Surgery Date Moved



Recommended Posts

I went in today for my pre-op appointments. My surgery was scheduled for the 27th of this month, and they moved it to April 24th. Part of me is disappointed that it's not next week like I'd planned, but the other side of me is happy, because this makes it easier to get people that can help me post-op. Either way, I've got a new surgery date!

sorry for the frustrating delay

you are taking things very well, by seeing the good instead of the bad in this situation, now being able to give yourself more time for your pre-op. Way to go talk to you later

best wishes

Mine got pushed back and forth a couple of times as well. The day it actually happened turned out to be the perfect time for my surgery! Yours will be perfect as well! :)

Good luck and I'm sliding over on the loser's bench!! :)

Mine is scheduled for the 27th. I've had a few crap already?! moments, but I think I'd still be ticked off if they rescheduled. It's good that you're able to take it in stride and find the positive side of it, you know, since you don't have any choice and stuff. :)

Had you started any type of preop diet, that you will have to either maintain or restart? Picked up any Rxs ahead of time you need to make sure not to lose? If you had initiated anything with STD make sure you let them know of the changes.

^ just trying to brainstorm, just in case. :)

I was already well into my pre-op diet (and 12 lbs down!) and have been told to discontinue it until 2 weeks before the date.

However, I spoke too soon. My mother is the one that's coming to town to take care of me immediately post-op. Of course, it happened that she absolutely cannot take any days off the week of my surgery. So, looks like it may be moved again.

I almost wonder if these are signs that I shouldn't be having it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
