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?

      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.
