I have a surgery date of Dec. 20th. I have been so excited and counting down.... I just found out my Dr. had a heart attack yesterday. I don't know if he's ok or what the deal is. I am heartbroken for him and his family. I also have no clue what to do now....

This is so scary and frustrating...Are there other surgeon's in his office? If so, maybe you can be placed on their schedule.....Praying for you.....

Not that I know of. I don't even know how to approach his office. I have all of my pre-op stuff done and I also paid a hefty program fee as well. The reason I was going for Dec. 20th is because it's a good time to do it for my job. My boss isnt happy about me taking off, so this is the best time for "her". Who knows what happens now.

Once things settle down, I am sure his office will call you. Legally they can't leave you hanging. What usually happens is he will transfer his cases to another doctor. By next week I suspect you'll be notified what will happen.

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

      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! 😞
