Rescheduled Mini Gastric Bypass



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I was admitted for my mini gastric bypass and after waiting all night and day (the hospital admits the night before) I was told my surgery needed to be rescheduled because of a patient needing emergency surgery. My first response I was disappointed but then I hoped that the person who needed the surgery survived. My surgeon immediately rescheduled me for Monday October 10 (I am admitted Sunday night). I learned so much on what to expect at the hospital from my 24 hour admission. I packed to many nightgowns,they provided all toiletries , bring a book because I could not sleep and have a bag fill of patience. October 4 is only a couple of days away and I am much more ready now than before.

What a wonderful attitude you have about this delay. How nice that your thoughts are for the person needing the emergency surgery rather than ranting and raving after I am sure being on a pre-op diet etc. Good luck to you next week and let us know how it goes.

      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!!
