I had a 2 1/2 window. I asked this morning and said some of that time is prep once you get back in the or .. Like putting you to sleep and waking you up.. 1/2 hours was used for cleaning up the room afterwards...

No' date=' have them sign a letter saying you stay with them and pay __ towards ur cost of living there. Do not list them as part of your household, since they aren't dependents. Make sure u apply for unemployment when eligible, but apply for health insurance first and list unemployed, no income due to layoff...

Ok, tomorrow morning at 10:00am, have to leave house at 5:00am because of rush hour traffic in Boston. Really nervous. All prayers excepted. Just hoping my bad trachea holds out long enough don't want to wake up on a vent.

Best wishes to both of you!!!

So my arrival time is for 11:30 A.M, I am so nervous.... I'm finishing up some laundry and cleaning, so when I come home my house is nice and clean. Today has been somewhat of a tough day, I am doing the liquid diet and I have been craving food. Lol. Like anything at all. I've been strong and had only my Clear liquids, chicken broth, Water, sugar free juices. But it has been tough, after I get everything ready, off to bed.I just want to say Good luck to everyone who is having your surgery tomorrow and everyone else who is having within the next week. Its been a long journey but we're almost there. :)

Is white wine a clear liquid? I wish I'd had one last glass of wine before surgery... :huh: Best of luck to you!!!

Surgery was today. All went well. I am now on the, loser bench. Yippy

Congratulations and welcome back!!!

I've had a few surgeries before, and there's loads of admission paperwork, changing into a gown, getting your IV started, and waiting for the OR to be available and cleaned from the previous patient. I was told I could go in even later if the surgery ahead of me ran long due to complications, or if an emergency came in and the OR was needed for them first. Does this help to reassure you? Chin up! All will be well!

If you mean after the surgery, I think most hospitals step you down. Right out of surgery you're in the PACU (post-anesthesia care unit) until you wake up and they determine you're stable. From there you go to a regular hospital floor. I shared a room with a lady that did nothing but sigh and complain and talk to people on the phone all day!

Private room baby!!!! And my surgeon requires a private room therefore it's no additional charge to the patient....I could kiss his feet.

      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.
