totally bummed



Recommended Posts

:cry i am so totally bummed! i just found out that before i can get my band done i have to have cardiac clearance due to an abnormal ekg. the soonest i can get in to have that in is feb 17-21. that will push my band back to 3/3 instead of 2/3. i have had ekg's in the past and they usually come back abnormal because i have very tiny arteries. nevertheless, they wont do it until i get cardiac clearance. this is also going to push back my dh band surgery also until april rather than march. im just so bummed i could just cry. i was so excited and looking forward to next friday.

I feel your frustration... I was originally supposed to be banded in February or March of 2005 and it was postponed until the end of July. I shed a few tears myself, but just know that the big day WILL come. Hang in there!

The reason I got banded was because I have a heart problem BAVD (Bicuspid Aeortic Valve Disease) and I needed to get this darn weight off for my hearts sake............ So god forbid that you do have a problem with your heart I really don't believe it will affect your getting banded.

Good luck and I'll Keep my fingers crossed for you.

Does having a bicuspid aortic valve a comorbity for the weightloss surgery? Is it considered cardiovascular disease?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
