Topic: RE: Red Deer Surgery...how long were you in?

My surgery was on Sept 12 and I was supposed to be out on the 14th but I ended up with a infection and they kept me in until the 16th :0). Make sure you get up and move it will help with your recovery :)

I got a call last week that my surgery had been moved to December 23rd (from November 25th).  Will I be in over Christmas?  How long do they usually keep you in the hospital?  I know it depends on how I'm doing but the minimum time?

July 10th was my appt with the Dr and when they officially crossed me over to the weight list.  

I got a call last week bumping my surgery to December 23rd.  Someone else I know with the RDC also had that done to them.  I hope it's not common but I fear it is.

 

Sigh :(

Topic: RE: Does anybody know how much notice you get before surgery?
Thanks for the info Kee. Yeah I called her office a few weeks ago but she said dec or jan but I know she said She had a whole page of people waiting before me so perhaps it won't be closer till February. I was really hoping for December as my husband will be home to care for my kids and myself but I'm sure I would have gotten a date by now if it was going to be in December.like you said you usually get a months notice. ..oh well it's out of my control I'll just keep plugging along waiting.. Thanks for your response

I know several people that had been approved in April and are still waiting for a call. Usually you find out the month before. The booking are usually done around the first week of the month unless you get called on a cancelation. December they do fewer surgeries because of Christmas Holidays.

When my friend phoned Doctor Birches office she was told probably February. If Dr. Birch is you surgeon you could call his direct office and talk to his secretary, the weight wise clinic doesn't book your actual surgery so they wouldn't know. You have to call them and let them know when your surgery date is.

Kee.
