Ugh! Hostpital has no record of surgery for 14th!



Recommended Posts

I'm a little nervous now. I was originally scheduled to have my surgery on October 4th, but I had an abnormal EKG come back so my Dr. wanted me to undergo further testing. So they rescheduled my surgery for this coming Friday, the 14th. I'm supposed to call the hospital a week ahead of time to pre-register for the surgery, so I called on Friday and left a message. They just called me back and said that I am not scheduled! If I have to change around my time off from work a third time, they are NOT going to be happy. My Surgeon's office is having phone trouble today, so I can't get through, but left a message with their service. :cry

Yikes! that can't be good. And how frustrating for you! I'm sure you are stressed enough, I was a certifiable basket case the week before I was banded.

Call the hospital again, call your doctor's office again, keep trying even though they are having difficulties. Make sure the service understands how important this is.

Cheers and courage!

Ugh! Who needs that kind of frustration when you're already nervous about surgery... Keep calling the office even if the service gets irritated. I hope it all works out for you!

Oh good gosh !! I'm sorry to hear about this mix up. Hopefully your doctor can get on the phone and fix it. Hang in there Andrea.

      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.
