I'm sleeved! My experience so far...



Recommended Posts

I'm in anchorage alaska. Providence is considered the best here so I was shocked at the treatment. The second day was so much better tho. Maybe it was because the first day I had men assigned to me?

Now I know why I knew that hospital! My aunt's sister worked up there for a while. I'm so glad the second day was better! Might have just been the individual. How are you feeling now?

Wow, small world!

Maybe, but there were 3 of the nurses acting like that. Maybe it was just an off day.

I'm feeling better, still feel like I did a million sit ups and it hurts every time I eat/drink anything but I'm able to walk and do more so improvement :)

I think you should discuss this with the Charge Nurse. He or she needs to know this, especially the issue with not documenting your meds accurately. That is definitely a patient safety issue.

I wish I had thought if that before I left. If they call me for the post visit survey I'll be sure to mention that. Thanks for the suggestion!

      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.
