So my surgery date WAS may 21st... But my dr is lagging with my 2 year weight history and my psych is lagging on the letter I need and they moved my surgery to the 30th now... I'm going crazy because there both taking their time like its not importent and they are holding everything up! In so beyond frustrated... It may not be importent to them but for me this is life changing and they are wasting my time! I don't know what else to do :(

I try to look at situations like this as a blessing. There may be a reason why you are meant to have a delay. Have patience, it will happen when it is supposed to. :)

Thanks kitt, I know what you mean in just getting anxious... Especially that I know I hAve my surgery date but I don't even know if I will be approved by my insurance... And I'm trying so hard to get things together n the surgeons office keeps calling and I don't know what to tell them anymore, besides that I'm trying! It's just getting frustrating and my family really doesn't consider this surgery a big deal, because it's elective it's not life or death so their not helping out so much either... I'm just venting but I know your right!

You never know why you are experiencing delays, if you are spiritual, you need to consider your timing is not God's timing. If you had the surgery on the original date, you could have gotten into a car accident on the way or gotten a defective band. You just never know, but you have to trust it and just go along with the process as it comes. I was overly anxious, but the truth of the matter is you need time to go through all of the emotions associated with this life changing procedure. Trust me...there are psychological phases you will go through and I believe they are a necessary part of the process. I haven't had much time to adapt - my initial consult was on April 11, 2013 and I'm scheduled for May 17 or 24th. I wanted it done quickly, but just a few days ago I started a new phase "am I doing the right thing?" Today - I believe so!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
