Anyone at the Mi Hospital today or the Marriot?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I was just wondering if anyone happen to be at the Mi hospital or Marriot today. My mom and her best friend flew down yesterday and are scheduled to have surgery on Thursday with Drs. Valenzuela and Cabrera-Garcia. I got an email last night saying there was a change of plans and that my mom was now having surgery today. I haven't heard from either of them yet today. And wanted to find out if anyone had run into them. Rosanne and Joan are their names. Or if maybe you had any contact info for the doctors. Thanks for the help.

Amie

That's a good idea. I think she is at the hospital though, guess I should try and find that number. Thanks for thinking of that. :)

Tried to call both the hospital and hotel. No one answered at either. Maybe it's to late tonight. We are going to try in the morning. Wish me luck.

I know, I'm just up in Washington. But we tried to call multiple times with no success. So I figured maybe they don't have a full staff in the evenings.

I'm sure they are all drugged up sleeping it off. I'll try and track down the docs coordinator in the morning. :)

Finally got an email last night. Sounds like things went well for my mom and we got the number for the hospital so I'll give her a call today to see how she is feeling. :)

      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.
