June Sleever's Compilation - Good Luck & Well Wishes



Recommended Posts

Oh June sleevers! I've had possibly the worse possible thing happen. The anesthesiologist could easily get me intimated. After multiple tries he succeeded but then administered steroids to reduce the swelling. This is unacceptable for this type of surgery so my procedure was cancelled. When I woke u they told me and I burst into tears. I'm now trying to either reschedule with my surgeon here, reschedule where he prefers to go and have the insurance pick up my 20%. Please pray for me. I feel like my whole world is shattered.

Giselle,

I am truly sorry you had to have this happen to you. As the others have posted on here to you, I'm glad that they did not continue and that you're okay! Know that you're in my prayers on this.

It will be better for you.

Eric

Giselle,

You're using Dr. Kim; did this happen at Forrest Park Medical Center?

Thank you all! You are the only ones who can truly understand how painful this is for me.

Dad, I'm using UHC's Center of Excellence in Decatur. It's the only UHC COE he goes to. I'm trying to get rescheduled with Dr. Kim at Forest Park and just pay 20%. He's not coming back to this facility until July and I don't want to come back at all. But let me say everyone here has treated me SO professionally and compassionately. But now I'm gun shy. And this hospital is an hour from my house, Forest Park is 15 min.

Oh Honey, I am so very sorry! What in the heck was that idiot thinking? He should have known better! What did your surgeon say? Is he willing to get you in ASAP at FP? What kind of hoops do you have to jump thru w/the insurance.

If you can get it taken care of at Forrest Park, closer to home, maybe it's a Blessing in disguise. We'll just hope for all the absolute best in this.

Lots of hugs. Keep us posted!!!

MamaM I agree this could end up being a blessing in disguise. I talked to my husband at length tonight and he fully supports me getting over to FP. Thanks to you and all my sleeve family for the encouragement and getting me through a very difficult day.

      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!!
