Feeling Overwhelmed

Just two weeks ago, I was excited about getting the approval and now that I have it, the feeling of being overwhelmed is setting in. My Pre-Test is in the morning at 8am and I haven't gotten all the information. I don't want to seem a pest to my bariatric coordinator, but I haven't received any information and she stated she mailed the document. I'm trying to be calm but i feel overwhelmed.

I understand your flustration. I felt very much the same. I have been told very little about what to eat, drink etc. for pre-op and after surgery. It has been very much a learning process.

Make a pest out of yourself!. I have learned from working in health care that the squeaky wheel gets the attention. That doesn't mean rude.....but it is very hard to ignor a patient if they are trying to understand what they need to do to be compliant.

Well I can't believe my bariatric coordinator just called and went over everything. She apologized because my process was real quick so she is trying to get everything in order for my April 2nd date. She told me everything I need for my PreOp Diet and I almost hit the FLOOR. This thing said no meat for two weeks....LORD HELP ME! But now since she has given me all the information I need, I am ready to rock and roll.
