GRRRR!!!!!

Here I am, all ready to go to the hospital for my op tomorrow when I get a call to say it has been cancelled !!!!!!!!!!

I’m having the op on the NHS here in the UK. There is a shortage of beds and my surgeon’s list has been cancelled for tomorrow as the op is non urgent.

All I can do now is wait to get another appointment, not sure how long that will be. The hospital are saying a couple of weeks, the appointments centre say it could be the New Year.

Hopefully I’ll still become a December sleeve sister to you all. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Best wishes

A very fed up Angela ( UK member ) xx

Hi Angela, so sorry to hear about the cancellation, i know what you are feeling like, do yourself a favour and rant and rave for a few days, get it out of your system then phone the hospital and get them to give you a new date ASAP, i just got my new date, which is now 11th jan, if your new date is in the new year, then enjoy Xmas, and get back on the ride after that, believe me i know it is hard to cope with the decision, but i am on my 3rd date now and still waiting, we will get there, i truely believe that, take care, Viv xx

Hi there to all my brilliant sleeve sisters. Thank you so much for your support. It is really great to know I have you all there to lean on at times like this.

I'm going to phone the hospital tomorrow to see if I can be added to the surgeon's list for next Tuesday. I don't think it will be possible, but its worth a try.

If they can't do that I've decided to wait until the New Year. My surgeon only does the procedure at my local hospital on Tuesdays and I don't really want the week after as it is Christmas week. I live on my own and don't want to put upon family and friends for help over the Christmas holidays, I'd feel so guilty.

I'll let you know what happens after I've called the hospital.

Once again, thank you so much for your support.

Best wishes and hugs

Angela xx

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
