Approved but switched drs



Recommended Posts

So i started my journey in august. I went thru my psychiatric evaluation and nutritionist appointment (my insurance only required the one) but due to the hospital being 3 hours away i switched and am seeking another hospital to go to. Well today i received a letter that i was approved for surgery October 20th. Anyways now im pretty bummed. Could have had surgery sooner. But there is no way id realistically be able to travel so far on such a short notice. Also, has anyone had surgery at clovis (california) community hospital? Thats probably where i am going to go now.

I'm going through ALSA in Fresno, CA and I will go to Fresno heart and surgery center, but Clovis community is a really nice hospital, I've only been to the er and maternity ward though...

@ i was going to use them. But when i went to a seminar and initial consultations with a surgeon were already into January. Hopefully clovis community is a bit quicker.

Lol yes! I tried to make the initial consult in June and my appt wasn't until mid August.... Now I'm just waiting on the egd appt which isn't until nov 25... Lol figures that would be my luck, to have another appt that takes 3 months!! I'm ready, I just have to be patient..✌

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
