Where in Jersey are you? I'm in the northeast and I know they are talking 1-2 feet .

I am in Middlesex County, right in the middle of the state.....under a blizzard warning with 12-24 inches possible.

Well the hospital must stay open. Hospitals don't close. So that's not the issue.

Id be more concerned on surgeon and anesthesiologist.

How far are they traveling to the hospital? They may postpone you but can't see it being more than a day or two. Call first thing in the morning

My surgery has officially been postponed by the storm. I am very emotional. The surgeon called and said we had to reschedule (at the earliest) Friday. Probably next week. She said I could be less strict on the pre-op until then because I'd done so well. I'd rather just be sleeved.

Sorry to hear it @@greatestnameever hopefully you'll be rescheduled sooner rather than later. We've waited so long, that even a little longer seems brutal. Wishing you the best

I was supposed to have my surgery Tuesday morning, I spoke to my surgeon today and it will most likely be postponed till Thursday. My procedure was at a surgical center and not a hospital so I an sure that plays a part. He was worried about roads, the parking lot, and possible power outages. I'm trying not to stress out get to bummed out it is only two extra days.... good luck to you

I'm sorry you guys. It's only a delay. You got this. Most of you have waited this long a couple days will be a snap.

I'm so sorry that your surgery has been postponed. I know you've had this date circled on your calendar for weeks, now. Just trust that delayed isn't the same as cancelled and this curve ball that Mother Nature has thrown is just the last event in the saga that leads you back to good health and a new life.

Patience. Peace. Hope. Faith.

@@greatestnameever - I'm truly sorry for you and others having your surgeries postponed due to the storm. I realize how frustrating it must be to be prepared for a certain date and then have that changed.

flight was cancelled - storm and my connection was through there. hopped in my truck, started driving

Talk about stressful, where there's a will, there's a way.

@@Kindle

sounds like you didn't panic

thought about your options

and the Smarty Pants you are

you figured out what to do :)

i don't do well with stress :wacko:

i would have totally freaked!!!

screaming running in circles :wacko: ;)

worried hospital or surgeon may cancel.

@@Samantha&Sunshine

your fears are understandable

going to the hospital early, what a smartie are you?? ;)

surgeon, other staff also should/will be prepared for the snow storm :)

doesn't help to expect the worst :blink:

hopefully things will work out tomorrow

but IF you must postpone ..............

GET OVER IT :lol: :lol:

surgery will happen :)

you've waited a long time to get the sleeve

a few more days won't kill you (I don't think they will :blink: :lol: )

fingers, toes crossed :)

good luck bud :)

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
