March 1st Scheduled



Recommended Posts

I originally was scheduled for Jan 26th but couldn't get my cardiologist to sign my release for that day so now I am scheduled for March 1st. I will just be glad to get it over with and start the process. I am not getting any younger. I am a senior at 62 and I want to enjoy some thinner years.

So sorry to hear your surgery has been postphoned. I also had some trouble with my PCP not giving me the medical clearance because the PCP didn't have a surgery date. The surgeon didn't want to give me a date until we had PCP clearance. I finally told the surgeon you have to give the PCP a date otherwise this surgery is not going to happen. He finally did give the PCP a date. However he still hadn't given me clearance. I just kept after him and got the office manager involved and on Dec 31st I finally got my date.

Keep doing what your doing and come March 1st you have lost even more weight and will have a better recovery. I wonder why I no longer saw your posting in the Jan threads.

I have created a Facebook page for March Sleevers 2016 but it is a secret page because many say they don't want people to be able to see their names on the member list. If you would like to be a member please send me a private message and let me know your email address for FB and I can send you an invite.

:D

I was originally scheduled for feb 1, 2016 but I fell. I went to see an orthopedic surgeon and found out I have ruptured my Achilles' tendon and have fx my heel bone. I have to have surgery to fix this and it is scheduled for feb 1, 2016. My sleeve has now been rescheduled for march 21...

I have never had any breaks or fractures and my only surgeries were baby related...1 c-section and 1 infected ovary ...11 and 20 years ago!!! This delay must have happened for a reason. It was a bummer to find out I had to be delayed...I was so close!!! I had made so many February sleeve friends and was so excited to start this journey with them. I'm still excited to follow their progress but I look forward to making new March sleeve friends.

I'm scheduled for March 15th. I am getting excited but scared also. My brother in law claims it is the free of the unknown, I agree but it still isn't easy. I am committed to the surgery though. My every day struggles convince me that I am on the right path.

We are still looking to add more March 2016 Sleevers to our Facebook page. The page is marked as secret so you can't search for it but if you send me your facebook email address I can invite you. I am having real trouble getting into Bariatric pals today so you can either send me your FB email at my private message here or to dieselgal@twc.com

      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!!
