Good luck on your surgery today, Roni!
Just scheduled 2/15/21
- Thread starter Roni
- Start date
Made it through surgery. Day of surgery was rough due to acid reflux. Doing better today. Had visit from dietician, the surgeon and the va doctor for weight loss surgery. Still consulting with pharmacist he called twice and might be stopping by in a bit. I have been up and walking and drinking water. The catheter was weird. Body kept telling me to go to bathroom but the catheter was in the way. Possibly going home today. No meds for a week is what they are saying but I think that will be changed
They have approved my antibiotic and duloxitine and my blood pressure med losartin. I have serious issues with the automated blood pressure machines my blood pressure comes out too high. I keep telling them that but they keep insisting to use those things. Right before surgery I crashed two machines til they use a hand held it came in higher than normal but that is what happens when you cut off circulation too many times.
Unfortunately, my sleep apnea doctor is part of a different healthcare system and they don't share information between the two so my settings are not available on my regular medical record. You are spot on about not needing it anymore. I think the last time I used the CPAP on a regular basis was for the first 30 days after surgery. I have not turned it on now in over 6 months.
