January Dates



Recommended Posts

I had a really rough night last last night. They have mentioned discharging me today but I just don't feel ready. My insurance pre approved me for up to 5 days. I want to just stay one more night and leave tomorrow morning. That would only be 3 days.

Thoughts???

I went in on a Saturday surgery. Home Tuesday and I, even though I missed my daughter was happy for the extra time. I was able to rest, walk, sleep. So if you have it, want to then take the extra time.

Please take care of yourself physically and emotionally. That is #1 right now.

I should have read all post first. I'm so sorry. Call a patient advocate. Is the Dr your surgeon?

What is a patient advocate?

A person that advocates for patients. Such as allowing you to stay a other night since it was already approved by insurance and emotionally you can't do the drive right now.

Have you signed discharge papers? If not, request a patient advocate first.

Well I should have done that but I didn't know what to do. I just got discharged and left and the whole time with tears running down my face. I hope this day gets better.

I'm so sorry. Please be careful and drive safe. Take your time and file a complaint when you are ready too.

I am less than 24 hours away from my RNY and to be honest I don't know whether I'm scared or not. The biggest part of me is just ready to get the ball rolling and have that part over with. The other part of me is wondering what happens to my family if for some unknown reason that I don't make it out of surgery. Is anyone else or was anyone else worried about this as well? We all know that there is a risk, but I pray that the benefits far outweigh the risks for me. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am for my 7:30am surgery which means the hubby and I have to be on the road by 4:00am. Ugh! At least I will have more time to recover which means I will work my butt off to come home on Wednesday.

My prayers are with you all, as always, but especially my fellow surgery buddies that will be going in tomorrow. I will try to keep you guys updated the best I can. ????

      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.
