I made it under the wire by 3 days and they cancelled on 3/15 for 3/18 the first time. I understand the safety aspect. glad you’re doing well. mine is just a revision so I’ll be okay.

It’s okay. I’m just throwing myself a pity party since getting the call this morning lol The heartburn is horrendous still and I just want this over. My son is supposed to get married in June and wanted this under control ... plus worrying about them cancelling the wedding.

Good luck to you. My hospital has “no elective surgeries till 4/15”. This was the first avail date. I am disappointed but understand. My son gets married beginning of June so I wanted it all over lmao maybe they’ll lift the ban here. Unsure.

Yes. We have a bunch In Ny today and schools closed for 2 weeks. I can’t take the heartburn. I know people are sick. I just can’t.

Thanks. I’m just disappointed etc. I’ll be fine. The heartburn ick for another few weeks... until all the bans are lifted. I don’t wish the virus though on anyone.

Well after being denied and appealing the surgery and waiting 7 weeks for a surgery date which is 3/18, I believe they are canceling my revision due to the virus. Because it’s elective. I hope I’m wrong. I am in so much pain from the heartburn. I’ve been on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. I’m so upset.

Pill box
Seems like a dummy question. Haha. But I have used a 7d vitamin holder am/pm and seems to work for my regular meds. Being revised next week, and just ordered a bunch of Bariatric chews etc. I would like to keep everything together so I’m prepped when I get home. a regular box won’t keep a few chews and fit it properly. Maybe ziplock type item. thanks.

Vitamins

Vitamins
Vitamins, after bypass.. Suggestions please - I had regular gummies since last year, took Flinstones right after my sleeve in 2015. Now getting a revision next week, want to make sure I have a good vitamin on hand for when I get home. Thanks

Revision 318
What are you talking about? I’ve left the band??? What!? Just a worker in the office, due to the coordinator being on vacation, she said 2 weeks. You don’t need to be rude “no brainer”.

Revision 318
Hi all ? I need to prep for a revision for next week. I have my old “sleeve” paperwork... is it different you think? Surgeons office said 2 weeks liquid but I did not do that last time with my nutritionist. ??♀️ (who I’ve called and emailed and don’t have time to go see her again). My surgical coordinator is on vacation, so can’t ask him. Process was started 8-10 weeks ago and day before pre surgeon testing, last Thursday, they denied my revision. I appealed it and 48 hours later it was over turned. Thank God. But now I’m behind The eightball with the liquid diet. This GERD and hernia is horrible. All day non stop GERD. Doing double dose of meds per the surgeon for months now. So, here I am. Unsure if I should start vitamins again, good ones etc. I chew on some gummies when I remember (I know, my bad). Unsure if they are going in lap or endo to do revision. I guess I could call and find out. Suggestions? I have protein shakes and broth. Jello and pudding too. Ice pops.
