2 week visit tommorrow

Tommorrow is my two week visit and it seems like time went really quickly. It's like yesterday I couldn't wait for my date to get here! I'm making a check list of things I want to talk to the doctor about. He told me pre op to remind him at this visit that my Iron levels were low before surgery. I'm going to ask him about this oxygen machine they are making me sleep with because they think I might have sleep apnea. I want to ask him if I can stop taking my pain medication (I know sounds silly but it's making me not able to concentrate). Hope I don't forget anything....

Brooke good luck at your 2 week visit!! You seem to have done really well! Shelli

Brooke good luck on your two week visit, hope you get all your question answer. Ruth

Brooke, I am surprised they did not send you for a sleep study pre op. I am also surprised that you are still on your prescription pain meds. With open RNY like I had I was off of it by the time I was 7 days PO. There is liquid (if you are not to take pills at this time) extra strength Tylenol that you can buy at Walgreens. It may not be the pain meds that are the problem, it maybe the general anesthsia that you had that is causing the problem of the concentration. Ask your doctor about getting on vitamins and minerals, you should be on those if you are not. Chris

I was off my pain meds too by the first week and at my 1 week appt. I drove to it! I did call the doctor to make sure it was okay first though I also had open RNY. I go to the doctor for my 1 month tomorrow. Blessings to you all and HUGS to my friends, Katie

I didnt take any pain meds except the night of surgery... But I come from a long line of women who have a really high pain threshold... Debby

You better be awake and on your way, miss! Be sure to let us know how it went! CAthy

Hi Brooke, Good luck at your doctor appt. that is a very good idea to write down your questions before the appt. so when you get there you have it all with you and don't have to try and remember. I seem to forget things like that all the time lol Hope all is well with you. Anita
