Reschedule



Recommended Posts

I just have to vent... I got a call today from the drs office to ask if we could push back my surgery till the 28th of October. My heart fell to my feet. Wtf! I'm trying so hard not to cry or complain. But I have so much that has been scheduled! Parents coming jn from out of town just to help me and make sure my son gets to school etc. ugh.

Ok, so they asked--you don't have to agree. Say NO, too much already scheduled around this. They'll sort it out.

I had a call Friday from my surgeon's office for a different surgery, asking to change my date. I said No, my plans are set. They said okay and got my pre-op tests schedule so now my date is fixed right where I want it. Not a big deal.

I thought about that but then I don't want the dr taint it out on me. Idk. I'm just worried to piss the dr off. I think the whole problem is that the dr likes to do his surgeries in the morning. That Monday the 21st the surgery would be in the afternoon and they would be short staffed in the . OR. I just wonder why the time wasn't blocked off when I first got my surgery date. I think I am going to tell them no.

Tell them no you already have plans all set at home for that date. My surgery was supposed to be on a Monday and they changed it on Friday to the Thursday. Then Tues of that week they called again to change it to the Monday after I told them I couldn't change my husband had taken the time out of work to be with me an I had already scheduled time out of work. They kept my Thursday date with no problems.

      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.
