Revision 318

[ge0rgette2 95]

Hi all 🙂
I need to prep for a revision for next week. I have my old “sleeve” paperwork... is it different you think? Surgeons office said 2 weeks liquid but I did not do that last time with my nutritionist. 🤦🏻‍♀️ (who I’ve called and emailed and don’t have time to go see her again).
My surgical coordinator is on vacation, so can’t ask him.
Process was started 8-10 weeks ago and day before pre surgeon testing, last Thursday, they denied my revision. I appealed it and 48 hours later it was over turned. Thank God. But now I’m behind The eightball with the liquid diet. This GERD and hernia is horrible. All day non stop GERD. Doing double dose of meds per the surgeon for months now. So, here I am. Unsure if I should start Vitamins again, good ones etc.
I chew on some gummies when I remember (I know, my bad).
Unsure if they are going in lap or endo to do revision. I guess I could call and find out. Suggestions?
I have Protein Shakes and broth. Jello and pudding too. Ice pops.

If your surgeon has said 2 weeks liquid then you do 2 weeks liquid. They are the one that is responsible for keeping you alive , following the instructions they have given you should be a no brainer

What are you talking about? I’ve left the band??? What!? Just a worker in the office, due to the coordinator being on vacation, she said 2 weeks.
You don’t need to be rude “no brainer”.

Don't assume rudeness when none was intended. You did say "Surgeons office said 2 weeks liquid" which is easily construed as the surgeon's instructions. It looked like you were trying to avoid the liquid diet. Sorry we misinterpreted your post. Good luck with tour revision. I hope they give you very clear directives going forward.
