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?

      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!!
