patiently/Impatiently Waiting



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Just as my topic says i am patiently/impatienly waiting I started my journey with my first Dr. appt on 4/4/14 and my insurance required 3 months diet with Nutritionist which i finally completed on 7/16/14

Now Im just waiting for them to schedule my surgery. Call me crazy but Im ready to get this over with and get down to the nitty gritty. anyone else out there waiting for scheduling or have any idea how long it generally take to get scheduled one released by nutritionist.

Everything seems to be moving in slow motion, doesn't it? Hang in there!

I feel the same way!!! I had my medical clearance through Kaiser on the 16th of July and haven't gotten the call to meet with my surgeon. I'm so anxious.. especially because most of the people I went to the class with have had or are already scheduled for their surgery. . Sucks!!!:/

I keep swinging back and forth between "let's get this party started!" and "I am glad this process takes a while so it can sink in more before I actually go through this." All this swinging is making me dizzy!

I am almost done with my requirements then I get to wait for approval & to be scheduled too. I am sure I will be a lot more impatient then!

I am playing the waiting game right now but I have not even been able to have an initial consultation with the surgeon yet. I faxed paper work to the office last week so that I can get the process rolling. I called them today and they told me that they received my fax and they will be calling me the middle of next week to schedule my appointment. Why they could not schedule it while I was already on the phone, I have no idea. I want this process moving.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
