I'm trying to get this G.I. test done to see if my surgeon will change her mind about the sleeve due to me having reflux (which I don't even feel).

I feel that her scheduler has gotten offended because I requested another surgeon ( the surgeon I now want is the one I've always wanted but I thought I had no choice when I went to the seminar).

Anyway, I'm trying to get a second opinion with a doctor another surgeon had talked to, but I've yet to hear back from them.....yeah....yeah call me impatient but how long does it take it look at a computer screen, see what the doctor has available and let me know the next opening?

I asked My current scheduler did they pick a G.I. yet because I don't want to wait until everything filed then have to take this test.

So I called my insurance and found out that I can go to any doctor so I decided to call my old G.I. doc who did my colonoscopy. I learned that he doesn't have an opening until November....Uuuuugggghhh!!!!!!.

I was expecting for the surgery to be done by then.

The way it looks, I may not have surgery until 2014.

Since I feel the scheduler took offence when I aided to switch surgeons, I've decided to sign up for the weight loss seminar that he speaks at and plan to explain to him myself situation after the seminar. I feel since they are both from Bon Secours Hospital systems here in Hampton Roads that all my records are in the system anyway.

The curve balls and alternate things I have to do is driving me nuts.....like the surgery its self isn't enough to worry about.

Thanks for letting me share.

      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! 😞
