    After being postponed twice with my surgery due to covid cases, I'm now rescheduled for the 27th of June. Reading all this about the scales and stalling I'm one that weighs herself everyday lol it's good that I've watched this video, such vital information for everyone having this sort of surgery for weight loss, thanks so much for sharing ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

    May 2022 surgery?

    Hi Possum, I was quite bad for 2 days tears running down my face depressed. But better now it is what it is, and you are right, we're going to be calling them on Friday to talk to the Medical Board and see where this takes us, bc it's just gone beyond a joke! the way they don't give a damb about how it's impacting people, yo yoing and playing with us like puppets!๐Ÿ˜”

    Well the nurse said I might go and see the appointments clerk to see if they can reschedule in the next two weeks that way you won't ruin your fluid diet and just do another two weeks and she comes back to say there are no appointments for the next 2 weeks so just continue eating normal. I'm just now waiting to hear from them I'm losing my motivation to be honest. I've lost a month of income in the process jeopardising my position in my job, and who's to pay for all the losses and damage in the process? all they do is send you a message apologising! it's just not good enough.

    Thanks for your well wishes๐Ÿ™ we all need it I think, I've been cancelled second time was due yesterday for a RNY and hiatal hernia repair, well prepared! physically mentally & emotionally, I rock up at the hospital after fasting from 6 a.m. in the morning waiting for 1:30pm in my white gown and compression socks so I can be taken in by the anaesthetist. 2.30pm comes low and behold! one of the surgeon's approach me to give me the "bad news" that it's been cancelled due to covid cases resulting in no beds so second time round shatterd with disappointment (sigh) Oh well life goes on, it is what it is, I guess everything happens for a reason.๐Ÿ˜• Wishing you lots of luck on Thursday with your surgery hope everything goes smooth for you and speedy recoveries๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ

    Hi Nina, Although I'm from a Turkish background, I didn't have the courage to go overseas to get this surgery done bc if any complication arises the doctors here in Australia are hesitant about treating somebody else's mistake. So I just bit the bullet and decided to have it here in Australia, I've heard a lot of success stories from people who have had it in Turkey. It's good to hear yours whent well too! Hope everything works out for you in the long run, ๐Ÿ™My surgery is tomorrow I have butterflies in my stomach nerves are flying high lol I'm hoping it goes well as I'm having a hiatal hernia repair and a gastric bypass. All the best to everyone๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

    Oh yes Marianne that's without a doupt my end as well, I never leave the house without my makeup bag lol On the other hand my nerves are quite tense today, butterflies in my stomach as the day gets closer. I've had a few confirmation calls from the hospital and they didn't neglect to mention that it can be cancelled on the day depending on the covid cases in emergency. I think it just started to sink in that it's really happening. I'm so hoping that we don't get cancelled again๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

    That's what I would have thought as well regarding the shakes, but nevertheless I would still pack in a couple of sachets just in case. And personally I would definitely be packing in more than just a toothbrush and toothpaste lol Like extra nighty or pj's, a gown, toiletries, hair dryer, hair brushes, phone charger. As you never know what to expect whilst in hospital with post op, as complications can arise resulting in longer stay.

Wishing everyone best of luck with their surgeries๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
