overnight stay or not



Recommended Posts

How much it will cost you depends. My insurance policy has a $2,000 maximum annual out of pocket.... so whether I stay overnight or not I'll be paying $2000. It really widely varies depending on your policy.

I have a low pain tolerance, but I'll have my hubby and my mom there taking care of me plus some pain killers. Most people don't stay the night unless they are traveling (IE Mexico or out of state) or have some concerning health problem.

for me staying at the hospital is working out great. I am here now and I have cable tv, someone waiting on me when I need something. I am getting to have my first Protein shake after the surgery earlier this afternoon.

good luck to all.

Okay everyone! I heard you. I will try to arrange something. I'm going to throw myself on the mercy of my co-workers, and, if that doesn't work out, I'll look into getting a car service.

It is sort of a drag since I live in a rural area and the hospital is an hour (or more) away, but hopefully someone (or more than one) will be willing to help.

I hate to use a car service (although I will if forced) because, frankly, I've had bad experiences in the past with reliability. But one does what one must, eh?

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
