No surgery today as planned :o(



Recommended Posts

Well I was scheduled for my surgery today and got a call Friday that the doctor hurt his arm and if I received a call from him on Sunday or Monday, then they would have to reschedule. Well sure enough (after I drank my first bottle of Magnesium Citrate) he called and said he was still in too much pain. Although I was disappointed, I would rather he be well before he cuts on me. I know God is in complete control and he does everything for a reason, so am trying to be patient. Should receive a due date today. Praying for a date next week!

Thanks MeMeMEEE, I just hope I don't eat myself info a hole while I wait (hehe). I guess it really was a good thing being that it is flooding here.

I believe in fate too and there is a reason why you did not have your surgery today. You will know in time why it didn't happen, but stay positive and you will have it before you know it!

I am going to repeat what someone else said "great positive attitude"!! I think a lot of people forget that doctors are people too! Things happen that they can't control. I am also impressed that your surgeon called you himself and didn't have his office staff do it. I know it must stink to have to wait, but at least your surgeon seems to be very caring and responsible!

Thanks KellyL and kellyw74! But you know you have that little bit of doubt wondering if that was a sign that you shouldn't have it done. But I am going to trust and believe that everything will be fine. I just got a call back from the doctor's office and I am now set for Sept. 12th. Not the first patient this time, but hey, I'll take it! Maybe his coffee will be good and kicked in by then. I am so ready to start my "new" life. Yay!!!

I know Emily, that really meant a lot that he called me personally. He said he felt bad but he wanted to concentrate on the surgery instead of focusing on his pain. I love that he is a perfectionist, yet believes in God himself. That is a real plus with me! He also did my sis-in-laws surgery and she looks great (has lost 136 lbs).

      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... :(
