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!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
