Finally pre op surgeon appt. Kaiser



Recommended Posts

So I called the surgery center back and got an appointment with Dr. Fedorka. It's scheduled for July 10th for me to have my pre surgery talk with him. If anybody has any thing they would like to share I would love to hear it, from your your experiences at st. Bernardine, how it was the meeting with the surgeon and what he expected from you before your surgery, did you have to meet requirements and is so did you have to meet back with the surgeon before he scheduled your surgery date?. Things like that. Anyone's experiences are welcome and wanted please.

oh ok.. how was dr fedorka.. hes doing my surgery in November.. he kinda scared me at the visit

He did to me too. He was very rough in person as far as being firm in whatever it is he says. I didn't care for his bedside manner but i trusted he would do his job and he did for the most part. I had a good recovery and my surgery went on with out any hiccups. i would recommend him based on the fact that he does a good job. but just make sure you do EXACTLY what he has asked you to do so you do not get there and he refuses your surgery.

      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.
