sometimes it feels like you can't talk to your surgeon because he's so busy with other people.

Just keep calling , my doctor has a answering service if no one is in the office, maybe call after hours and it may have his or her cell or answering service that pages them, after all the surgery wasn't cheap or free so you can call when ever you have a concern , I do and my doctor is super swapped out here in Miami area .....

it's like they get a attitude when you ask him a question because they really don't give me time to X questions not even 1 question even if you have it on a list

That sucks! I have the best surgeon. If he's not Around he returns the call. There is a 24/7 answering service.

I have had the best surgeon he comes in and sits down next to you ask how your doing any thing going on and honestly takes his time when talking to you shows pictures and examines everything to you and ask if you understand or have any questions. The hole time I've been in the hospital and its been a Total of 18 days he came in 2 times a day to see me everyday I was there no other dr for him only him including Sat & Sun 2 times each and everyday he came in one day and he knew I was really down and held my hand and told me don't worry everything was going to be ok and just sat there and talked to me for about 20 minutes he just makes you fell like your his only patient

I think he's making it hard for me because he knows I will find a way to get the answer when others will simply depend on him for everything and he's right. This sista has her thinking cap on ;-)

      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!!
