Lenox Hill Hospital--what to expect? Having sleeve on Tuesday!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I'm scheduled for sleeve on Tuesday @ Lenox Hill. I'm super excited but just wondering what to expect! What was it like waking up there? Did you go right to your room or were you in a post operative room at first? Did you have a private or shared room? What was that like & did you have anyone staying with you? Wondering where my husband can sleep if he wants to stay! Did you get a pain pump or how were pain meds administered?
THANKS!

I made a list of all those questions for my surgeon on my last visit before surgery I actually wrote a list and took it to ask every question possible. Don't be afraid to do that! Good luck on your surgery!

Thank you for the advice!! I already had my final appointment...should have asked! I'm just nervous and have no idea what the hospital is like staying there...though Beyonce had her baby there so it must be pretty good ;)

I am having surgery on Monday, Aug 3 2015, at Lennox Hill with the same doctor, Julio Teixeira. What was the outcome of your surgery?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
