I Definitely Regret Surgery.... So Far!



Recommended Posts

I am so glad today seems to be going a little better. Sounds like still a little rough but any little bit better is good!

And that, folks, is one part of why health care in the US is so expensive and so many of you had to leave the country to get surgery.

Malpractice- being put to sleep expecting a VSG and waking up with a full hysterectomy when you're only 24.

No malpractice- having a frustrating but fully disclosed complication from an elective surgery after which various doctors and other medical professionals attempt to work together to solve and make right.

Only in America.

if her medical team is not working with her, malpractice

you mean in the US you can tell them what to do, even though you have no medical experience and are going off something someone said off a message board, sue them if they think it's not a good idea, calling it " not working with you"? and call it malpractice?

i mean, seriously lol. if hes not gonna put gloves on & remove this ****.. i dont wannatalk or see one. lol. my drs refuse to remove thestent because ill get really sick with a leak. they wanted me to stay with it for another week to 10days. they went in to make sure things were ok & fix what they could to give mesome relief. thats not malpractice. as bedhead said, had i woke up with a different surgery than thatsa different story. i knew the complications involved with the VSG and i knew a stent would be the route they would go. GRANTED, they never described noneoftheabove as far as constant nausea & vomitting but from what the drs say, thats not normal & everyone isdifferent.

      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.
