Wow BBK, sounds like a huge mess! I can only imagine how upset you must have been! I do agree about calling the hospital and asking for some type of compensation. The least they can do is give you a gas card to cover your second trip.

Kudos for your DH finally stepping up and being another voice in your corner!

Good luck tomorrow!

Hey ya all

I am off again to surgery! I hope to hell they get it right this time or I am gonna kill someone. I called yesterday to make sure they had the port. I was told she had it in hand.

I will be complaining and calling the paitient advoacte after today. This is beyond a normal screw up. It should have been taken care of a long long time ago.

Wish me luck everyone! Sad that I feel I do need it! lol.. :thumbup:

They called to other hospitals but couldn't find one.

Interesting. I wonder how far out they called since I take care of the OR materials at my hospital and know for a fact we have 2 on our shelf. I am also surprised they could not contact the rep to bring one in. You have every right to be downright pissed off.

I hope everything goes well for you today! Good luck chica!

Surgery update...

Well I am back from surgery. Things didn't go smooth from the start. There was a bad accident on 127 and we had to get off. We got lost. :) BUT I did make it there a half hour late.

But they did take me anyways, thank goodness. Surgery itself went well. But right now I am feel absolutely horrible. I can not sleep, everytime I nod off I am awoken by choking on my mouth. I am gagging on my own stomach vile. I have tried everything to stop it, nothing is working. They took out 3.3 ccs and put back only 3 so I am sure that I am not too tight.

I am truly exuasted and in a huge amount of pain. I know if I could fall asleep I would get rid of the pain for a bit. I can say this is truly WORSE than the TT. At least then I could rest and get my mind off hte pain.

But on the cool note, I do have my old port here with me. lol... Only me eh? I am going to make a shadow box with my before picture with the port in it. To my bandster friends, you would be amazed at our friends that live in us. Mine has huge knicks all over on it. I know it from all the times they couldn't access it right.

Keep me in your thoughts, I need this pain to ease and this chocking to stop. I need some rest.

      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.
