Nurse with bad typing skills....Grrr



Recommended Posts

I had my 6 week check up today with my doctor. I thought I was doing great, down 48 pounds. I know I could be working out more but with working 2 jobs Im just exhausted. He came in and started yelling at me that I was not on the plan, Im not working out enough and I need to stop eating. I was shocked by this. I came home and looked at my logs. I stay on plan of 1/4 to 1/3 c per meal. I get more Protein in per day then they say. I check the hospital web site tonight for my blood work results. I noticed his nurse had a type-o on my weight. She add 6 freaking pounds. Really!!! Now i see why Im getting yelled at but it's her that needs a good stiff yelling. Miss typing someone weight is a huge mistake.

I know.. I have emailed them about it. I will also call to make sure they get it right on my chart. I left feeling really bad. I didnt eat my feeling like I would have done in the past but I was still tearing my self up over it. Now I see I have done things right and she is the one that need the talking too. If she checks me in again. You bet I will be checking her work before she leaves the room and rechecking it in front of the doctor.

Regardless if the nurse wrote down the wrong weight or not, being yelled at is completely unacceptable.

I agree with brighteyes. The doctor shouldn't be yelling at you, that is wrong. There is a right and a wrong way to approach someone when you are trying to get your point across and it sounds like the doctor took the wrong approach. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience today.

That is no way to treat a anyone, let alone a patient. Even if it had been 42 pounds instead of 48 that is still a average of 8 pounds per week and until he talks to you he can't know if your following the plan, everyone is different they lose different, plus your still are healing

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
