well I did begin to have my gastric sleeve surgery on 11/05/2018.

On the table .knocked out with anesthesia .Awaken by nurses telling me. They were not able to do the surgery.

they informed me that they could not introduce the laroscopy where it needed to be to begin the surgery.

The doctors said they tried for 45 minute. even called in ENT to try. Neck just wouldn't bend.

(my neck is fused, due to spinal surgery due to polio} I was so extremely depressed.

So I had to begin all over again. with a Doctor I was referred to. Dr. Katkhouda @ Keck USC.

next week I complete my nutrition classes AGAIN. I'm scheduled again May 7th 2019.

Please let it work this time.

Looking for a free app for my new iPhone that will let me log my blood pressure/ glucose & pulse oximetry in one app.

I had one when I had called Samsung health. But of course it doesn't work on iPhone. Somebody help me.Please

I would like to know also. when I joined BP I was considering a gastric bypass, but my doctor says sleeve would be better for a Diabetic. I cant figure out how to change my surgery type

@covarrubia911 YAY!!!!! Congratulations! Good luck w/ everything!!!! Three days for me....and I'll be sleeved!

Congrats to you also. please text when your waiting to go in for your surgery. So That I can Be excited with you.

been through numerous diet/classes/pills. also had a Lap band. I was originally scheduled to have band removed & have gastric sleeve done at the same time. But when they removed the band. said too much scar tissue from the band wrapping around my liver. How did Band wrap around my liver? Who knows.. my doctor closed the surgery. said I must wait for 1 year before they attempt to do the sleeve. But after going through all that. I had to go to more classes/ 1 on 1 with doctor/ G/I Series/ Esophagus in order for my insurance for approval. Well I did it all. Finally my schedule date at Fountain Valley Hospital is 11/05/2018. I am so excited.

Don't be discouraged.The doctors want this stablized.so that you won' have any problem during your surgery.Just a slight delay..

Keep us notified of your progress..covarubia911.
