Hi,

I’m new here.

I’m having my surgery at the beginning of may in Montreal.

Anyone else on the same time frame?

We're close! Did you get insurance approval letter or did you pick a date then submit to insurance?

I'm looking at the last week of May, though I may have to push it back a week or two. My wife is having a knee replacement done on May 4th, so I'd like to wait until she's at least semi-mobile and no longer in constant agony. Fortunately both our kids are college age and will be able to take care of us. Neither kid drives though so my daughter will take me to and from the surgery in an Uber, and if we need groceries and such while I'm recovering, we'll have them delivered.

I picked May 30th than they sent insurance in than I got approved and went back to drs to get it changed sooner all they had was may14 so chose that instead of 30th. My drs suck and the lady was like they not going to approve it bc my 6 month weigh in was at primary drs but they approved it

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
