Frustrated Bailey Bariatric



Recommended Posts

I have been waiting for over a week for Dr V nurse to call me to set up my surgery! My navigator was so good to help me through the program fast so I could get my surgery before our vacation. I really zen they are busy but Wednesday I was told there was 3 people ahead of me and she would call me this week. How much you bet I don’t get a call tomorrow either!!! I’m about ready to call this all off. FRUSTRATED!! Anyone else take this long to get a surgery date???

This statement concerns me. Scheduling delays happen. They're part of life. While I understand they're frustrating...treating your surgery this disposably in the face of what amounts to a minor inconvenience gives me some pause for concern.

No criticism meant. Could you possibly be looking for an excuse to back out?

I definitely am not looking for an excuse to back out. Just frustrated that I keep getting a different answer every time I call. I understand scheduling delays happen but how many times it’s happening is what concerns me. My insurance has called me twice to get my surgery date and I keep telling them it’s not scheduled yet. Just concerned.

@acrowder61 I'm rewriting the old mid30s hit
Why won't you answer my questions, dear Bailey
I'm wearing my fingers to a pulp.
You would not give me answers or a knowledge my calls
I think you're doing me wrong.
Remember you said this was quick and easy
And it wouldn't take too long.
Remember I've got a vacation coming
You want me to stand in line.
If I have a heart attack from frustration
It will be on your head.
So give me a date, I really don't want to wait.
There's no rythmn or rhyme
Why you won't give me a time
Dang you Bailey Bariatrics, you're doing me wrong!
Not the world's greatest poetry but I do work cheap!😝👍

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
