hellonurse 76 Posted April 26, 2012 Hi there!! I was sleeved on Tuesday the 24th, I just got home from the hospital this morning! How are you feeling? I'm just glad to be home! I received excellent care, but I would rather be home resting! I also wanted to have my broth and Jello, LOL. I had only ice chips Tuesday and then ice chips and lemon propel all day yesterday, yuck. My pain is not bad, but the gas is not so fun. I'd also like a sleeve buddy, so if you would like, add me as a friend!!

claudia hayden 1 Posted April 28, 2012 I havent went threw it but lookin for a dr. I live in oklahoma dont want to go to Mexico but I have to pay outta my pocket so hows ur dr and his prices? Soozmc, I was a self pay as well and wanted to stay local so I could have my family and friends around. I had a hernia that needed repair so my insurance had to pay for that. My total out of pocket was $7,200 with Dr. Stowers & Dr. Wright. Had I not had the hernia, my out of pocket would have been $10,950. I can not say enough positive things about the doctors, the staff and the hospital at Wise Regional (Decatur, Texas). Plenty of hotels arounds the hospital that work close in giving you discounted rates if you are using the hospital. Good luck on your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enid 8 Posted April 28, 2012 I havent went threw it but lookin for a dr. I live in oklahoma dont want to go to Mexico but I have to pay outta my pocket so hows ur dr and his prices? I was sleeved with dr stowers also but i had to pay 10,950.00 since i dont have insurance but like claudia said if you have insurance even for your endoscopy they can file it medical and the price goes down. They are a great team of doctors and the hospital staff is great. The hotel they recommend you is very nice, clean and cheap. I flew in on monday 4/16 for my pre op and on 4/17 i was having my surgery, I flew in from nc. They did all paper work by mail and fax and the docs consult was by phone and the psych eval also. Very convinient and the good thing about it is that if you have problems you can always go back and see him. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kellyring 1 Posted April 28, 2012 Hey there - I'm 3 days out myself! I spent only a day in the hospital & came home a day too soon I'm thinking. Dilaudid was so nice for the pain - lol. Not having too much trouble only having to re-train myself to learn how to drink more slowly. I have a J-P drain intact & it's draining well. Not sure if everyone get's one or not. Thank goodness for Turkey Hill ice tea & popsicles - they have been my saving grace. I am able to get my 64 oz. of Fluid thanks to the tea. Other than that - I am doing well & down 10.4 lbs. so far! Hope all is well with you and everyone else replying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
