Just got APPROVED yayyy....but no surgery date :(



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I have been lurking and watching the site for months, finally have gotten up enough nerve to jump in:rolleyes: . I started my process mid-August and just found ou this week that I have officaially been APPROVED for surgery (big YAYYY). I was so excited , until I contacted my surgeins office inquiring about my surgery date, only to find out that I have to wait till January to have surgery. I was so disappointed, apparently my surgeon is already booked up for the month of December :angry: . Seems he is VERY popular here in Hampton Roads, VA. So, now I have to wait for his January schedule to open up , along with at least 30 others (so I've been told). I am just praying that it can at least be early January.

Don't get me wrong I am EXTREMELY grateful to have been approved. I know that's a very big hurdle, but I was very anxious to get my band like yesterday. I had already enrolled in a credited Zumba class for school starting in January, I may have to drop it now.

Chops wyf

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
