That is correct. It is a HIPPA violation and none of your company's business you just need a note from your Dr or show tour prescription bottle You must be paid for the time they sent you home

Well, Hello everybody. It's been so long since I posted and since my surgery on the 14th. After surgery I didn't feel like doing anything and was regretting doing the surgery in the first place but I'm over that and ready to begin my journey. Let's just say my surgery didn't go so well. After the surgery I was having extreme pain so they took a ct scan and had to go back in and do the surgery over because I had a blockage. Definitely not something my surgeon did or anything. I love her to death, it's just something that happens. So my hospital stay went from 2 days to a week and then they found nodules on my lungs that have doubled in size in the last couple months. Not good at all, possible cancer but if it wasn't for the ct scan they would have never found it. But as for the weight loss journey, I'm ready!!! I'm on a full liquid diet now and so far so good. Good Luck everybody who has had and will have the surgery. :)

Did you write down all the meds you were taking before they tested you? Unfortunately, some companies have a policy to suspend you until it's sorted out. That said, I'm sure it will be fine once your doctor provides documentation, but what a total pain!

Mark, I'm so sorry to hear you've had a difficult time. Two surgeries in a week...I can't imagine. Glad you're doing better now! And as you said, thankfully you had that CT scan, but I'll also be praying the nodules are not cancerous. Please keep us posted!

That is crazy. Don't they know you had surgery. I would get documentation from your doctor. I hope everything works out for you.

Dang a lot has been going on with everyone. As I posted before my surgery went great, I got all my horrible complications pre op starting with MRSA scare, a fib episodes, injuring my SI joint during my IVC filter placement, and busting my toe with the scale in the br right before my surgery. Post op the worse pain has been my SI joint pain, I am able to walk very well, passed my leak test, tolerating clears, and been burping away from the start so no shoulder pain just occasional burning pain around my q pump. I am not hungry at all my taste buds are fine so far and I still love to chew ice and tolerate cold so I am happy about that. I love being able to drink sip sip sip no problems but I do take everything slow. I have used my incentive spirometer like a religion and am almost back to pre op levels. I talked my doc into keeping my pca through the night tonight cuz the SI joint was still hurting a lot but that got better today spontaneously and I am not using it much so I feel fine about switching to oral pain meds tmr. Hope to go home tmr not sure when I will know.

Oh my blood sugars have improved greatly and my Bp is normal so I have refused the Bp med they wanted to start cuz I Think it will bottom me out and my nurses agree. That's my story and I am sticking to it good luck to all in their recoveries!

      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.
