I have been preparing for gastric bypass surgery since Feb. of 2014. My visits for my 6 months of dr appointments started in March, and ended in Sept. My final visit was Sept 25th 2014. My doctor sent my all of my papers/file to the surgeon and everything was going great. Sept 27th I was walking my dog and cracked my fifth metatarsal on my left foot in half. The office manager called that monday the 29th and said I was approved and we needed to schedule. I told her about what happened. The doctor called and said I wasn't able to have my surgery during the time of my broken foot because I would not be mobile enough. I was devastated to say the least. I stayed in a cast from sept 27th until the end of November. I also had to have surgery on my foot during that time to screw the bone back together. Finally after I was out of the cast and healed my surgery was scheduled for Dec 12th. I got a call a few days beforehand that the surgeon was overbooked that day and they scheduled me by mistake. It would be the 22nd before I would have surgery. I felt like at this point it would just not happen, something would always keep coming up. But, Dec. 22nd I was FINALLY able to get my surgery. Since then I have lost from 279.5 lbs to 246. 33.5 lb weight loss in almost 4 weeks. That is not too bad in my opinion
Moral of the story: good things come to those who wait!!! lol
