Too Much Fluid?

0

I'm a week post op and up until yesterday struggled with getting my fluid intake. Yesterday, I discovered that if I drink warm drinks such as hot tea, I don't have any issues meeting my fluid intake goal. However this morning my left side is...
3 Days Post Op

0

I am 3 days post op and home now. The first 36 hours were really rough as I was so nauseated I couldn't even hold my head up. We finally determined that it was the morphine I was on. Once the morphine drip was removed and the nausea subsied, I...
Wednesday's the Day!

I have my RNY on the 29th. I got sick and thought I would have to postpone, but am feeling much better today thank goodness. I have been trying very hard not to let nerves overtake me. I've never had to deal with the jitters with a surgery...
Pre-Op NSV

0

I'm on my pre-op diet (not full liquid) and am having a shake at breakfast, and for lunch and dinner I can have 2-4 oz of meat with either 1/2 c of cooked veggies or 1 c of raw veggies. Since starting this (and I've cheated a couple times) I've...
Head games and hear issues

I found out my EKG was a little abnormal so I have to see a Cardiologist prior to surgery. Anyone have this happen? Also, I'm on the pre op diet and struggling. I KNOW it's all in my head, but that doesn't make me want to stop. I think the...

Insulin Questions

0

So the main reason I'm having this surgery is because I'm a type 2 diabetic taking 5 shots per day. If any of you are the same and are post op, were you able to come off the insulin and if so, how long did it take?

I got word from my surgeon that my insurance company has approved the surgery. Yay!!! I have one pre surgical appointment and then I have a pre surgery class to take and schedule the surgery. It's finally becoming a reality.
Insurance

How long does it usually take for the insurance company to approve the surgery. I've done everything they've asked, was pushed back for 5 days as they wanted me on the diet from my NUT for 90 days (was at 85)? And my case is still pending. I was...
Hungry

0

I've been measuring my food and have stopped caffiene, carbonated drinks and most of my carbs. I've done really well for about 6 weeks or so. Suddenly, I find myself hungry all the time. I'm still pre-op of course and I'm supposed to be gearing...
Stomach Bacteria

0

I've finished all my pre-op appointments with the exception of the surgical pre-op. My dr's office called the other day to say they will need to test me for a stomach bacteria prior to surgery. Any ideas what that is?
Sleep Apnea

I had originally taken my sleep study and was told that I had mild apnea, but not bad enough for a CPAP. Today, I received a call from the sleep institute telling me that was incorrect. I have to go back for another study WITH the CPAP this time. ...
