Recommended Posts

Hi Im really nervous cuz my surgery is supoused to be on monday and I feel lost, the nurse told me ahe didn't have the ensurance aproval last monday when we spoke and today the surgical nurse told me that she was doing my paperwork for my sugery monday, im really confuse and nervous cuz she the other nurse never call me back to let me know the anwer from the ensurance company, well the other thing that makes me feel even more lost is that they didnt tell me formally what kind of diet i have to do, they mension something about Protein Shake 3 days before surgery when i went to the seminar, but the nurse didnt tell me anything yet( intruccions) im very very anxious and nervous that i came this far and they ensurance denied... Also when the nurse called me today she said something of getting a clear from my primary doctor but the other nurse never said anything about it, I did my ekg, echo, pft test, blood work all order by my surgeon i though that eas the clear can anybody explain to me, what would be a clear ??? I can take the anxity anymore

Hi . First, call your doctor and ask if you got approval or not. I know I had to diet before surgery, as did most. Remember, they are there for you. Call and talk to them.

They should also tell you about how to prepare post surgery too.

I would absolutely call the office and clarify what is going on. It's better than getting a big surprise come Monday morning. Good luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
