I had a really rough night last last night. They have mentioned discharging me today but I just don't feel ready. My insurance pre approved me for up to 5 days. I want to just stay one more night and leave tomorrow morning. That would only be 3 days.

Thoughts???

I went in on a Saturday surgery. Home Tuesday and I, even though I missed my daughter was happy for the extra time. I was able to rest, walk, sleep. So if you have it, want to then take the extra time.

Please take care of yourself physically and emotionally. That is #1 right now.

I should have read all post first. I'm so sorry. Call a patient advocate. Is the Dr your surgeon?

What is a patient advocate?

A person that advocates for patients. Such as allowing you to stay a other night since it was already approved by insurance and emotionally you can't do the drive right now.

Have you signed discharge papers? If not, request a patient advocate first.

Well I should have done that but I didn't know what to do. I just got discharged and left and the whole time with tears running down my face. I hope this day gets better.

I am less than 24 hours away from my RNY and to be honest I don't know whether I'm scared or not. The biggest part of me is just ready to get the ball rolling and have that part over with. The other part of me is wondering what happens to my family if for some unknown reason that I don't make it out of surgery. Is anyone else or was anyone else worried about this as well? We all know that there is a risk, but I pray that the benefits far outweigh the risks for me. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am for my 7:30am surgery which means the hubby and I have to be on the road by 4:00am. Ugh! At least I will have more time to recover which means I will work my butt off to come home on Wednesday.

My prayers are with you all, as always, but especially my fellow surgery buddies that will be going in tomorrow. I will try to keep you guys updated the best I can. ????

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
