Well I left the hospital 28 hours after surgery. I was placed in a room with a 93 year old man, who was very ill. He was placed in there at 1015 pm and they made a ton of noise while fighting with him. For the next 7 hours, he continued to set off his breathing machine and kept me up. I did not sleep for even 5 minutes. The home health aid that was with him all night kept yelling at him and taking phone calls and speaking on her cell phone. The 2nd home health aid took over at 7 am and kept up with the same crap. Finally I told the nurse I was checking myself out. So I left. I wasn't getting any benefit being there anyway, since I wasn't allowed to walk, had to pee in a bed pan, and they were only giving me Tylenol. Oh then he crapped in his diaper and they changed it in the room and stunk the whole place out and I was gagging, and almost throwing up. Terrible experience. *side note: doctor was ok with discharging me since I peed, burped, flatulated, passed the leak test, and tolerated jello*

So Monday surgery,

Tuesday miserable

Wednesday extra miserable

Today, happy, no gas pains, and waking 30 minutes a few times a day. Only pain is in my lower left quadron, presumably where they took the stomach piece out. Oxys barely do anything for it. Whatever. :)

People are selfish :( my dad just recently had a knee replacement and he had one night nurse who was a moron! He was on hourly obs and every time the nurse came in they needed to check his charts which are all digital now so on a computer screen, check his iv lines and then go... Dad had the door closed but found that the door opening and closing all night was keeping him up so he half closed the curtain and left the door open so he was in a dark room and. The nurse could easily come in and out without touching anything or waking him... Well this guy would march in and throw open the curtains and then tap away at the touch screen computer and yell to the nurses station and then every time he left he would leave the curtain open!!!! Dad had to keep calling the nurses to close the curtain again... He ended up saying something... All the others seemed to be able to do their job efficiently without waking the whole ward... People just don't think :(

      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.
