Have to delay surgery by one week.



Recommended Posts

Found out today I have to wait 15 days from today to borrow from my 401k (that's how I'm paying for surgery) and that will not be until June 3rd or so and that's when I was hoping to go to Mexico.

I cannot remember how long it takes to get the money in the mail from my 401k so I have decided to wait and try to go to Mexico June 10th. I also plan on using that money for my down payment so I hope I can get a surgery date that next week lol.

I'm also working on my passport and hopefully that extra week wait will be long enough to get my passport.

Which surgeon are you going to?

I don't know! I still cannot decide lol! It's between Aceves and Garcia. I really want Aceves because I've not read anything bad about him plus it's in an actual hospital, but at the same time I want Garcia because he's cheaper and I've only read bad things about the nurses, not him.

I did go apply for my passport today. They are saying I won't get it until June 14th, but I'm hoping its earlier than that. I didn't have the money to expedite it but I did overnight the application.

Olivia, I borrowed from y 401K last year, and for an extra $10.00 had the option to have it overnighted. Did you not have that option? I hate to see anyone have to postpone their surgery.

As far as surgeon choices go, they are both excellent doctors. Naturally, because Aceves did my surgery, I tend to lean towards him, lol.

I'm pretty sure I have that option. I had to delay it because I already had a loan from them and I paid it off early a few days ago. I forgot I had to wait to borrow from them for at least 15 days.

      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... :(
