2 night hospital stay



Recommended Posts

What about accommodations the 2-day hospital stay for family/friend member ? Do they provide a place where they can sleep? Any feed back would be helpful. Thanks - Karen

Hi Karen,

I believe it depends on the hospital. I had surgery at florence Hospital and there was a little built in daybed sort of thing that my travel companion slept on.

Hello fellow sleeve friends,

I have crossed over to the sleeve side and am feeling great. What a surprise, I am one of the lucky ones who is in little pain mainly from the gas of the surgery. Mi Doctor was a lovely experience and Dr. Valenzuela did my surgery. My incisions are very small and she fixed a hernia I did not know I had. She is very soft spoken and has an excellent group of doctors with her.

I am at the hotel in TJ just resting and getting ready to go home Sat. I only have good words for MBC and Cindy was our coordinator in the states and Daniel was our coordinator in TJ. Very pleased and relieved. Any questions I will try to help. Thanks to all those who sent good wishes and prayers.

God is good.

      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.
