Surgery Postponed due to Southern CA fires!!!



Recommended Posts

I was scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana, Mexico, this week! All surgeries for the week are now canceled due to the fires raging in Southern, California. Apparently some of the staff had to evacuate their homes, and the San Diego Airport may shut down preventing patients for flying in (and out!)

My surgery is postponed 1 week, and I was bummed about that, however the real tragedy is what the Souther California residents are dealing with!

Oh no hope you're not on a preop diet that could make it take forever ;)

I flew into San Diego this morning, our flight almost got cancelled boy was it a rough flight but I was there for a fill at Dr. Ortiz. The fill dr said Dr. Ortiz owns a ranch outside san diego that they think might have burned down. People in San diego and TJ were wearing mask. It was diff a rough day to be there. I took the 1st flight I could get home and was lucky enough to get home safe. I feel awful for those poor people. So many people have gotten evacuated. Its terrible.

My Mum was one of the evacuee's from the Lake Arrowhead area. They've already lost over 200 homes in that area, and the winds are blowing towards her neck of the woods. It's been very stressful, but thankfully she's safe and sound. She said it was very surreal driving down the mountian with the flames and smoke lighting up the skyline.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
