Corona delaying weight loss surgery dates? Anyone?



Recommended Posts

All my pre-op appointments came to a standstill on March 12th, except for the 2 last pre-op education modules that were done with Zoom online. Last week most of the specialists re-opened. Yes! So now I have four things left to do: sleep study, mammogram, colonoscopy and cardiology clearance. Fingers crossed for all of us!

Had my RNY gastric bypass 2 days ago. I’m home and other sore I’m doing pretty good. Hang in there everyone your time is coming and it will be worth the wait in the end. Best of luck to everyone!

Back in mid-March I was offered a mid-April date, but decided to schedule for May 18 as I realized there were likely going to be some problems from COVID which I was hoping to miss. My May 18 date was canceled about three weeks prior to surgery and I just got rescheduled last week. My new date is July 6 and I am so excited I can hardly stand it! Hoping these next few weeks fly by!

I actually got pretty depressed when I was canceled and literally ate all day. Now I am just trying to lose the pounds I gained before I start my two week liquid diet.

Thank you to everyone sharing here! I love reading your stories.

Hi, everyone, checking in.

Since the last time I was here:

I got engaged after a long term relationship. I mean, the agreement was always verbal but I got a ring recently...

NJ began doing elective surgeries again, so I'm hopeful. Alas, my second surgery date passed three days ago, so...

But I did go through with getting my psych eval with the online service and it went great! My doctor should have the report by Monday and the psychiatrist is refunding my money because the telehealth session is covered by Medicaid. I feel really good about it.

So I guess now I just have to wait to be rescheduled. I hope everything works out this time.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
