Thanks everyone. I do have small kids, a 4 year old and 16 month old twins!! I have a babysitter that watches them when I work and she will be here to take care of them. I'm thinking if my hubby takes off that first week he will be able to take me and pick me up from the hospital and be home to help me on the day I come home which hopefully will be a thursday and the friday. He is off the weekend and if he went back to work on Monday that would be post op day 6 and I would be on my own. Someone will be there for the kids, but I will be making my own shakes etc.... Does that sound good? Was everyone pretty able to do for themselves by day 6? Mind you I had two C-sections and never took any pain meds once home, so this might be easy compared to that and taking care of twins after... HAHA....

Good luck, you will do great!

Hey everyone, Just trying to figure out if I should have hubby take the week of my surgery off or the week after. He can't take both weeks off, so trying to decide what makes the most sense. He could just take day of my surgery off and then take off a couple hours to bring me home two days later, then take 3-4 days the next week while I am home. The other alternative would be for him to take the day of my surgery (Tuesday) and the rest of that week. So he would be off for my surgery, the two days I am in the hospital and then the two days after I get out. I am getting sleeved on a Tuesday, was it helpful to have someone at the hospital with you those two days and your first two days home? Would I be better off having him just take the day of my surgery off and then my first whole week home? I really can't decide what is more helpful or needed. ugh. Advice? Experiences? Thanks!

So sorry, I can't imagine how hard that would be. Like everyone else already stated, its better to be safe. I know that right now you are just upset and frustrated. Hopefully your GP can figure out how to fix and get your numbers up. Good luck!!

Congratulations!! I remember being so relieved when I finally got my insurance approval!! My surgery date is 9/4, right around the corner.

Hello Everyone! I am having surgery with Dr. Yatco on Sept 4th, yay! I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to start my new life! I really like Dr. Yatco, he seems very nice, genuine, patient and informative. Did anyone have the Switch? Dr. Yatco advised just the Sleeve for me.
