Surgery in the morning



Recommended Posts

Well I'm choking down the last of this stomach/intestine cleanse that the surgeon prescribed to me. Btw it's so gross! Surgery is at 9 am and I'm so nervous. I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight. Wish me well!

Thank you all. I'm a bit upset tho. For reasons that were not explained to me, my surgeon did the RNY open instead of laparoscopically and I was discharged after only one night. I'm in extreme pain, I can't drink fluids (it causes my stomach to cramp whether it be hot or cold liquids) I have not used the restroom and I keep vomiting (they say it's from the morphine) I'm very unhappy. I took a pic of one of my scars and sent it to my dad and he called my surgeon a butcher and wants to sue. Any thoughts?

Wow. I am so sorry for what you are going through. Did your dr. Visit you post surgery? We're you given the opportunity to ask why? You need to call ASAP and find out why but more importantly should you go back to the hospital.

I am a week post op and feel so bad for what you r dealing with.

sounds very strange that you had open RNY and were sent home after one day. I would definitely call the surgeon to tell him you're in extreme pain. make sure you keep a record of all phone calls you make so you can have documentation of what happened.

      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.
