The NERVE of her having a private personal life!!! Doesn't she know she should be there to cater to all our needs! Hmmphh! LOL!!!!! :lol:

Okay that being said...I am sorry you have to wait....I think this waiting for the office to call and jumping through hoops is infuriating. And even though all the post op folks tell me that this will seem like a blur when I look back, living through it can be exasperating!

Hang in there! My thoughts are with you!

I KNOW!!!!!! Doesn't she know how high maintenance pre ops are???????? She should!!!!! She's been doing this for a while!!! I'm frustrated, but I know this will all happen soon enough! Thanks for the encouragement! At what age do we get patience? Cuz I sure don't have it yet! :P

I went through the same exact thing! I got approved for surgery Friday, June 17 and all that I needed before scheduling was a final sign-off from my surgeon. Turns out, he left for vacation that day and didn't get back until the 27th. Dang personal lives!!

So no one else in the office schedules surgeries while she is out? That is crazy.

ROFL!!! Guido! ha ha ha! Hopefully it will just be Friday. I'm just hoping to still get July 22. I start Vet tech classes August 28th and I want to be completely healed before then. I want to be clear to do all I need to do by then. So, that is about 5 weeks from the 22. Ya'll keep your fingers crossed for me! Yeah, I thought it strange that no one else could schedule too! :/

Wow...welcome to my world.. first the doc went on vacation before he wrote my letter.. that was a week, then I get the approval in 4 days and get the call... and she says... "a scheduler will call you next week"... I'm still waiting and wondering why the heck she couldn't just schedule me herself right then.. Good luck getting the date you want...mine is gonna be a month later than I wanted :( That is if it isn't booked up by the time the "scheduler" gets around to calling me.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
