6:30 and still waiting I apparently am the very last surgery after everyone is exhausted for the previous 6 ops. Being a band conversion doesn't make me confident in this. The tone is not set well.

If I were in your shoes I'd strongly consider insisting on being done 1st thing in the morning with no additional cost to you. If I remember you drove so flights will be a nonissue, right?

4:24 and still waiting. My "calm" pill they gave me five hours ago has worn off. Now I'm just irritated. Mostly about the uncommunicated increase in patient load.

Ack! I don't blame you. You're almost there, though! Well, hopefully by now, you're long in recovery and feeling far calmer. I hope you relax with the good stuff and have a smooth night.

I like Amanda's idea. Although I guess they are doing this on a constant basis so they are probably pretty accustomed to long days in surgery. I would probably be concerned also.

So sorry to hear this - when I was at OCC I was the first one in. I had a complete melt down going into the OR. I can't imagine having to wait so long. I find it annoying that no one has popped in to give you at least a "hello and sorry you have to wait" update. However, I think when you meet Dr Ortiz and Martinez your mind will be at ease. They are both excellent doctors and it would be my guess that they will accomodate any request to postpone a day.

Sending good thoughts your way - please let us know how it is going.

I'm pretty sure that I can foresee a meltdown in my near future as well! Lol

Oh no!!! I'm hoping no recent updates means you are either in surgery, or they gave you triple the calm down meds and you are out enjoying the loopies before surgery first thing tomorrow!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
