Rs226

Office said due to personal issues with surgeon and can't reveal. First thing I asked was could another doctor do it. I'm ready to go. Answer was no. She said she should have new date in a few weeks Leaves me hanging as just completed the pre-op diet. Etc. I barely ate today and feel So bloated now. I had watermelon which I guess too much sugar Just disappointed as the mental preparation was there too

Thank you. I was just in shock as I was ready to go I overcome mental anxiety from past few days I did learn a lot and benefited from the all protein and liquid diet of past 2 weeks. I'm going to continue low carbs low sugar , high protein and try to stay around 1200/1500 net calories a day. I say net ,, cause if I eat more , then I must exercise the calories off. It was ( is ) very disappointing but with the support of you guys I have faith to keep my head up and just consider this a delay only I really feel without this support group ,, reading everyone else posts. Etc etc. I would easily leaned towards just canceling it all together. Let's see what the future brings. I have to be honesty ,, this set back is trigging doubt. As in maybe I should try to lose on my own ( but geez … I couldn't do it in the past 10 years so why now?)

I've been on my all liquid 2 week pre-op diet ,, surgery is ( or was on Aug 30 ) less than 48 hours from now. All preparations have been done / blood test at hospital , purchased vitamins ,, heck even made homemade chicken broth yesterday Well my doctors office called few hours ago and said due to Unforeseen personal life reasons the doctor needs to cancel the surgery She did Say they would call me in a few weeks as soon as they can reschedule I'm just in complete shock as was ready to go ,,, arranged everything. I'm mean. It is in 2 days from now ( or was ) This completely deflated me and I'm asking if anyone had similar experience with last-minute cancellation. It's interesting to note being on this all liquid diet for past two weeks I have no desire to go eat solid foods such as a hamburger or anything. So what does all this mean… That it will be rescheduled 1 or 2 months from now? Part of me just wants to try to lose the weight on my own now. But I know the vertical sleeve surgery is a tool to help me lose weight a lot easier and keep it off. I found this wonderful support group website and you guys feel like family. I guess I'm a little emotionally disappointed but I have to remind myself the insurance has been verified everything is been done as just a matter of the doctor rescheduling when he can I guess. We put so trust in the surgeon maybe this is a sign to find a new doctor perhaps. Thank you for reading this post and any replies are appreciated as this set back really makes me confused

Thanks for the comment about writing a note to your children because I was thinking the same thing with my 10 yr old. That made me laugh - thank you [emoji106]. I've been researching and looking forward to this moment but once they picked the surgery date ( Aug 30 ) anxiety kicked in. Not so much about the thought of dying but rather ,, how it's a permanent change I guess I am over exaggerating this because actually who wouldn't want to decrease their stomach pouch size if it gives the the tool for less calorie intake ? All makes logical senses and I am fully aware this is only a tool ,, we must change the way we eat ,, less carbs… less Sugar… Basically 1200 cal a day which leads to my next question ,, in week 7 as you are ,,, is it true ,, the hunger hormone pretty much goes away ? Do you find yourself hungry or do you find yourself forced to actually eat something ? Thank you so much for your reply. With 5 days to go I want to minimize the anxiety

Woo-hoo on Sept 8th [emoji106]. I'm on Aug 30th and very excited. A little anxiety but reading these posts helps a lot [emoji736]. Let's do this. Let's start a new chapter in our life ,,, losing a lot of weight [emoji2]

Thank you for your timely reply. I feel a Special connection and support knowing your surgery is same day as mine on Aug 30 Yea - I have a same day surgery partner. Lol. I was worried too about my liver not shrinking enough , but at my hospital visit yesterday I lost 7 lbs in past 10'days so I will just trust all will be fine there My doctor office actually says if you don't lose weight in 2 week pre-op diet ,, they will probably cancel surgery. I am surprised how I come to terms with just drinking fluids ,, protein shakes all day. So dropping the pounds is motivating. Honestly. I'm at my lowest weight in 10 years ,, although still 100 lbs over Goel weight. It's still exciting. I thank you again for replying. It's feels good knowing you or anyone had the same surgery date. I am still trying to shake these jitters so I am going on a long walk right now as the sunrises I feel much comfort now. Thank you

VGS surgery is Aug 30,, 5 days from now. I've been waiting so long for this time to come ,, get approved ,, insurance approved ,, etc etc and been dillegently following pre-op diet requirements, but past few days I encounter serious anxiety attacks Now that surgery is set and _________. Well heck ,, encountering anxiety attack now I just have to remind myself I've tried for 10 yrs to lose weight unsuccessfully. I've been researching gastric bypass surgery for 2 years and although I decided on vertical sleeve surgery i need to keep remembering the words of a few people I know who had this surgery ,, they all said ,,,, the wish they had the surgery eariier its a positive life changer Ok ,, wow ,, i am calm again. I need to stay strong in these remaining 5 days before my Aug 30 surgery I am glad I found this website as a support resource. It's 530 am. Looking forward to reading many posts after I get my son off to school. Thanking anyone in advance for any words of strength and encouragement 🙏😃
