Lenox Hill Hospital--what to expect? Having sleeve on Tuesday!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm scheduled for sleeve on Tuesday @ Lenox Hill. I'm super excited but just wondering what to expect! What was it like waking up there? Did you go right to your room or were you in a post operative room at first? Did you have a private or shared room? What was that like & did you have anyone staying with you? Wondering where my husband can sleep if he wants to stay! Did you get a pain pump or how were pain meds administered?
THANKS!

I made a list of all those questions for my surgeon on my last visit before surgery I actually wrote a list and took it to ask every question possible. Don't be afraid to do that! Good luck on your surgery!

Thank you for the advice!! I already had my final appointment...should have asked! I'm just nervous and have no idea what the hospital is like staying there...though Beyonce had her baby there so it must be pretty good ;)

I am having surgery on Monday, Aug 3 2015, at Lennox Hill with the same doctor, Julio Teixeira. What was the outcome of your surgery?

      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.
