Anyone scheduled for February 2018???



Recommended Posts

my surgery date is February 8th! i'm mostly excited and a bit nervous...very anxious for the day to get here. The last thing I have to do is a stress test which is scheduled for January 22nd at my pre-op appointment. I've already started my pre-op diet to get my BMI below 50. so far so good....if anyone is on IG, I just started one to document everything, short_sleeve_me

Good luck to everyone!!

My surgery is on Feb. 19th in Mexico. I share the same feelings about being nervous and even sometimes talking myself out of this. I had started the Paleo diet just before Thanksgiving and have lost 12lbs. When I think that I don't need surgery, I just have to remember that I have been dieting on and off since 5th grade and I'm now 57! Time to take control!

So, I've been so anxious. Had some bad weather in Jersey a couple of my appointments were cancelled. Now I have to rush to fit everything in. So far, my date remains 2/7 and today I go for my ultrasound. Yesterday, the surgeons office submitted my paperwork for approval. It took like a week to get it submitted because the Nutritionist didn't send the right information. Anxiety is definitely creeping in. Right now I feel like, if things can go bad they will but I am a fighter and I want this soooo bad!

My surgery is now scheduled for 2/09/18. I am beyond ready for it. I was originally scheduled for today 1/18 but got sick and it had to be rescheduled.

Glad it's him, I'm a non traditional aged patient but he's still willing to do it, and yes it's a Center of Excellence rating also., I'm gonna only,do,this once so it had better be good and yes I'm also RnY I have pretty strong GERD and it is the Gold Standard surgery. Keep me updated on your journey, ok?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
