Pre Ops All Done..Naked EKG..oops!



Recommended Posts

I got the check up from the neck up today at the hospital! I do not know what I was thinking when I got dressed this morning because I put on a denim dress. Okay fine except for the EKG part...the nurse says to me are you wearing a bra..I say no....she says well just lift your dress up and I can put the wires on you like that! Problem......I do not have under wear on.....or a bra......I am butt neehkid under my dress!!!! It gets better...she has no gowns for me to put on. Apparently I am the only person that has ever done this VILE thing before. She calls somewhere for a gown. We wait.....in silence. Finaly the gown arrives! It is 5 times too small...I have to keep an opening in the front which at this point was no problem because I cannot get it to close around my waist! The nurse finds a ratty blanket to shield my naked front and she proceeds with the EKG. Once she gets me all hooked up and turns the machine on she says to me " your heart is beating really fast..relax"

Had I not been tired and semi naked I would have tried to kill her!

I will be banded on Monday ....Finaly!

That is a cool story! I think it is so important that we keep a sense of humor (-:

I had a friend who was so nervous that the paper on the examinig table clung to her near naked backside. LOL!

      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.
