ever gets infections? It happens daily. Oh well, some people are too closed-minded to be breathing the same air as us. I hope your husband changed their attitudes real quick and if not, you should report them. They don't deserve the licenses they are "working" under.

Hope you feel better soon.smile.gif

Thanks so much everyone for your support and yes hubby really was my knight in shining armour again! I am feeling better after being ordered by hubby to bedrest and the antibiotics seem to be working against the infection. He will be taking the advice of Beadingnurse and others and filing several formal complaints against both the hospital and surgery center. We shall see what becomes of it. Yes it pisses me eoff as well and now that I am feeling better, I would love a face to face meeting with all parties involved to give them a few choice words. But I am just thankful I did get treated and will do as advised and let the correct authorities handle them.

I just wanted to say thank you. While you can't change what happened to you, you can force the offending parties to be accountable. Your actions will probably save others from the same type of mis-treatment.

Agreed! Thanks for not letting such inappropriate behavior slide. It should not be tolerated anywhere.

      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.
