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

omg, i am so sorry!!! I would be ripped! After spending the last 2 weeks STARVING, I think that hospital staff would have to watch out! I hope it gets sorted out soon :-(

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

      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!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
