LessFee got a reaction from texasnewf in 2 days post OP my temp is 99.3
Usually, it’s not a concern unless your temp is 100.4 or higher. Then the concern would be for infection. Maybe take a look at your discharge paperwork and see if they included temperature parameters? It should tell you what things are concerning and when you should call your doc or go back to the hospital. Good luck! I hope it doesn’t get higher!

I had my pre-op appointment today! I got my labs, EKG, and chest x-ray done. I also got my pre-op diet, post op diet, and surgery instructions. I start pre-op diet on 7/10, and surgery is 7/24. It’s finally starting to feel real!!

I will say, as a person who used to work in a doctor’s office, that HIPAA allows for 30 days to send records. They probably know that and are just being salty by taking their sweet time. Definitely send the certified written request for the records. I know you want to get the surgery done, but just think, you’ll have post-op visits at this place, and you’ll have to deal with them for a while. Do you really want that knowing they have horrible customer service? Best of luck to you!

How small is this practice? I only ask because usually, the doctor/doctors have no idea what’s going on with the front of house. They count on the practice manager to run the office and fulfill records requests. The manager has probably heard that you’ve been calling and is holding up your records. Before I took over, our old manager used to do that, too. It looks like you’re in good shape to get duplicates of what you submitted. That’s great! Just have those items sent over to a new doc, and they can write a new letter of medical necessity to get you reapproved with them if you want.
Just a heads up for the future: it’s always a good idea to create your own medical record. Anything you submit to a doctor or to your job regarding your healthcare (FMLA papers and such) should either be a copy, or if they require an original, you should keep a copy for yourself. If you see multiple doctors, you can keep different folders for each, or you can just have one big folder; whatever makes sense to you. This way, you have a bit more control over your paperwork!

I'm happy to say my surgery has been scheduled for July 23rd. The coordinator finally called me this week and apologized for the earlier mix up. She went into a big explanation about what might have happened but honestly I was so glad to finally talk to someone I didn't care. Thanks!!! 😊

LessFee got a reaction from KarenLR75 in Just when I thought I had no more questions - clear liquids question!!
Red and orange are usually a “no-no” because if you vomit, or they’re observing your insides, they don’t want to be thinking it’s blood. Which is why, if you notice, hospitals usually only have green or yellow Jello. Even though they didn’t specify, I’d avoid red stuff anyway just to be nice and to avoid any possible/additional unnecessary testing/complications.
