The wait begins



Recommended Posts

So i hate waiting. I had my band removal on may 23rd due to slippage. June 8th i had my follow up appt and we discussed options. First the doctor wants me to see the dietician so my weight doesn't go through the roof since my eating habits and portion sizes have changed some since the removal. Okay fine except that will be a month from now.. and then i make an appt with the doctor for revision. Waiting.. I hate it..

of course it makes me upset with myself that i didn't just opt for the sleeve to begin with.

So now i have a choice .. do i go with my original doctor who did the band or the doctor who removed it.. They are in the same group and i feel comfortable with them both .. decisions decisions.

Will do!. I agree waiting is the worst but it lets me go back to work and get my things in order before the revision

The waiting is the worst. I got my band removed in the beginning of February and got MGB on 24th May. I gained app. 2 kg. So no big deal in the end but the waiting time was horrible nevertheless. I'm feeling with you.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
