Go ahead...let it out. I remember the aggrivation with my dr's office prior to surgery too! I could have smacked the scheduler in the mouth more than once for making me jump througth hoops I thought were NUTS!

Hang in there... it'll happen. Just do as told and give it time. Althought I have to admit patience is NOT one of my strong points...so I totally understand!

I am so sorry to hear that things keep popping up that slow down the process. I remember in January thinking it would be forever away but its finally here. Tomorrow is my surgery. How long has it been for you since you made the first call for an appointment? Try not to get too discouraged. I was supposed to be in July but my insurance didn't like one of my monthly supervised diet notes so it held things up a little. I thought it was the end of the world at that time but I do believe everything happens for a reason and I think now, this time is better. All doctors are different. I did not even need a sleep test and my liquid diet was only 3 days prior to surgery. I do believe this will all work out to benefit you. Its okay to vent! Thats why we are here. Take care!

Thanks for your kind words i appreciate itits so hard because doing all these things is time consuming my surgeon asks for a lot of preop tests and consults but on the other hand i think the more he knows about your body the better so he knows what is he getting into beore surgery but his office is awful! And congratulations on your day! my best wishes for a quick recovery blessings :)

I know but you have to be on top of your game. Off topic but my son is special need & since he is 3 he is able to get free diapers & a special need stroller but after getting the run around from the company not the doctors. I went down to the doctor office to make the nurse find a company that deals with kids diapers & get moving with his. Stroller. He bangs his head & I love him to much. I fight for all my kids especially him. So fight for what you need & want like me. I don't give up.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
