1 week check up question

I went for my 1 week check up, I am down 10lbs and everything looks real good.

This is where I was confused, they said they didn't have to go behind anything to relocate, my relocation in in the front....what does that mean?

Oh yea again     10LBS DOWN YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have no idea.  Why didn't you ask them when they said that?

I did ask, all I got was that they didn't have to go behind the liver to reroute and that I was one of his easiest surgery's because of how I was re routed

they were talking so fast, I know I should of listened a little better

Well, maybe...but you also need to be assertive (hell, even rude, if necessary) when meeting with your medical team...ask them to explain in language that you understand...now, more than ever, you need to be not only the primary partner in your own well-being and healthcare, you need to make sure that you are your own best and most vocal advocate.

Major League Congratulations on the 10 lbs lost...don't get ****y...I lost 10 lbs as well but nothing since...I continue to believe that it will happen...just not weighing myself every single day...

Oh believe me no ****y from this mouth.....this surgery is a lot of hard work.....I have a long road a head of me

I think we all do...glad to have the company...

 Give your surgeon a call and ask.  Or check to see if you can understand the surgical report.  I started getting copies of my surgical reports after my first surgery, when I went home as a day surgical patient without adequate wound care instructions when they had to make an incision almost as large as any incision I had from open surgery.  

They are not always easy to understand, but if you have them, you can ask the nurse what the report means.   

It sounds like you were really lucky!  

I will do that there was just so much info that I was a little over whelmed
I am 100% at fault for not getting all the info

Heck, I'm sure you were overwhelmed with everything.  You did just have major, life-changing surgery! You can always call his office and ask what your surgeon meant.

Thank you
