osito80 got a reaction from drzrx in OCC patients; seeking input
I’m a RN as well and visitation hours are a thing of the past. It’s outdated and just raises red flag that support person isn’t allowed.
I was also informed that some patient rooms are semi-private. This is a red flag to me.
I asked what the RN to patient ratio was and I did not get an answer. Do you know from your experience?
Are there doctors in clinic at night?
Should a patient code what is the response team composed of?
If patient needs ICU care is that care provided in facility or is patient transferred? If transferred to what hospital?
0700 discharge day 1 post-op; did physician round and do head to toe exam?
Do you mind sharing info? Thank you!!

osito80 got a reaction from cyngco in Finding the courage to get gastric sleeve done in Mexico with a BMI of 33
read this study on bariatric surgery performed on lower BMI patients. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5803286/
opinions and anecdotes are good to form a support system but look to research to be fully informed re: low bmi barbaric surgery.

osito80 got a reaction from ARMoma45 in prepping for eventual surgery
i’ve been watching a LOT of vlogs and have seen several that weight comes back because of inability to overcome excess / poor diet. so, i decided to try a 11 day liquid diet. if i don’t have discipline now then i am unsure i’ll have discipline post surgery.
I am day 3 and yikes this is hard. i’m also a vegan and looking for hot / warm vegan liquids to eat. i’ve got shakes covered but i am wanting warm foods. i had some vegan vegetable broth but it’s 5kcal / cup and 0 Protein.
i am dreading a cold shake.
anyone else do a mental prep like this? lord if i can’t make it i just worry i will blow it post vsg and have had irreversible surgery and spent 5k.
tia for any replies / advice!
