June 2014 Dates!?

[chrisflowers 12]

@chrisglowers<br><br> Glad to hear you made it out surgery! Sorry to hear about stabbing pain. Is the hospital managing it with pain meds? When do you expect to go home?

I am on night 2 here at hospital but I will be going home in the morning. I am on oxy 10 mg every 3 hours and it helps me sleep

I'm hoping for an early June date. I'm in the process now of doing the pre-surgery appointments. My insurance doesn't require you lose or anything but I'm in a weird spot that I can't lose more than 4 pounds or I won't qualify for surgery any more. First time in my adult life that I'm not trying to lose weight!

Look forward to "hanging out" while we wait for our surgeries.

I was on the edge of not being eligible, until my doctor wrote the recommendation letter and included that I have GERD (me, I just thought it was persistent heartburn). That reduced the BMI minimum from 40 to 35.

I have started my pre-op diet early as well, it's not to bad but it isn't straight liquid. I am trying to meet my personal goal of 300 or less on surgery day. I'm doing pretty good so far. :-)

Had surgery yesterday at 730 A they found a small hernia so repaired that also. Yesterday was a ruff day . Had lots of pain some from hernia repair and was chest pain. Then incision on left is the most painful. I got to come home this AM . I needed to because I got no sleep at hospital between taking vitals and blood sugar and Helprin shots and insulin shots. Today I ate some broth from wonton Soup from peiwei. It tasted great. Overall 2nd day a big inprovement. I have had no pain meds since 7A and husband went to pick up so that should make me feel better and sleep some more.
