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.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
