So sorry this happened to you! It has been my biggest fear for about two weeks now. I am scheduled for 7/6. I will be sending you positive vibes for decreasing COVID in your state. [emoji177]

Emily,
I am so sorry to hear that! Mine was postponed several times and it was very difficult to keep the faith and my Momentum forward. You my friend are a nurse and Nurses gave us all hope during this pandemic . Use us to pull you thru!! Prayers being sent your way!

Prayers incoming for you Nurse_Emily [emoji1374][emoji3590][emoji1374]. I am hopeful it will be short lived and all of this wickedness will leave our world soon.
Be strong, know you are loved and God will protect us.
This is one of the things I am concerned about as well. My surgery is in a week and in Seattle. I pray daily for Everything to be ok.
Sending you [emoji3590]

The cancelled my surgery due to the recent spike in COVID cases 😫.. I'm crying... now I have to wait and see and GOD knows when they will reopen elective surgeries. Pray guys.. please pray this is all over soon

Emily - I feel the same way!!! My RNYGB is scheduled for July 14th.
I too am an RN - though I won't be telling any of my assigned nurses that while I'm in the hospital. Curious to know if you'd take that same stance?
Congrats to you, though! If you'd like to DM me, I could really use a support buddy. Curious to know which surgery you'll he undergoing as well.

I found out Friday that my date is July 15. It feels like things just got real as I had to do 6 months with a nutritionist and I’ve kind of been putting it out of my mind. Now it’s real and a little scary and a lot exciting!

I went to my pre admission testing on Tuesday and I was waiting for them to call me in the waiting room and I was reading the forms they handed me at check in and it had listed the VSG and then the hernia repair n then it said and possible open procedure . I almost had a full blown panic attack. I am hoping that is just in case not something they think is going to happen. My visit with the surgeon isn’t until the 24th so I have to wait until then to ask. Has anyone else seen that listed on there paper work at PAT?

Yes love. They put that in just in case. You will have to sign consents to possible open procedure as most of these procedures are done laparoscopic but surgeons must be prepared to go in openly of complications occur. Therefore u assume the risks when u sign consents.. the case of this happening is rare... but obviously they cannot stop mid laparoscopic procedure and ask u to sign consents for an open procedure lol... be calm and have faith no complications will occur.

July 15th here.. so nervous and excited at the same time!

As far as the bariatric ones.. probably going to stick my regular routine and add Biotin, Calcium and a probiotic.

Barimelts is the brand I wanna go with... I've heard so many great stuff about them

They do the same thing for my surgeon they schedule the date and then submit.. they initially called me with a date of 7/01 .. but that's my sons 4th birthday.. I didnt wanna schedule it then.. so the following date available was 7/15 soooo that's what I settled for... I'm so excited/nervous...
