Hospital BC - still waiting in my room



Recommended Posts


Hello everyone, I am currently writing this as I have been waiting for almost 5 HOURS for my surgery. Those of you who had the sleeve done in Mexico, how long did you have to wait for your procedure?

I was instructed to arrive at San Diego airport at 7am so I can get my testing done. I finished my tests around 9am. It is currently 1:20pm!! I am livid because I have been awake since 3am in order to catch my flight. So far, the nurse came in once. We had to ask for Water for my fiancé, it was never offered. It has been over 12 hours since I had any liquids. Pretty funny when they preach staying hydrated.

Is this normal? I feel like this place is pushing me out to only tell me the procedure will be done tomorrow. I don’t recommend this place as of now because I was never informed of the schedule or the rotation of patients.

I would also like to add that all rooms next to mine are constantly being checked on. So why am I the only room being ignored or left out? COVID protocol pretty much doesn’t exist, just to wear a mask. Every other review of this place really hyped everything up. It’s too late to back out because they were quick to collect my check.

Haha thank you.

I finally got surgery around 4pm… but I think I was forgotten. I called the nurse and I was crying (I cry out of frustration) and then everything rippled. I basically prepped for surgery after my call.

Now I’m trying to sleep but also trying to walk haha.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
