Gall Bladder Appt what Appt



Recommended Posts

As some of you know I was suppose to get a Ultra Sound Wed's the 11th to check my Gall Bladder since I have been having attacks on the right side of my chest area. Now when I called the Facility to check if I was suppose to eat or Drink anything they did not even have me down. I had them check several times, different ways and still no appt for me. I called my PCP's office spoke to her assistant and she says yes you have an appt just call them back I told her no YOU call them, so she puts me on hold then comes back to tell me she has to call me back. After an hour of waiting I call The X-ray group to see if I have an appt or not they say yes but it's not till the 12th. Fumming I tell the person obviously my Attacks are not an Emrg issue here so let me call my Band doc and have him Scheadual me at the Hosp. She says oh wait look we have an appt for 1st thing in the morning. I tell you I am PO'ed at the Dr's office plus the X-ray group. But we will hopefully find out tomorrow if I have stones or not. Sorry to vent just mad

And 3 hrs later still no call from the PCP's office oh but I am going to call my Doc and explain cause she is out today. I tell you I could chew right through that assistance rear end if she was in front of me. :)

You go girl! :) That kind of stuff really makes me mad! They don't care if you have to take off work, and they don't care that you sit by the phone all day! I'm glad you get to go tomorrow, please let us know what they say.

I hate incompetence. You've been having this issue for a while, and I don't blame you one bit for needing to vent!

yep, Id say you have a darn good reason to be angry! I would be too! Youve been waiting for this for a week - only to find out that it was the wrong day?

So, tomorrow's the x-ray?

      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.
