So Im Home From The Hospital...without My Rny! :(



Recommended Posts

My day was yesterday...I was to go in at 6 am for a 8 am surgery...around 4:30 or so, i started feeling really dizzy, nauseous and extremely faint. I thought that it was just a mixture of my nerves, hunger and anemia (which I have had for a while and my current menstrual status wasn't helping.) So I just had my babe help me get ready and waited for my cab. By the time I got to the hospital I was so bad I needed to be taken up in a wheelchair! My surgeon requested some blood work and I was so anemic that I needed a blood transfusion!!! :unsure: I spent the night at the hospital getting blood and fluids. My surgery was postponed until next week!

The waiting never ends huh?

Wow that's terrible but, you know it's good that your bloodwork was checked. Best for you to be at the correct levels on all count so you can heal properly after the surgery.

I hope you recover fast and not have to wait long for surgery. I know its the waiting part that kills me. I prefer for medical events to be over and done with. Best of luck to you

No doubt about it, the waiting sucks. But I love stories about doctors that always take a conservative approach to medicine. That tells me that you have the right doctor and you can feel confident that your surgery will be done when your body is ready. Feel better and keep your spirits up!!

Thanks everyone for all your well wishes and prayers!

I am feeling a lot better and I am on top of my Iron pills...I had blood work done today and I hope things are going in the right direction! My surgery was rescheduled for Monday which is my son's 6th birthday so I am sad to miss it but if I don't accept that date I will have to wait until next month! :( I guess I can look at it as if the surgery works the way we all expect it to work and helps me change my life it would be like I was born again and I share a birthday with my baby! :rolleyes:

I will be baking him a cake and celebrating with him on Friday...one last slice of cake before my 2 day clear liquid diet! lol

      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.
