VERY UPSET NO SURGERY NOW

[LoriDee 11]

My lung doctor called me yesterday & said my results from the "pulse-ox" test didn't come back good.. So he say's at this time NO surgery approval. I am so upset, I have done everything I am suppose to do. All I was waiting for was the results from this test. He says my lungs won't survive the surgery. REALLY??? I was under the impression that this surgery was going to cure me from diabetes, & my lung problem... I have one more chance to see if my lungs will pass the test... I don't know what to do at this point.. Very upset & cannot quit crying , all I want to do is eat stuff i'm not suppose to eat...

Do lung exercises w the spirometer 10 times or more per hour and look up lung exercises?

I'm very sorry and empathize, I've been on this roller coaster for 10 years now. Just know this is a temporary speed bump. Have you talked to them to see what you can do to improve so that your lungs can handle the surgery?

Thank you everyone! I will start the lung exercises today. No I didn't even think to ask him what I could do to inprove my lung capacity, I was so upset. But I will call him on Monday & find out.

Have you quit smoking in the past six months? If that is the case, then it may just be a matter of time before your lungs return to a more regular state. I had heart failure during a surgery (non weight loss) nine years ago. You don't want to do a major surgery until your body is ready. Otherwise, you could suffer irreversible damage and regret having the damage in the first place.

I meant regret having 'surgery' in the first place. I will be having a gastric sleeve done next month. I have passed my last three EKG and echocardiograms, but I am still nervous about having heart failure during surgery. Being morbidly obese really sucks, but having a major organ fail could be worse. I wish you lu!

Thank you, I wish you luck also. I will be praying for you to come thru this surgery well..
