Delayed...need Inspiration



Recommended Posts

So I was scheduled to have my bypass yesterday but on Tuesday received an abnormal pap smear result from a Gyne appointment. The PA in my surgeons office took me off the calendar saying they couldn't risk anything being wrong. My gyne said it wasn't a big deal and faxed a clearance to the surgeon. However the PA said it was too late and they had to reschedule me.

I now have to wait until August 9 because the surgeon is on vacation and I'm extremely frustrated. I was almost 4 days into my liquid diet and was finally mentally prepared. Now I have to do it all over again in a month.

UGH!!!!

Omg! I'm so sorry! I can totally relate to how you feel. When I went to my preop cleance with my primary care dr and had the chest X-ray done- they found that the left side of my diaphragm was elevated and my dr refused to give me the clearance. I cried like a baby for days thinking i couldnt have the surgery! Thankfully I was able to get into to see a pulminologist prior to my surgery and had all sorts of tests and the pulminologist cleared me for surgery. Once you are mentally ready your ready for it to be done and over with and moving on with your life. I'm sorry you had to go through this- just remember everything happens for a reason!! {HUGS}

Thanks Sunflwr! My hubby has been very supportive but I know he was losing patience with me as I cried the last few days. It's been tough.

      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.
