HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Ms. ABC is a 57-year-old woman. She suffers from morbid obesity. She also has diabetes and obstructive sleep apnea. She was evaluated in the Bariatric Surgical Center for placement of a band. During her workup, she was noted to have evidence of cholelithiasis. It was felt that the patient would benefit from removal of her gallbladder prior to having band placement secondary to her diabetes and the risk of infection of the band. The patient was scheduled to undergo her procedure on 12/31/09; however, at blood glucose check, the patient was noted to be hyperglycemic, her sugar was 438. She was admitted to the hospital for treatment of her hyperglycemia.
DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS: To return to the Medifast diet. To continue with her blood glucose. She needs to follow up with Dr. B, and she will see me next week on Friday. We will determine if we will proceed with her lap band at that time. She may shower. She needs to keep her wounds clean and dry. No heavy lifting. No driving on narcotic pain medicines. She needs to continue with her CPAP machine and continue to monitor her sugars.
