I was given a tentative surgery date of July 29th. It will likely be postponed, so I'm prepared to be sleeved in August.

I was delayed twice, so don't despair. It happens.

Mines got postponed too :( my surgery date was June 16th, and I got a call saying date is changed to August 27 (sigh)...

I got a call as I was checking in that it was cancelled. I had a complete breakdown in the hospital.

They got me in later that day though, so I was pretty lucky.

My surgeons surgical nurse is on vacation and she doesn't feel comfortable doing the Duodenal switch with anyone else. So after talking to them today I feel better. So now I'm scheduled for July 16 th. So I continue with my liquid diet that I've been on since June 24 th ! Shew

Wow, I give you all praise, I think I would have flipped over the chair (and what a mess that would be) if they postponed my surgery. Not that they gave you a choice. That really sucks, especially if you have to continue the same diet I did.

Good luck and if the call back, turn on the crazy. lol

I was postponed for 3 months. Not due to the surgeon but because of my own sneaky health issues. The surgeon wanted me to take a few months healing time from diverticulitis. My original date was June 17th. Now it's August 13 (the 3 months started from the time I was hospitalized in May). It was a hard thing to deal with so I feel your pain. Time has flown by though and I am gearing up once again ..... this week will pass quickly and before you know it, you will be post op and really starting your journey. Good luck to you!

Well it's almost here Wednesday is my big day !! I figure I'll get called tomorrow for my arrival time. My surgeon told me I'd be first so my last to surgery dates it was 5:45. So I'm guessing it will be the same time. I'm just praying things workout and I actually get it over with this time : )
