Look at that, one more for June 4th. How many people so far in her for June 4th?

My surgery got pushed to June 7 instead of 4th. I know is only 3 days but got a bit bummed out.

I totally hear you, I would be so disapointed. There is a lot of planning around the surgery, it sucks to just change the date. Do you know why ?

Surgery date 6/11/18. I am in the tell everyone category as well, but respect other peoples choices to keep it private. I have today off for, lab, EKG, Chest X-Ray, and the much anticipated but dreaded nutrition appointment. So of course I woke up before the alarm went off. Husband is making an appointment today as well, he has COPD among other things and has finally admitted to feeling fatigued. It may be time for oxygen (at least at night). If my 3 kids and 47 years on this Earth have taught me anything, it is that if you don't take care of yourself, you cannot take care of everyone else.

I am a little anxious about the EKG. I have never had one and everyone on my Mom's side is obese and died of heart attacks in the age 50-65 range. Dad's side is obese too, but the women and him seem to have a magical longevity gene. He says we don't know about the men (except him) because they all died doing stupid stuff like getting shot. He will be 79 in June.

I'm also from Texas and will have my surgery on June 11th. I'm excited but have terrible anxiety when it comes to anything medical. My mom's side has a longevity gene but my dad died of a massive heart attack at 50. I'm 43 and just want to feel better and look better.

I'm glad to know someone else with similar concerns. I have all those tests the week before surgery. I hope you get good results.

The surgeon canceled all surgeries for that day.

He needed the day off??

I guess so, I hope he gets a good rest. ?

He had better do some major re-booting because I want him in GOOD? shape for your surgery on the 7th!

Thanks for the well wishes, my Chest X-Ray came back stating I have hyperinflated lungs indicative of COPD and
my EKG came back borderline due to incomplete right bundle branch block. (Over 100ms is bad mine was 92ms). I go to my last appointment before surgery next Tuesday and I guess the Surgeon will go over these issues with me then. Of course I googled all these things and the EKG isn't that big a deal since it is the right side, I might have even been born that way or being anxious during the test can cause it to do that. I quit smoking in 2013 and gained a bunch of weight. When I smoked I would get bronchitis at least once a year, so I have had plenty of chest x-rays. I don't understand how I can develop COPD after stopping. I thought when they found the hiatal hernia that that explained why I get out of breath so easy when I exercise.

Responsible me is glad I am doing this because maybe catching all these issues early will help address them.

Irresponsible me is thinking I never should have quit smoking, because at least I wouldn't have all the health issues that go along with obesity.

Angry me is furious that I have been going to annual physicals and told all I need to do is lose weight to be healthy. Maybe I need to get a new primary Doctor or just stop going to VA. They don't cover WLS because unlike health plans they are not interested in making money (more longevity with less meds=money). Maybe the VA is still on the Doctor gets a bonus if they don't refer you to a specialist plan (That is how the health plan monopoly in my area used to work when my children were little).

Today is Day 5 on real pre op diet, has been a difficult day. Today is my day off, and I felt tiredness and hunger for the first time after starting the diet. Can’t wait to get back to work and keep my mind occupied.
